AR is being applied in training and education, healthcare, heads-up wayfinding and navigation, tourism, retail, field service, real estate sales, design and architecture. The World Map in this world therefore isn’t a 2D street map like we have with Google Maps or Open Street Map, nor is it a 3D map with terrain and building volumes.

Above: David Holz, founder of Leap Motion, shows off hand-tracking in VR. The headset used sensors to detect my fingers, using software from Leap Motion. The Department of Defense spends up to $7 billion a year on training, and if you can train people better in VR, that saves money. R&D still to come.

This is also an answer to Lenovo Mirage Solo, that lets you directly install apps from Google Play. This resembles a lot a feature that Google was researching and that was shown by Road To VR… so it seems that sooner or later all 3 DOF controllers will become 6 DOF ones. And Vive Controllers?

Google makes Tilt Brush opensource. Google has just announced that the VR painting program Tilt Brush has been put opensource on GitHub. The bad news is that this means that Google has abandoned it.

Unlike the Lucasfilm AR headset, which uses a smartphone to power it (like the Google Daydream or the Samsung Gear VR does), the company says this concept is a standalone, self-powered headset.

In Taiwan, all western websites work and so you don’t need to set up a VPN just to use Google. It was a multiplayer training experience about work safety where I (the trainer) could do the experience in VR and all other people could watch me while I did it.

Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, Leap Motion and many others joined the ecosystem. Maybe you are on a train and can’t do so. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped. Magic Leap is not commercial yet. We wanted to provide an open alternative to walled-garden, single-device approaches.

I’ve used Google search to find all the pages with references to Del Mar in the Oculus website, and all the docs are identical to the previous versions. Google will delay the release of Chrome 81 , the one that should have included WebAR. Yes, Android, Google. Another great UX post by Leap Motion.
