Artec 3D bridges the gap between the Milky Way and the metaverse with instant 3D capture and machine learning algorithms. A quick survey of virtual avatars reveals that multiplayer games with Picasso-like figures are still humanly identifiable through familiar kinetic traits from IRL encounters. In the mix, high-grade non-player characters (NPCs) are still working their way towards being our best mates, but nifty scanners may soon blur the line between human beings and NPCs. .

It's a good sign for any emerging technology when one of the leaders of an industry adopts it. So when Mastercard, a brand so recognizable that it dropped its name from its logo at CES last year, decides to develop a mobile augmented reality app, the moment is a milestone for the AR industry.

Pimax reveals a new lineup of VR headsets, the most affordable of which coming in at under $500. When Pimax announced its state-of-the-art VR headset back in 2017, users were blown away by the 200-degree FOV, 8K resolution, and custom knuckle motion controllers. As a result, the Pimax 8K also came with a whopping $1,200 price tag, which put the high powered VR headset out of reach for most average consumers.

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.

This week at CES 2020, China-based Jade Bird Display (JBD) revealed its latest portfolio of micro LED displays which the company is positioning as an ideal fit for AR and VR devices. Among the company’s miniscule displays is a one that’s smaller than a penny but capable of a blinding 3,000,000 nits. Founded in 2015, JBD has been working to commercialize micro LED display technology.

Korea-based TEGway , developers of a haptic accessory which generates hot and cold temperatures with impressively low latency, plans to launch a wearable VR thermal haptic dev kit aim in March. We got to try the latest prototype this week at CES 2020. We first got our hands on an early prototype of Tegway’s impressive ‘ThermoReal’ hatpics tech back in 2017 ; it was the first demo that really convinced me of the value of thermal haptics.

Switzerland-based CREAL is developing a light-field display which it believes will fit into VR headsets and eventually AR glasses. An earlier tech demo showed impressive fundamentals, and this week at CES 2020 the company revealed its progress toward shrinking its tech toward a practical size. Co-founded by former CERN engineers, CREAL is building a display that’s unlike anything in AR or VR headsets on the market today.

One of the most exciting new developments in augmented reality last year has been the growth of WebAR. WebAR refers to augmented reality that can be accessed from a web browser, enabling a much more seamless user journey from scan to experience. The technology has gained significant traction already with awesome new campaigns popping up in mainstream contexts.

VRLEO is a company based in Los Angles and Shanghai that’s looking to shake up the out-of-home VR scene with its arcade kiosks. At CES this week we got a chance to go hands on with the company’s flagship product, the LEO cabinet system , which includes a few novel technologies that aim to give it an edge over the competition. These sorts of VR kiosk systems aren’t exactly new in principle; we’ve seen VR arcade cabinets as early as 2018 promising ‘fully-automatedR

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.
