While the technology companies continue to drive forward with autonomous vehicles, Nissan's vision of the future of self-driving automobiles lies in a cooperative experience between human and machine, facilitated by augmented reality. At CES 2019, which officially kicks off this week, Nissan will present its in-car augmented reality concept, dubbed Invisible-to-Visible (I2V), via an interactive 3D experience at its booth in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Valve’s monthly Steam Survey has long offered some useful insight into which headsets are actively connected to users computers and the share of the Steam population that’s using each, but the figures provided are relative to the non-static Steam population, which obfuscates the actual adoption trend of VR headsets on the platform. To demystify the data, Road to VR has created a model which derives actual headset counts by correcting for Steam’s changing population.
Brain surgery can be a terrifying process; this VR tour of your brain could help ease anxiety.

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.
Limbix is building up immersive content that therapists can use to treat phobias, depression and anxiety.

VR could drastically effect how researchers study cancer. Doctors at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK) are creating a new virtual lab that will build use VR to build 3D models of tumor samples, providing a new way to look at cancer. The researchers start by studying a tumor tissue biopsy – the researchers have started by looking at breast cancer – which is then sliced wafer-thin and stained with markers, like what would normally be examined under a standard microscope
Blasters, bots, brain teasers & board games.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
Colin Farrell narrates this three-part animated adventure from the team at Atlas V.

A team of researchers bring 2D photos to life with automatic 3D animations. As AR technology continues to develop from past its current state of infancy, one of its most popular use-cases so far has been the digital enhancement of real-world images. Through the use of various techniques, such as hidden AR markers – which, when scanned with a smart devices camera activates a supplementary augmented experience – everyone from artists to corporations have been utilizing the technology t
I had the great opportunity to interview Tomáš Marian?ík, better known in the VR communities as Frooxius. He has always been a great innovator and I admire his work since the good old Oculus DK 2 times, when he published “Sightline: The Chair” Now he is continuing this innovation work by building a completely open metaverse called Neos , where thanks to object modeling and scripting, it is possible to create everything you want.
NYT app simulates a Higgs particle reaction using AR technology. Since its initial development during the mid 1960’s, the Large Hadron Collider has remained one of the most impressive scientific and technological achievements in human history. A unique microscope device featuring a 17-mile electromagnetic racetrack located roughly 164 to 574 ft below the surface of the French-Swiss countryside in Geneva, Switzerland, the revolutionary machine is capable of whipping subatomic particles into one a
