I am still working on my full review of the Pico Neo 3 Pro , and while doing my tests on it, I have tried what is probably its most surprising feature, that is tethering to the DisplayPort port of a PC to offer a PCVR experience. Let me tell you everything about it because I think it’s super-interesting (and I don’t say this lightly). Watch the video here below where I show you everything on this DisplayPort cable, from the unboxing to the setup, to the tests in SteamVR, or keep read

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.
HTC’s lightweight VR device is designed primarily for lifestyle and light entertainment. HTC today unveiled the Vive Flow, a portable VR glasses device.

The glasses are smaller, lighter, and more wieldy than a VR headset, making it a convenient option for those seeking a more portable VR device.

Software group SAP knows that the world needs smart people. But, being smart isn’t always enough. A growing body of research shows that we need “soft skills” too. These are skills that you can’t read in a book – they have to be practiced through lived experience, or increasingly, through immersive learning experiences that simulate real-world situations.
Beyond AR shopping's benefits and brand ROI, there are other potential gains. It turns out that it's more cost-effective to produce AR assets such as 3D models than traditional product photography for eCommerce. We examine the evidence.

The SolidLight platform is capable of projecting realistic 3D “holograms” without the need for a dedicated headset. Once considered science fiction, holographic technology has evolved at a rapid pace over the last several years. Whether it be a personalized system such as the Looking Glass Portrait or more advanced experiences such as Microsoft’s multi-lingual mixed reality hologram powered by the HoloLens 2, it’s clear we’re entering a new era in immersive technolo

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.
How many times have you heard AR/VR described as “the wild west”? This technology is still new enough that there aren’t a lot of laws that explicitly govern it. Some XR experiences are covered to some degree by extant laws regarding those forms of content. However, many things that are only possible through XR just don’t have restrictions. We need an AR/VR policy.

Quest 2 was launched this week one year ago. To celebrate, Oculus has put together five discounted game bundles alongside nearly 30 other Quest games on sale. It’s hard to believe its only been a year since Quest 2 launched, but here we are. The headset first hit the market back in October 2020, and has been going strong ever since. Between then and now the headset has seen a number of major improvements , and Facebook recently introduced a new Quest 2 base model with 128GB , doubling the

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.
Augmented Reality content can exploit the possibilities that physical products have to offer in terms of brand communication. By adding a digital layer, the opportunities are limitless.

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?
A lot of researchers and manufacturers are working on innovations for virtual reality. Virtual reality has been around for a long time but so far has seen limited adoption.

Slip on your super-powered boxing gloves and punch bricks to the beat of a thumping soundtrack. There’s no denying the popularity of the VR rhythm game genre.

As a result, it can be difficult for new VR rhythm games to set themselves from the pack.
