Like in our ongoing “ follow the money ” exercise, they’re each building wearables strategies that support or future-proof core businesses where tens of billions in annual revenues are at stake. After examining Amazon and Microsoft , it’s time to zero in on Google. For Google that of course means search.
Visual search, a la Google Lens , meanwhile lets users identify items with their smartphone camera as a shopping launchpad. Of course, all of the above speaks on conceptual levels in terms of AR’s value. Now it’s time to revisit this exercise with the latest data. Google Swirl is a good example of both.
That could be wayfinding with Google Live View , or visual search with Google Lens. As you can tell from these examples, Google will have a key stake in this “ Internet of Places.” That forms the basis for its storefront recognition in Google Lens and urban navigation in Live View. Google isn’t alone.
Notably, when kicking off this thought exercise, we realized that several of the topics look similar to last year. Smart glasses are of course the AR modality that will unlock the technology’s true potential. AR glasses have already arrived if you consider deployment in enterprise settings.
Where does Google fit in all of this? Besides financial incentive to future-proof its core search business with next-generation visual interfaces — per our ongoing “ follow the money ” exercise — Google’s actual moves triangulate an IoP play. That includes its “search what you see” Google Lens , and Live View 3D navigation.
The app uses content from Wikipedia and Google Earth to create interactive and educational self-guided tours of just about anywhere. The experience is built around realistic physics and virtual recreations of real golf courses. That’s true literally – the game recently released a course based on the fantasy film Labyrinth.
A fter launching in 2017, Google’s ARCore has been relatively quiet. Google reports this week that ARCore has surpassed one billion installs. This refers to the Google Play Services for AR app in Google’s Play Store. That’s just a thought exercise of course. Play with the formula.
Where does Google fit in all of this? Besides financial incentive to future-proof its core search business with next-generation visual interfaces — per our ongoing “ follow the money ” exercise — Google’s actual moves triangulate an IoP play. These visions often trace back to their core businesses.
Well, yes… but for now it seems the company imagines there’s enough room for specialized headsets from its partners—like different headsets for gaming, exercise, or work—without too much overlap. This is ironic, of course, because Meta’s Horizon OS itself is based on the open source version of Android.
We kind of thought about a mashup of futuristic exercises and a mid-century style gym.”. Modeled after a physical gym for your body, the Mind Gym is composed of over 60 different mental exercises, arranged from warm-ups, to “special equipment,” to cool-downs. Take a Mindfulness Course With Rendever.
Like in our ongoing “ follow the money ” exercise, they’re each building wearables strategies that support or future-proof core businesses where tens of billions in annual revenues are at stake. After examining Amazon , Microsoft , and Google , it’s time to zero in on Bose. Head Start.
Do you know Google Spotlight Stories? It is a small R&D lab on creative projects hosted by Google that is focused on creating original VR storytelling experiences. The 16 experiences developed so far by the Google Spotlight Stories team. Back To The Moon is the first virtual reality doodle of Google’s history.
Whether you need to spice up your presentation, make a training exercise or simulation come to life, or enhance a game – modern VR creation tools allow you to dive into the world of VR development, minus the years of specialized schooling. The Varwin software interface is based on Google’s Blockly visual language.
across Google’s display ad network. Of course, mileage will vary and you can play with the formula inputs above. The above ad revenue exercise is also framed in today’s ad market standards. This effectively precludes any meaningful ad revenue. Emerging and high-performance media tend to fetch higher CPMs.
The company hasn’t been dormant, since then, of course. MultiBrush is a multiplayer version of Tilt Brush that Neumann created after Google open-sourced the original software. The ideas of exercise and fitness in senior living are a little dated,” said Rand. Fun needs to be involved.
While the Google Daydream store may be lacking in content, the inclusion of “WorldSense” technology adds a considerable amount of immersion when compared to the Oculus Go’s 3DoF offerings. Of course we can’t talk about standalone VR without bringing up the HTC Vive Focus.
Google VR SDK is popular for building virtual reality applications for Android and iOS. WebVR is also becoming a formidable force for those who love HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard, in a web browser. Those wishing to receive a certificate at the end of the course can pay $29.
Speaking of Apple, it will further exercise this training-wheels approach in the ways described in prediction #1. This includes most notably visual search ( Google Lens ) and navigation ( Google Live View ). Of course all of the above is speculative and based on market signals we’re tracking closely.
across Google’s display ad network. Of course, mileage will vary and you can play with the formula inputs above. The above ad revenue exercise is also framed in today’s ad marketplace terms. This effectively precludes any meaningful ad revenue. Emerging and high-performance media tend to fetch higher CPMs.
But exercise need not be a plodding bore that introduces you to risky elements such as ‘fresh air’ and ‘sunlight’; you can get an excellent workout inside your VR headset too. Paulo’s Wing is more than just a wave-based combat game made inside Google’s Tilt Brush; it’s also utterly exhausting.
It contains six courses from Lee Assam, an electrical and software engineer with a Master's in Computer Science and a passion for IoT, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. You’ll learn by completing hands-on practice exercises. A hands-on, project-based Arduino course will have you build 15 different projects to get a grip on it.
