It’s Monday again, so it’s time for a new roundup of the coolest AR and VR news of the week! But before digging into the news, let me invite you all to the latest work that we of VRrOOm have developed: a new social XR immersive music experience from the French legendary composer Jean-Michel Jarre! It is called Oxymore, and the tickets to enjoy it are free, but limited.
VR mods bring the popular VR game to life in a whole new light. I know what you’re thinking: “another story about Skyrim ? Really?” Bethesda’s seemingly unkillable fantasy RPG was first released back in 2011 for PC and consoles and has since been ported to every platform known to man, including VR. So what more could we possibly have to talk about?
The future of the metaverse continues to be a hot topic of conversation amongst tech developers, virtual reality users, and an increasingly digital native population. As we move further towards engaging with a completely virtual online world, tech giants such as Meta and Microsoft continue to lead the way. The question is, what exactly can we expect from the metaverse.
AR is finding all kinds of use cases and points of value – from immersive shopping to enterprise productivity. But what about education and immersive learning? We examine the ways it can add value to the classroom. This post appeared first on AR Insider.

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.
Some days ago, I have finally finished playing Resident Evil 4 VR on my Oculus Quest 2 , and I thought you may be interested in a review of mine. I know, the game is two months old now, but when it came out I was swamped with work to do, so I kept it as my Christmas gift, and I played it during the winter holidays. So I will write the review just now that you have already probably read the other ones, or maybe you have already played the game, but hey, it’s always cool reading an article a
Insiders claim the device resembles a pair of ski goggles and will launch in 2024. According to The Verge , Google is currently in development of its own AR device capable of blending virtual graphics over the real world, citing “two people familiar with the project.” Similar to Snap’s Spectacles 3 glasses, Google’s device will supposedly feature two outward-facing cameras capable of projecting digital graphics over the wearer’s real-world environment.

We had a lot of news in the XR space in 2021, and a lot of trends could be distilled from that news. Trends around VR adoption, opensource, low and no-code development. However, some of the most exciting trends are all around AR glasses. See Also: 21 Most-Read ARPost Articles of 2021. It’s been said before, but (probably) not by me: this could be the year that we see consumer AR glasses start to break into the mainstream.

It provides users with a more immersive way of engaging with and searching for information. It also has an immense potential to transform businesses for both customers and employees. Simply put, it’s the next big step for augmented reality.
Though the metaverse is years from materializing, 3D content – and the tools to create it – are key building blocks. Better yet, 3D content is finding pre-metaverse value in social lenses and camera commerce. We examine the latest action. This post appeared first on AR Insider.

Google Earth VR is a fun and useful way of seeing the world—it’s easy to lose yourself visiting your home town, or mapping out new adventures thanks to the company’s extensive 3D building scans. Unfortunately Google Earth VR is a PC VR only app, meaning it doesn’t work natively on Quest. That’s not set to change anytime soon, although a third-party Quest app is looking to offer up much of the magic of Earth VR while also making it a multiplayer experience.
Looks like we might have to wait just a little while longer for the company’s combination VR/AR headset. According to a new report by Bloomberg , Apple’s long-rumored VR/AR headset could be delayed until 2023 due to a combination of technical issues, citing “people familiar with the situation.” Sources claim the device was scheduled to be announced during the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June followed by an official launch later this year.

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?
