In a previous tutorial, we were able to measure vertical surfaces such as walls, books, and monitors using ARKit 1.5. With the advent of vertical plane anchors, we can now also attach objects onto these vertical walls. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make your augmented reality app for iPads and iPhones by using ARKit. Specifically, we'll go over how we can place virtual paintings like the Mona Lisa on our walls.

Outside of the initial setup process, you don’t really need a smartphone to run Oculus Go—after all, it’s a standalone headset for a reason. And while Oculus today rolled out screen casting on Go, you may rethink that decision to leave your phone in your pocket when you show off your shiny new headset at Thanksgiving next month. Now available in beta through the Oculus mobile app, users of Oculus Go can stream a live view of VR experiences directly to your smartphone or tablet.

Among all the new Magic Leap app announcements made at the recent L.E.A.P. conference, an update to one of the company's major in-house apps went mostly unnoticed: Create 1.1. For those unfamiliar with Create, the app isn't a game or a productivity app, but more of an incredibly engaging and surprisingly fun demonstration of the capabilities of the Magic Leap One's WorldMesh mapping and spatial audio, among other things.

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.

After two years in stealth, Spatial today announced an $8 million seed investment to build out its AR/VR collaboration platform. Spatial is building an immersive workspace that allows multiple users to connect through AR and VR headsets, as well as support for non-immersive users connected by PC or phone. The app aims to turn any room into a collaborative, multi-user space with tools aimed at helping people work together even if they’re remote.

The standout feature for Samsung’s new Odyssey+ headset is its so-called “anti-SDE” display, but beyond that it appears that the headset has actually seen minor adjustments in a handful of areas. With the first Odyssey headset having poor ergonomics, we’re hoping that these adjustments will make the headset more comfortable for a wider range of users.

Hipfire Games, a Helsinki-based studio made up of ex-Supercell and Rovio developers, announced late last year that their space-based delivery game Failspace was in the making for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows VR headsets. Now the studio is accepting registration for the game’s closed alpha, which is due to start on December 3rd. The cross-platform co-op game is set aboard a sleep-looking, but ultimately breakage-prone cargo vessel—a far cry from Star Trek: Bridge Crew’s pristi

Night Night takes the audience back to the days of the youth when the night time stimulated the imagination of the scariest creatures from the thicket breaking through the window to steal them from the bed. But this time, the fear becomes real-- a clown-filled nightmare beyond your closet. You won’t receive any response no matter how loud you yell because killer clowns are prowling around.

The Pimax “8K” headset was the result of VR’s most successful Kickstarter campaign , beating out all others, including Oculus, with a whopping $4.23 million raised when the campaign concluded in November 2017. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road over the past year, with some shipping setbacks and several changes made to the final product lineup, but Pimax has now announced that pre-orders are starting today for the “8K”, “5K” Plus, and “5K”

This year’s festival in London showcased a bold range of pioneering VR content. Here are some of our favorites. Raindance is a well-established and highly-respected independent film festival, but it isn’t a particularly flashy one. However, that lack of over-the-top glamour actually suits the event very well. There’s a certain tongue-in-cheek, down-to-earth British vibe present (right down to its playfully deprecating name) that makes it feel accessible, allowing visitors to feel comfortable dis