AR Insider’s ongoing coverage of The AR Show episodes is an exercise in deconstructing and synthesizing the musings of spatial computing’s top minds. This “ follow the money ” exercise is a key AR confidence signal. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Snap and Qualcomm are all making significant investments.”
Last week, Google teased its latest AR glasses?—?a The first was of course the ill-fated Google Glass which, in fairness, had a fruitful second life in the enterprise. Macro factors have changed, leading Google back to the consumer AR well. But the other factor that’s different about Google’s latest AR tease is focus.
Among tech’s big five — Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook — all but Facebook have crossed the mark. Of course, the same was said in past tech cycles which saw incumbents get old, slow and succumb to innovator’s dilemma. For example, Google is developing visual search as an alternate front-end modality to boost query volume.
Picking up where we left off with Apple’s and Google’s respective hearables strategies, how does Bose compare? With Apple and Google out of the way, we’ll now tackle Bose. Then there’s Golfshot which provides strategic information to approach the green on a given Golf course. Audio AR will be the same.
Nothing against exercise or even filling up some of my precious house space with a large and expensive stationary bike. The answer was "no," of course. But structured, hosted exercise time isn't what I want when I climb on a machine like this. In fact, the report notes that Peloton's video game, Lanebreak , is powered by Google.
The day consisted of a series of talks (links to slides are available in the speakers section near the end of this post) and brainstorming exercises revolved around the problem statement above. Over the course of 8 hours, sticky notes spread everywhere in the room. Hundreds of sticky notes later.
That makes the exercise of stepping back to look at the big picture valuable for perspective. As he outlined at AWE in May (video below), past innovation cycles can inform the course and pace of spatial computing. “Without HTML, there is no Google. Speakers’ opinions are their own. It’s all about converging tech. “AR
In fact, he cycled the entire length of the UK over the course of this dreary, dismal winter season and beyond. To do this, he was using an inexpensive bluetooth cadence monitor paired with his exercise bike and Samsung’s Gear VR, running his own app named CycleVR. Well, he sort of did. Now, Puzey says he has actually done it.
Another well known AR app is Google SkyMap. They also might discover some valuable information about the course, faculties, or students, which could lead to prompt communication. For instance, there was a case when a Canadian Tech company CASE turned the wall of a school exercise room into a ball game by adding an AR layer to it.
You can Google “5G” along with any other hot technology in the same query and you can find someone telling you that somehow and at some point 5G is going to revolutionize that thing. I just did this exercise and saw 10ms of latency to a server in my city and 35ms to a server that’s three states over. 5G + Biotech.
The document is divided into nine parts: I will report them here, as a small summary of mine, together with the full text translated with Google Translate (so, RIP English), if you want to read it. In the future, we will be surrounded by virtual objects and, of course, there will be some companies that will provide them to us.
Well, the top news of the week is, of course, the Oculus Connect 6. Google is doing it again. It is not clear what is the destiny of the VR 180 format, especially because Google declined to comment on the topic. The software also provides statistics to the user, that can so see how much he/she is exercising well in VR.
For example: Text-Based Apps like ChatGPT or Google Gemini – As mentioned, they can help with any tasks that involve writing. AI Voice Assistants – Amazon Alexa and Google Siri, among others, can help by managing calendars, controlling smart home devices, planning journeys and interacting with other apps and services on your behalf.
On top of this, many of the online learning platforms are swiftly adding generative AI functionality in order to create personalized learning experiences and streamline the process of course creation. So here’s a look at some of the best tools I’ve come across that are tailored for use by learners and educators.

Of course, smart scales will also tell you your weight. This means you can track things like body fat and muscle mass over time, and most scales and their apps are compatible with other fitness apps like Fitbit, Apple Health, and Google Fit, so you can sync your data where you're already tracking other fitness goals.
There were professionals from Singularity University, VR for Good, Oculus, Vive, Verizon, and Google; there were premium content producers (for headsets and projection domes), artists, dancers, and documentarians; there were computer scientists, academicians, librarians, and consciousness hackers.
Of course, not everyone wants to—or can—be on their feet for long periods, and plenty of immersive entertainment, like watching movies, is sedentary. But despite the option to “jack in” in the distant future, plenty of people will still opt to use the treadmill and haptics combo for the exercise benefits.
These convos quickly found their way into a Google doc, where we could word vomit everything we were feeling on any given day. An excerpt from our Google doc (I highlighted the phrases in green that spoke to me the most) Our thoughts took shape as images, too. I Wake Up, I Go Online” Our mantra of existence.
I had more cooking videos, way more exercise content, well, random stuff. Or it's an ad for veterinary or animal health care of some sort, which I'm sure is a result of my many Google searches about my oft-sick puppy's symptoms. Of course the algos would pick that up immediately. Speaking of Henry, here are more pictures.
Those known to be taking part include Google, Microsoft, LG, Sony, ASUS, Garmin, Panasonic, Nvidia, Intel, Hisense, JBL, and AMD. This is a collaborative smart home device standard backed by more than 500 tech companies, including leaders in the field like Amazon, Google, and Apple.
We talk a lot about the business use cases of XR on this podcast, but any good business comes with a great fitness plan or exercise room. You talked about exercising in VR. Give us some examples of some of the ways people are using VR to exercise. You were talking about exercise and fitness. There’s so many.
