One of my highlights of AWE has been for sure Ultraleap’s booth. Not only because they are very nice people it’s always great to hang out with, but because their use of “event cameras” for tracking hand movements completely surprised me.

The 2D to 3D photo conversion feature coming to Vision Pro in VisionOS 2.0 makes a novel capability meaningful for the first time. Cue “Apple didn’t even do it first!” in the comments. You’re not wrong. There’s been seemingly a hundred different startups over the years that have promised to turn 2D photos into 3D. Even Meta had a go at it when it added 2D to 3D photo conversion to Facebook several years ago.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Sony is getting ready to release tethered PC VR support for PSVR 2 this summer, but that may be one the last meaningful things the company does for its increasingly latchkey VR hardware. According to a report by Android Central ‘s Nicholas Sutrich, Sony isn’t leaving any budget for first-party content.

In Mark Gurman's latest report he claims Apple is "considering" making the upcoming non-Pro Vision headset "reliant on a tethered Mac or iPhone". But does powering a Vision headset with an iPhone really make sense? Gurman has a very strong track record when it comes to reporting Apple's moves in advance, and he even revealed many details of Vision Pro before it was officially revealed or even acknowledged to exist by Apple.

A VR developer made a very interesting discovery about how Apple Vision Pro sets its cooling fan speed, and thus thermal-based performance limits. As the computational load increases, processors heat up. Eventually a thermal limit will be reached at which point the processor must intentionally reduce its peak performance to continue functioning, or shut down.

Riven, like the groundbreaking Myst that came before it, definitely has an air of grandiosity when you first play, and not just because it takes 4-5 minutes of loading and unskippable boot sequences to reach the title screen on Quest 2. When you first load that iconic original adventure, beyond an opening cutscene more for flavor than guidance, you’re left to explore the vast emptiness and mystery of the game’s setting without as much as a tutorial or hint of where to start.
