The Ghost Howls

APRIL 18, 2020

Today I was reading Upload VR, and I’ve found a very interesting article by David Heaney stating that now it is possible to use your real environment as your Oculus Quest Home environment. I immediately got excited, because this meant that the Oculus Quest has now some augmented reality functionalities! I tried this new feature, and I’ve also prepared for you a tutorial to explain to you how to activate it and some of its possible uses!

Artists can self-publish their creations online for potential buyers to view in WebAR. The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted numerous industries across the globe, including the art sector. Government-mandated lockdowns and strict social distancing protocols have resulted in the mass closure of museums and curated art galleries, making it difficult for many creators to get their artwork in front of potential buyers.

There are definitely some over-saturated subject areas when it comes to virtual reality in education. Science is by far the most common subject which developers gravitate towards I find, with themes like space and dinosaurs being recycled time and time again. I do understand the logic in focusing on these themes - they are the more “exciting” topics that are likely to have cross-over appeal beyond the education sector and into the realm of more casual users and even gamers.

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.

(Photo Credit: Empire of the Sun at Coachella shot by Robert Scoble). The rocker Neil Young taught me about analog. He showed me that humans have evolved to experience the real world and the analog waves it sprays at us from all directions and that there’s a gap when you try to experience the same through a computer. IE, virtually or digitally.
