The co-founder of location-based entertainment company The VOID returns with a new wingsuit VR experience. Jumping out of an aircraft and soaring past mountains like a flying squirrel looks like an incredible experience. It’s also an incredibly dangerous one and not everyone was made for that type of ‘X-Games’ lifestyle. Thankfully, VR technology allows us to partake in new activities that would otherwise be too difficult or dangerous to experience in real-life.
Virtual reality offers 360-degree fully immersive experiences that can take the horror genre to a whole new level. It breaks conventions using a combination of images, sound, haptics, and other stimuli. In VR horror films, you are no longer passively watching a story unfold from outside of the frame. You are directly involved in it. See Also: Shaun MacGillivray Chats About IMAX and VR Movies.

In this post, I’m going to tell you how to implement hands tracking in Unity for the Vive Focus 3, how to enable it on the device, and what are its performances, also compared to the ones of the Oculus Quest 2.
T hough we spend ample time examining consumer-based AR endpoints, greater near-term impact is seen today in the enterprise. This takes many forms including camera commerce and collaboration. But the greatest area of enterprise AR impact today is in industrial settings. This includes AR visualization to support assembly and maintenance. The idea is that AR’s line-of-sight orientation can guide front-line workers.

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.

Two weeks ago, we of New Technology Walkers have launched HitMotion: Reloaded on SideQuest. This game has had a very long and interesting story (maybe one day I’ll write a long post about it), and it has lived various transitions, with the last one being from a passthrough AR game to a standard VR game. In this post I want to tell you what changes we had to apply to the game in the transition, and what were the pros and the cons of both approaches, hoping that it can be useful for other de
With fears over the COVID-19 pandemic subsiding, live concerts are returning. And Doritos wants to send music fans to a few of them via an augmented reality promotion. Dubbed "Mark Your Play," the campaign is centered on scannable posters, denoted by a Doritos chip displayed as a play button, found in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, Brighton, Cardiff, and Southampton in the UK.
Virtex wants to revolutionize the way we view live esports by replicating the IRL stadium experience in VR. The esports industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings back in 1972 when a handful of students from Standford University took part in the first reported video game tournament featuring the 1962 space combat game Spacewar! However, what began as niche competition between college students has since developed into a multi-billion dollar industry.

L ike many analyst firms, market sizing is one of the ongoing practices of AR Insider’s research arm ARtillery Intelligence. A few times per year, it goes into isolation and buries itself deep in financial modeling. The latest such exercise zeroes in on mobile AR revenues. This takes the insights and observations accumulated throughout the year and synthesizes them into hard numbers for spatial computing ( see methodology and inclusions/exclusions).
Remote collaboration company Avatour recently reached out to ARPost to announce a successful funding round.

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.
O ne prevailing misperception in the tech world is that VR has stalled out. Some have even pronounced it dead. Such sentiments reflect the backlash to VR’s circa-2016 hype cycle. It didn’t fulfill world-changing proclamations trumpeted at the time… and deserves some grief. But practically speaking, VR is doing just fine and is growing at a healthy pace for an emerging technology that faces practicality headwinds.
Spatial was on our list of AR remote work platforms. There were internal discussions about also including the platform in our list of VR collaboration platforms. The solution can present avatars in a physical space, or avatars can share a virtual space. All things considered, it’s a pretty powerful platform but it’s known primarily for its unique approach to avatars.
A new video offers a closer look at the 2021 Cadillac Escalade’s AR-powered GPS navigation system. With the recent developments in immersive technology over the past few years, AR navigation has been somewhat of a hot-button topic within the automobile industry.

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.
W elcome back to Spatial Beats. This week, we look at ads in VR, new funding rounds and Varjo’s Reality Cloud. Let’s dive in… Many words were written about Facebook testing ads inside of Resolution’s VR game Blastron this week. Interstitial ads and pre-rolls in immersive media clearly go too far, too soon. Needless to say, howls of displeasure rained down on Facebook.
What happens when a medical device company starts exploring extended reality? Really incredible things.

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?

Explore the streets of Madrid, Spain to uncover a family mystery in this interactive VR short film. 2021 has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, and I’m not just talking about the pandemic.
