Meta notes in its Ocean developer page that the supported XR features can help create solutions for sectors such as education, tourism, and real estate. Real-time 3D development services like Autodesk VRED, Blender, Godot, NVIDIA’s Omniverse, StereoKit, Unreal Engine, and Unity support OpenXR integration.”
AR is being applied in training and education, healthcare, heads-up wayfinding and navigation, tourism, retail, field service, real estate sales, design and architecture. In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. Some recent acquisitions include AltspaceVR (Microsoft), and Escher (Niantic).
The internationally available programmes help scale XR solutions for arts & entertainment, industry, tourism, retail, and more. Although, the US Army hit a roadblock in August when it slashed funding towards developing a Microsoft-powered XR training solution. What Funding and Support are Available for the Virtual Reality Industry?
Two areas where we see great potential with AR glasses are cultural tourism and education. In the design and engineering sector, particularly in automobile, architecture, and construction, 53% of businesses use AR for virtual product design and engineering, facilitated by 3D engines like Unreal Engine and Unity.
In fact, games only account for 35% of projects underway, as the rest are focused on fields like psychology and neuroscience (12%), education (7%), tourism (7% ), and architecture and real estate (6%). Currently VR First is boasting more than 50 projects in development at the labs, and not just games. image courtesy VR First.
I’ve got to try this thing called Vasco, which is a scent machine that mounts to the bottom of your VR headset that you can program — so, you program in Unity or Unreal. We’re not tied to Microsoft. I reached out, grab a cup of coffee. I smelled it, smelled like coffee. And the result is always the same.

Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. We see entertainment, therapy, home improvement, tourism, meditation, design and many other applications. Microsoft Hololens kits are shipping to developers, but are not priced for consumers yet. Others did this work themselves.
