I’m back to telling you about some hands-on sessions I had at AWE in Santa Clara, California. And today there are a two I’m sure you will find interesting… XTAL 3 Presentation of XTAL 3 headset One thing I’m very happy about having tried at AWE is the XTAL 3 headset by Vrgineers. I was very curious to try this device since when I read its hands-on by Upload VR, in which David Heaney claimed it was the first wide FOV headset without peripheral distortions he had tried.
Recently, TRIPP PsyAssist completed its Phase 1 Feasibility Study to demonstrate its use as a pretreatment tool for patients undergoing ketamine therapy.

Much ink has been spilled over Apple Vision Pro. its price tag. it's superior specs. its potential 'halo effect' on AR. One angle less discussed is what it could do for education, which is an Apple tradition. We examine the evidence. 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.
The art of folding paper could be the key to unlocking more realistic VR experiences. A group of researchers based out of Westlake University in China has developed a device that can improve the realism and fidelity of objects in VR using an approach inspired by origami, the art of paper folding to create 3D figures and shapes. Hanqing Jiang, who was a part of the research team, learned about a form of origami called curved origami (or curved crease origami) while at Arizona State University
Masterpiece Studio, the developers behind the titular PC VR creative suite, released a new version of its software built natively for Quest 2, something its creators hope will appeal to people looking for an easy way to make models, avatars, and other 3D assets.

AR ad spend is projected to reach $3.5 billion this year. It has good momentum and brand adoption but it's still a tiny portion of overall ad spend. What does that look like today and how will it gain share? This post appeared first on AR Insider.
Time for some good old-fashioned good cop, bad cop. Earlier this week, indie game developer Prologue XR released the latest episode for its interactive true crime app, CrimeTrip. Available now on iOS & Android devices, The Heist of the Century uses Chat-GPT to immerse you in realistic interrogations powered by conversational artificial intelligence (AI).
Apple has released new and updated tools for developers to begin building XR apps on Apple Vision Pro. Apple Vision Pro isn’t due out until early 2024, but the company wants developers to get a jump-start on building apps for the new headset. To that end the company announced today it has released the visionOS SDK, updated Xcode, Simulator, and Reality Composer Pro, which developers can get access to at the Vision OS developer website.

Apple unveiled its first mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 5, 2023. The company’s “first spatial computer” will enable users to interact with digital content like never before by leveraging a new 3D interface to deliver immersive spatial experiences. The Vision Pro marks a new era for immersive technologies, and it can potentially be used to bolster efforts in using such technologies to improve communities.

VRScout attended the international event to review the best of the immersive works 2023’s selection had to offer. With an ever-inclusive understanding of “immersive,” Tribeca Film Festival continues on as one of many mainstream and pillar events opening its doors and minds to evolved emerging technologies, even outside of XR. 2023’s curation rooted itself in telling a larger story of marginalized and overlooked individuals, including polished titles such as Black Lands and Colored.
Apple has confirmed that Safari on Vision Pro will support WebXR, a web-standard that allows immersive experiences to be delivered through the browser. In a somewhat surprising move, Apple confirmed that Safari on Vision Pro will support WebXR. Prior to the reveal of the headset, it was an open question whether the company would entertain the idea of XR experiences through the browser, and even more so if the company would adopt the relatively new WebXR standard.

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.
This year is the 70th annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The event takes place in the iconic town in the south of France but why should a festival of creativity not also take place in the virtual world?

Amid mounting pressure from Sony with the recent launch of its PSVR 2 headset for PlayStation 5, Microsoft again affirmed that it’s still waiting for the technology to mature before offering any sort of dedicated VR software or hardware for Xbox. Xbox’s lack of VR strategy has been a long ongoing story , reaching back to when the company first announced at E3 2016 that its Xbox One X console would “lead the industry into a future in which true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR are the s
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.
It seems like just yesterday it was the AR this, VR that, metaverse, metaverse, metaverse. Now all anyone can talk about is artificial intelligence. Is that a bad sign for XR? Some people seem to think so. However, people in the XR industry understand that it’s not a competition. In fact, artificial intelligence has a huge role to play in building and experiencing XR content – and it’s been part of high-level metaverse discussions for a very long time.
This week on Reality Bytes, we virtually try on Google’s new AI, discuss Meta’s “too dangerous to be released” Voicebox, and jump into Fortnite's groundbreaking collaboration. This post appeared first on AR Insider.
A SteamVR release is also on the way according to the developer. Earlier this week, VR developer ForeVR Games announced that its VR cornhole simulator ForeVR Cornhole will be going free-to-play on Meta Quest headsets later this month as part of the new “Freedom Update.” Originally released back in September 2022, this immersive sports experience features realistic beanbag physics, private and public multiplayer, unique environments, and a variety of bags and boards.
One thing that didn’t get much attention during the announcement of Apple Vision Pro is the headset’s modular design. With straightforward connections and magnetic mounting, the company’s robust ecosystem of third-party accessory makers will no doubt be scurrying to offer options. In a, perhaps surprising, move Apple built Vision Pro with modularity in mind.

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?
Unity partnered with the Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA) this month to deploy large-scale enterprise-grade digital twins to ensure success in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) use cases. Unity, a leading provider of RT3D engine development tools, is supplying the aviation firm with “dynamic virtual copies” of the VA’s physical assets, processes, systems, and environments.
Bigscreen Beyond is now in production, the company announced. Beyond is an ultra-compact and ultra-light SteamVR headset designed to enable truly comfortable long duration PC-based VR sessions. The key drivers of its tiny size and light weight are the use of OLED microdisplays and the fact that each unit is customized for the buyer's face and eyes instead of being adjustable, based on an iPhone 3D face scan.
