As virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) hardware grows in sophistication, many developers are scrambling to create content to match the evolving landscape. A famed and long-running RT3D platform is Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) by Epic Games, initially a games development service. The service also has Unity support.

Ben Lang has written a very interesting editorial on the topic, and for instance, he imagines that this may mean that all Sony-owned game studios will all start using Unreal Engine as their game engine , unifying the production processes among them all. Unreal Engine can now use your iPhone to record facial animations.

Creating a phenomenal XR experience requires the careful alignment of software and hardware solutions. Often combined with RT3D engines, photogrammetry is a technology designed to help content creators and innovators construct digital twins for the virtual environment. Edge and Cloud Computing.

Scenes captured with photogrammetry—which already look impressive even on high-end consumer hardware—take on a whole new level of breathtaking detail when seen through the Varjo headset. Some things, like fine surface textures, are revealed with stunning detail where they would be outright invisible at a more common resolution.

AR smart glasses can come with many benefits that boost the hardware market as a source of reliable workplace tools, notably small form factors, simple UIs, and accessibility. In manufacturing, around 60% of companies employ AR/XR to enhance production floor operations, allowing for virtual assistance and error reduction.

When do you think web-based XR content can reach the same high level of standalone content made with Unreal or Unity? However, that being said, Unity and Unreal are also constantly accelerating , so it’s currently hard to see a time when WebXR parallels engine-created content exactly! You work with WebXR.

It makes sense for Samsung, which is great in manufacturing hardware, to partner with Microsoft , that is doing a good job in creating a platform for XR, to compete with the other companies. It is a big showcase demo for its Unreal Engine 5, and I have to say it is pretty impressive. So no VR and even no PC, and this is a pity.
