Companies can use engines from companies like Unity to recreate digital “twins” of products, buildings, and other items, combined with information from various data sources. Using a combination of sensors and receivers, eye and hand tracking solutions allow for the creation of a powerful human-personal computer interface for XR.

The emulation tool can take these files, and spawn several rooms next to each other directly in the Unity editor. A custom tool built in Unity spawns several rooms side by side in an orthographic view, showing how a certain level in Laser Dance would look in different room layouts. Luckily the answer to that is: probably not.

Hand tracking and natural interactions coupled with well-designed haptic feedback can meet or exceed user expectations of interactive content. The hand-tracked interaction is transparent and natural, whereas the controller interaction is mediated by a metaphor delivered by the system. ? A CAD to Unity pipeline.

If you could do that in VR and can have that similar behavior that a human has inside the virtual environment, that really is cost saving for companies like Volkswagen. So somebody built a link between Unity and the Airpods, so they can turn their head, and it turns the 3D model in the screen. So let me ask you a question.

The Unity renderer implementation of foveated rendering, on the other hand is much rougher, and in multiple Unity apps I saw very obvious and harsh artifacts, particularly on text. Given this only happens in Unity Full Space apps, I suspect this can be solved in future software. The main form is hand and arm occlusion.
