I am very fascinated by the idea of augmented reality lenses, so as soon as I saw they had a private demo room, I ran towards its door begging for a demo. They looked at me like a crazy guy addicted to XR, but in the end, they were very kind and gave me the possibility of trying the public demos of their products.
To make things worse, the demo conditions were also terrible because of the poor network and the many interferences at the event venue. To make things funnier, to shield the wireless streaming of this product from the network interferences of the show floor, Pimax constructed a sort of metallic cage where we had to make the demo.
The one hour visit will include a VR demo, tour, and meet-and-greet at the companies’ home-base in Bellevue, Washington. The post Willy Wonka-Style Tour Of Valve HQ Includes Half-Life: Alyx Demo appeared first on VRScout. Image Credit: Valve Corporation, Charitybuzz.
“I tried we had a conversation with the powers that be at Id Software, and I even offered to personally guarantee a million dollars in sales if they would allow Team Beef to sell full versions of the classic titles officially on the store,” Carmack says in an X post.
For the last few years, Campfire 3D has been expanding the world of “holographic collaboration” with a custom headset and base station as well as software that works in headset-based mixed reality and virtual reality, mobile-based augmented reality, and now on desktop 3D.
The post Meta’s New Demo Shows Players & Devs What Compelling MR Can Look Like appeared first on Road to VR. Meta now has three mixed reality headsets, but still not a ton of mixed reality content to go with it. Still, it’s difficult to knock developers for not going all-in on mixed reality content.
Meta Platforms unveiled last week the latest iteration of its hand-tracking technologies as a demo for developers, allowing users to explore virtual worlds with their hands rather than physical controllers.
The company says funding will support its efforts to accelerate adoption of its XR hardware and software solutions for industrial applications, with CEO Timo Toikkanen noting Varjo will leverage AI and machine learning to further integrate real and virtual environments, enhancing productivity and efficiency for its industrial clients.
Apple will soon allow users to upload their own spatial videos to Vision Pro demo units in hopes to really drive home the headset’s value proposition. When it comes to plonking down $3,500 for Vision Pro, seeing truly is believing, as anyone who wants to buy Apple’s first mixed reality headset can sign up for an in-store demo.
On the other, the system’s stylus-ring controller combo was very poorly tracked during our demo, and the content shown wasn’t well optimized for its internal Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2chipset. Here’s the short of it:on one hand, the headset’s ergonomics, flip-up design, and display clarity were all great.
So no demos beyond those early, closed door hands-ons allowed last month.Check out the video below, courtesy of The Verge : Drawing design and software cues from Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro, the device features a rigid strap, eye-tracking, pancake lenses, and ergonomic design, which wethought was pretty close to Quest Pro in terms of comfort.
However, Meskill also had a lot to say about the software, including one potentially unforeseen change. Demos on the AWE floor included more intimate recordings and video calls with loved ones, as well as a game built for 2D but ported in through a Unity SDK. The article outline was supposed to go straight from demos to panels.
Meta’s hand-tracking has improved by leaps and bounds since we first saw it on the original Quest in 2019, but as Apple serves up stiff competition with its upcoming Vision Pro mixed reality headset , Meta tossed out a new hand-tracking demo that shows off the benefits of its latest software update.
However, this new update will make the experience far more intuitive, eliminating the need for additional apps and software. You could either tether your headset directly to your computer using Air Link , access Windows through a Remote Desktop via the Meta Horizon Workrooms app, or use third-party software.
The software allows an on-site user with a LiDAR-enabled smart device and a remote user on a standard computer to have a real-time interactive video call. You’re not drawing something that floats on my video, you’re reaching into my video,” CEO Adrian Hatch said in a recent interview and product demo.
In the remainder of the article, I will explain to you what it does mean and I will also tell you about my experience with a live demo of this prototype. software developers, hardware designers, etc…) but also people that come from a medical background (e.g. Software System. Are you excited like me? Mojo Vision.
Because we were part of Oculus for Business as an ISV [Independent Software Vendor], our relationship has deepened and we have co-authored multiple case studies together, including for Nimbus and Novartis ,” Nanome co-founder and CEO Steve McCloskey told ARPost. Suppose I want to go back and watch our demo again.
Luckily, Apple has a great track record of improving products for years through software updates, and Vision Pro isn’t likely to be an exception. It’s there where we expect the company will reveal details of its first major software update to the headset’s VisionOS operating system.
After receiving an invite by email, I made a booking for a demo session at the London leg of the Pimax Global Roadshow which was taking place on Wednesday 5 th June. Before my demo it was time for a quick look at the new headset, to see what had changed compared to the original Crystal. Library entrance (Image by R. Cole and S.
