The company’s visualization engine layers digital content over professional athletes in real-time. The NHL thought it would be a great idea to broadcast the Stanley Cup Championship games using Beyond Sports’ unique visualization engine that turns players into blocks-like avatars and I honestly don’t think I can watch a live sports game any other way moving forward.

Apple has barely mentioned augmented or virtual reality in its big keynotes lately, however at WWDC 2022 earlier this month, the company quietly released probably one of the best 3D room-mapping tools for mobile AR yet. Called RoomPlan , the ARKit Swift API uses the camera and LiDAR scanner on recent iPhones and iPads to create a 3D floor plan of a room, including key characteristics such as dimensions and types of furniture.

AR is burdened by several physical limitations, given that it's all about manipulating light. One of the most vexing challenges is the vergence accommodation conflict, which prevents up-close objects to be in focus. We break down the dynamics. 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 still-nascent AR sector hasn’t lived up to expectations. That’s mostly because it’s a lot easier to imagine use cases for “phygital” interaction than it is to execute. In reality, there are several technical challenges to get digital content to interact with physical objects realistically. But there are subcategories gaining meaningful traction, including industrial productivity and brand marketing.

Is there anything more mind-bending than the concept of time travel? It's a sci-fi staple that goes hand-in-hand with so many complex theories and possibilities that it's something of a double-edged sword in movies: the fictional possibilities are endless, but then so are those of plot holes. Despite this, there are plenty of films that have got it right — from the sacred timeline bending of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Christopher Nolan's wormhole odyssey — and we've driven a De

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?
