In the VR communities, there is a lot of curiosity for a new standalone headset that is probably the first Linux-based VR headset. It is called Simula One , and it wants to offer professionals a new way to use Linux , giving them an incredible workspace powered by virtual reality. I think it’s an interesting project, so I asked for an interview with SimulaVR CEO, George Singer, and I had the pleasure of asking him some questions about his company and this new headset.
The metaverse will supposedly play a central role in the South Korean economy. It’s hard to ignore the growing rise of South Korean media and culture in Western countries.

When we talk about AR and e-commerce, we’re usually talking about virtual try-on. A lot of shoppers are all about virtual try-on, but these experiences are often separated from one another by virtue of being created by different brands.

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.
Beat Saber is getting a good slice of new mechanics soon that aim to change up the game’s feel by introducing some long-awaited block styles that may just make you a more stylish player.

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.
Some days, it feels like we’re all living in a science fiction novel, though more dystopian than utopian. Between a global pandemic, Russian saber-rattling on the Ukraine border, and climate change challenges, you’d be forgiven for despairing about the state of the world. And yet, there is more peace in the world than war, extreme poverty is on the wane in most parts of the planet, and we’ve made incredible progress against childhood mortality.

Wanderer is a VR adventure game that puts you in the shoes of a hapless time traveler who finds himself trapped in an alternate history—one that starts (and possibly ends) in worldwide disaster. Wanderer excels with its smorgasbord of interesting puzzles that do very little hand-holding. Its fun and well-designed set pieces play as an immersive backdrop to an engrossing story, all of which hopefully distract you from its particularly clunky level of object interaction.
Vegas’ latest attraction is an extended reality experience built from upcycled materials. As history has shown us, it’s tough getting people to care about the environment. What should be a universal issue has slowly devolved into a hot-button topic for many. That said, there are still good people out here working to raise awareness around the increasingly troublesome situation we find ourselves in.

Shadowlands scenes from the new World of Warcraft expansion. (Image courtesy World of Warcraft.). Microsoft ‘s purchasing of Activision Blizzard was the largest sale in the history of video games at US$68.7 billion dollars making the company the third largest gaming company after Sony and Tencent.

Australia-based Studio Alta, the developer behind A Township Tale , today announced it has raised a $12.4 million seed investment to expand its studio and accelerate development of the game. Studio Alta had been quietly developing its brilliant co-op focused VR game A Township Tale for years on PC as a small indie team. Though it was loved by many who played it, the title remained something of a sleeper, likely due in part to the fact that the studio has only ever distributed it independently r
Each boot is equipped with motorized wheels that gently reposition the wearer away from danger. What if you could walk an infinite distance in VR from the comfort of your own home? And I mean physically walk. Where would you go? What would you do? For years the idea of exploring an infinite space from a living room was that of science fiction; a colorful idea of what the future could hold.

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?