Leap Motion has born as a solution for PC, but now Ultraleap software works both on Windows PCs and on Android VR systems, thanks to the integration inside the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 platform. Ultraleap hardware+software solution is already integrated into high-quality VR headsets like Varjo XR-3 and the upcoming Lynx R1.
That said, all our headsets share a lot of the same core technology, from software to hardware. A: The Crystal Super is ready to be demoed at CES 2025, especially the QLED 57 PPD optical engine which is shipping at the end of January. All headsets are focussed firmly on PCVR. We have learned from the past (e.g.
So we reached out to Lynx to ask for a demo and they invited us to come over. One half of the office had desks where the software was tested, the other half of the room was full of hardware. I tried an AR color passthrough demo that showed off the hand tracking. In this article, I’ll share a summary of my impressions.
I have just returned back home to Turin (Italy) after my trip to Laval and Paris, and as usual when I attend an event, here I am reporting to you the impressions of some of the hardware and software I have tried there. The first demo with the suit was a test application showing you the haptic sensations. Hands-on impressions.
The release includes a demo experience showcasing how hand-tracking can be used as a primary input for a standalone XR device. Ultraleap today publicly released ‘Gemini’, the company’s fifth-generation hand-tracking software which was initially made available in a developer preview earlier this year.
Luckily, Apple has a great track record of improving products for years through software updates, and Vision Pro isn’t likely to be an exception. That’s where we expect the company will reveal details of its first major software update to the headset’s VisionOS operating system.
But after revealing the actual design and demoing barely functional units at the September 2024 event that we attended , Immersed's founder Renji Bijoy admitted that general preorders wouldn't ship until April at the earliest.

Wingnut presented a glimpse of their work at Apple’s WWDC keynote last month, but this week BBC posted footage giving us our first look at one of the studio’s first demos, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. On stage demo at Apple’s WWDC.
Also, I have tried what is the status of the project now: there is still a lot of work to do before the release date that is set for April 2022 (even if I expect some delays), when the headset and its software ecosystem will be improved. The company is working on the software ecosystem so that it can be ready for the launch in April.
Organizations can even use software to guide new employees through simulations on how to complete certain tasks, or use specific equipment and tools. For instance, Accentures Nth floor metaverse environment gives employees a space to engage in team-building exercises and conduct product demos.
I could play a bunch of small demos made with different engines, some about gaming, some with small volumetric videos, and I think that for all of them the 3D was of good quality. At the last moment before the show floor at AWE was closed I was finally able to have a demo thanks to Karin Araman , Business Developer at Leia.
That included Valve Software, the developer of Half-Life: Alyx. References found in recent Valve software point to a “SteamVR Link Dongle,” which is increasingly expected to be a USB device to create a dedicated wireless link between the user’s PC and headset. But here’s what we know.
Companies using VR for workplace productivity can use immersive headsets and software to streamline and enhance skill development. Choose hardware and software solutions that are user-friendly, comfortable, and convenient for your team members. Make sure the software theyre using feels familiar and intuitive.
Today I attended the first demo event in search of the truth. As the time of the first demo slot approached, which I was set to be part of, none of the event staff seemed to know what was going on. The demo area was guarded by security and partially, but not fully, occluded by a black curtain. Critics claim it's a scam.
During a very impressive TEDTalk demo, Imran Chaudhri, one of the co-founders of the company Humane , gave a jaw-dropping demonstration of an artificial intelligence (AI) device that you wear on your jacket or shirt, and the tech world is buzzing. Chaundhri and Bongiorno both work together on the company’s software engineering team.
The team then used Zylia software to mirror the physical location of each of the 30 mics within the virtual space, allowing listeners to explore this space to experience the music from multiple angles, just as they would at a live venue. You can check the full performance in the video provided above.

That said, the mod does include the official free demo, allowing you to play a small portion of the single-player experience as well as multiplayer servers featuring a “DEMO” label.
During my demo I also wasn’t allowed to capture photos or videos, so we only have an official image for the time being. And then on the software side, if I had told you “please make an OS that mashes together Horizon OS and VisionOS,” and you came back to me with Android XR, I’d say you nailed the assignment.
When I first put the headset on I saw a high fidelity virtual car rendered against the real backdrop of the room as seen through the headset’s cameras—a demo I’ve seen in some form or another plenty of times in Varjo’s headsets. I got an exclusive early preview of the feature running on the Varjo XR-3 headset.
