Let’s take a look at some of the top vendors paving the way for construction innovation in the XR world. As demand for metaverse environments continues to grow, the presence of Meta in the construction space is sure to evolve. MagicLeap. Additionally, Microsoft Mesh also integrates with Microsoft Teams for collaboration.
In the construction industry, professionals can work together on digital twins of schematics, blueprints, and products in a shared VR world. MagicLeap. The MagicLeap environment today is well-known for producing a host of mixed reality and augmented reality experiences for business environments.
This week, we look at the ongoing proliferation of the metaverse as a buzzword and construct for spatial computing’s future. If you really want to understand the putative metaverse, listen to this conversation with Viacom/CBS futurist Ted Schilowitz and MagicLeap founder Rony Abovitz. W elcome back to Spatial Beats.
It’s fair to say the construction (AEC) industry represents perhaps one of the most significant markets for XR technology. Today, we’re looking a little more closely at the benefits of XR in the construction industry, by exploring some of the most innovative case studies published by market-leading vendors. HTC VIVE and CannonDesign.
Global tech giants such as NVIDIA, Lenovo, Unity, Epic Games, HTC VIVE, and others have already entered the metaverse space race. New mixed reality (MR) headsets such as the Meta Quest Pro, MagicLeap 2, Lenovo VRX, and Pico 4 Enterprise have dramatically stepped up the XR industry. Downsides to Metawork.
Aecom, the American multinational engineering firm, is implementing augmented reality into their business with a pilot project using the Hololens in engineering and construction projects in London, Hong Kong, and Denver. Real Work to be Done: Aecom and Hololens Team Up.
Regarding the industrial metaverse, he stated that global enterprises proliferated use cases in manufacturing, municipal government, construction, education, health care, and financial services. The event has seen Meta Platforms, AT&T, Lenovo, HTC VIVE, MagicLeap, and many others join the three-day activity near Miami Beach.
Peck is also the Board Chair of Prospera Women and hosts the Future Construct podcast. Peck later segued to updates with her company, EndeavorXR, explaining it had always worked with larger original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as HTC, MagicLeap, Meta Platforms, and others. Keynote 2023 Tech Trends.
Event organisers and featured thought leaders will provide a space for attendees to learn from leading XR companies that will share valuable insight into real-world enterprise-grade immersive technology use cases such as education, marketing, and construction.
At this price, Apple’s primary competitors are the MagicLeap 2, Microsoft’s HoloLens 2, and Varjo’s VR-3 — all enterprise headsets. Many of the world’s midrange enterprise headsets like the Meta Quest Pro, HTC VIVE Elite XR, and Pico 4 Enterprise are priced well below $1,500.
Companies like Varjo, MagicLeap, Meta Platforms, Pico Interactive, Lenovo, and HTC VIVE have entered the industrial XR space to create solutions tailored to professionals with complex requirements. Once dominated by the entertainment industry, extended reality (XR) has quickly demonstrated its value to many sectors.
Uniting the Industry Multiple companies, from Meta Platforms, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Microsoft, HTC VIVE, ByteDance, Sony and even massive telecoms like Nokia and T-Mobile are chipping in to increase adoption rates for spatial technologies. Startups, experts, and even researchers are equally contributing to its development.
The firm’s first XR headset is due soon, and with it comes a spatial computing ambition that draws similarities and differences to Lenovo, Microsoft, Meta, HTC VIVE, and other XR headset vendors. Apple is gearing up for the Vision Pro debut.
The file format has since become a major global standard for world-building, visual effects (VFX), digital twins, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), and robotics. .” Pixar developed OpenUSD in 2012 and open-sourced the file format in 2015 to the global community.
As I’m thinking back to it now, this was actually on HTC VIVE — first gen, which was only maybe 3, 4 years ago now — and I was so impressed with the first generation of hardware that I was like, “well, this is ready for prime time.” And that’s just in North America. Alan: Absolutely. Alan: Yeah.

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. GB: MagicLeap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Ellsworth: VR is amazing.
As I'm thinking back to it now, this was actually on HTC VIVE -- first gen, which was only maybe 3, 4 years ago now -- and I was so impressed with the first generation of hardware that I was like, "well, this is ready for prime time." The reason that's important is because there's about $30-billion lost every year in construction rework.

” Mister President unleashing the Vive superpowers (Image by HTC). The application had a preliminary stage where you could construct a very very rough model of the room by just taking automatic pictures. And so I started experimenting. This is something to take in mind when we develop the XR headsets of the future.
I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and MagicLeap. They’re much more distributable than the standard Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, which has to be hooked up to a PC. Carter: All right. Wishing you all, uh, good luck.

We are all talking about the m**averse, and for sure the ability to build entire alive cities that can be visited in multiplayer will be an important brick in the whole m**averse construction.

Antony: Yeah, of course, I was there; I listened to all the presentations by HTC. I think that the strength of HTC now is the services that they’re offering for enterprises. But definitely, HTC is really far ahead with the services and, being able to do that. Maybe let’s talk later about that here on this podcast.
Companies like MagicLeap and Hololens, those are great devices where most of the compute is done on the headset… well MagicLeap is actually done on a pack that’s wired in. They’re concerned about the build and construction and function for their family. Alan: Yeah, I think so as well.

So you see a lot of it in architecture, engineering, construction. So people who are in factory floors, or people who are meeting assistance for remote collaboration, or the people who are on the grounds physically doing these different actions, whether it’s on a construction site or a factory floor. It’s amazing.

In the three to four years since the release of Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the number of VR headsets available on the market has grown. 9% of the construction workforce. Millions of VR headsets have been sold and PwC expects an installed base of 55 million active VR users by 2022. In 2016, women made up: 90% of registered nurses.
This kind of seamless interface is great and it is exactly the same one that HTC already offers with the Vive Focus Plus and Viveport Streaming and that I’ve tried and appreciated. I guess Oculus will aim at something similar, because it is very handy (Image by HTC Vive). Rift line gets discontinued. Privacy in AR.
