Void Room’s procedurally generated rogue-like shooter is now available to sideload on Quest. Tea For God , a prototype VR experience from developer Void Room , uses a combination of procedural generation and non-euclidean geometry to create infinite VR playspaces that would normally be impossible to create in real-life. Put simply, Tea For God maximizes your designated playspace by creating randomized levels that fit within the confines of your established boundaries, allowing you to physically

Long before the HoloLens or the Magic Leap One, a California-based team of independent filmmakers envisioned what the future of augmented reality might look like.

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.

If picking out a car off a lot is like picking out a handful of eggs from a basket, then assembling your perfect vehicle – fine-tuned to your specifications, BY you – is like picking out a few hundred grains of sand from the Sahara desert. At least, that’s how ZeroLight’s Barry Hoffman sees it. Hoffman shares this with Alan, and other philosophies about XR as a great asset to the automotive industry.

The Cupertino-based tech giant may be pumping the brakes on its long-rumored Apple AR headset , something that was reportedly slated to see a release as early as 2020. A DigiTimes Taiwan report (via MacRumors ) now suggests that Apple has disbanded the team behind it, effectively putting its consumer AR device on hold. DigiTimes cites “people familiar with the situation,” saying that the team was disbanded back in May, and its members reassigned to other divisions within the company

They have been so kind to set up a demo just for me in Beijing (the company is from Shenzhen) to let me try their product and have a chat about it, and I really want to thank them for their kindness and the time they spent with me.

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.

Last month’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) featured not one but two virtual reality (VR) stealth experiences. One was nDream’s kayak themed title Phantom: Covert Ops and the other was a far more traditional style stealth adventure called Espire 1: VR Operative. Created by Australian developer Digital Lode and being published by Killing Floor: Incursion studio Tripwire Interactive, it’s fair to say Espire 1: VR Operative could be one of the standout summer releases.

Cross-platform gaming between standard PC and virtual reality (VR) headsets is becoming much more commonplace thanks to titles like Detached and Vox Machinae. But that’s starting to expand into the augmented reality (AR) realm with videogames like BOT-NET adding this kind of cross-gameplay functionality later this year. For those after this sooner, developer SCRNPRNT will be releasing DUSTNET next week.
