There’s an enormous virtual feline stalking the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. This past Sunday the Carolina Panthers took on the New York Jets in their first competitive game of the 2021 season. After an intense back-and-forth, the Panthers managed to bring it home with a 19-14 victory over the Jets. Regardless of the teams’ solid performance, however, all anyone seems to be able to talk about was the virtual big cat prowling throughout the stadium.

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.
Apple Event has just finished, and in it, Apple has announced the new iPad mini, the iPhone 13 series, and the new Apple Watch Series 7. I have watched all the event for you, so let me report all the most important moments involving AR/MR that have happened there. Tim Cook’s entrance. Tim Cook has entered the stage when there was a background on the wall behind him that was the same as the last frame of the introductory video of the event.

Many years before the release of Half-Life: Alyx , a group of fans built a rudimentary Half-Life 2 VR mod which allowed the game to be played with early VR headset development kits. Unfortunately the mod eventually lost compatibility with newer hardware as the first consumer VR headsets began to hit the market. In 2017 the project was seemingly reignited with ambitions to not just update it for the latest headsets, but to remaster the game for VR more broadly; unfortunately that effort never c
During 2021's metaverse mania -- the runaway use of the latest spatial buzzword -- one voice of reason has been VC and essayist Matthew Ball. We unravel his latest insights on this week's XR Talks. The post XR Talks: Bringing Discipline to Metaverse Mania appeared first on AR Insider.
The WebXR Business Summit took place this Tuesday, September 14, in the familiar “meta-multiverse.” Put on by the same outfit that presents the Poly Awards , the summit featured dozens of industry experts in 20 talks over eight hours and streamed on several 2D social media sites as well as Hubs, ENGAGE, AltspaceVR, and other immersive environments. Topics covered in the marathon session included everything from economics to ethics.
New job listings recently posted by Google point towards potential VR streaming for the cloud gaming service. It’s been a rough year or so for Google Stadia. Originally released back in November of 2019, the cloud gaming service developed by Google failed to capture the initial attention of mainstream consumers due in large part to a lack of exclusive content and continuous connection issues.
With a rapidly changing economy, Avangrid Renewables looked to virtual reality to develop a standardized form of immersive training in order to onboard and upskill technicians faster than ever before.
Stadia, Google’s cloud-gaming company, is looking for new hires with a preference for virtual reality development experience. Stadia is Google’s cloud-gaming service which runs games on powerful computers in the cloud and then streams them to your PC, laptop, or even smartphone. The idea is to allow any device to feel like a high-end gaming PC.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.
Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) features PC VR headset support, although it’s notably missing the ability to use VR motion controllers. Now developer Asobo has signaled that VR controller support is finally coming, and is slated to land sometime in mid-November. Asobo posted its next development roadmap , which details a few of the things the studio wants to accomplish in the next few months.
Though the metaverse continues to be a nebulous (and rampantly-overused) term, there are some common definitions, concepts and principles emerging. Guest author Postonov Kirill gives his take. The post Can the Metaverse Multiply Digital Interaction? appeared first on AR Insider.
XSight has just launched its flagship product on Product Hunt. The AR app, which XSight calls “the first augmented reality social mobile app” helps users find people, places, and things of interest to them by layering contextual information over their live camera view. Meet XSight. The XSight team, operating out of Australia and Ukraine, calls their AR app a “PokèmonGo-like social app” analogous to the head-up display in Iron Man’s helmet in Marvel films.
Has technology finally gone too far? Back in 2016, Doug Keener released a free mod for 1994’s DOOM 2 that allows you to explore a virtual replica of Jerry’s iconic NYC apartment from the hit sitcom Seinfeld painstakingly brought to life using a combination of custom textures and sprites. Not only that, but you can also interact with the cast themselves, including Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, George, and Newman.
Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.
Squingle is a psychedelic indie puzzle game that’s available now on PC VR and Quest. It’s also the perfect example of a game that probably wouldn’t be allowed onto Quest’s main ‘curated’ store because it’s difficult to understand at a glance, despite being brilliantly creative and highly optimized to run at 120Hz on Quest 2.
Though Ray-Ban Stories aren't AR glasses, they're an important stepping stone towards that endpoint. To pull this off, Facebook knows it has to gradually condition users to accept faceworn tech en masse, which is baked into Stories design. We unpack strategic implications. The post Are Ray-Ban Stories AR Training Wheels? appeared first on AR Insider.
Virtual events and remote presence platform rooom has been around for a while now.

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?
Apple is hosting what promises to be its big iPhone 13 event today. While we’re once again holding out hope for that ‘one more thing’ to see if the company reveals anything about its upcoming AR or VR wearables, it seems a supply chain rumor contends that Apple’s alleged VR headset may be gearing up to sport a microOLED display with a pretty high pixel density.
