Bringing new worlds to life doesn’t end with bleeding-edge software – it’s also a battle with the laws of physics. With new community-created headsets appearing in Tokyo and New York , Project North Star is a compelling glimpse into the future of AR interaction. It’s also an exciting engineering challenge, with wide-FOV displays and optics that demanded a whole new calibration and distortion system.

Relax, it’s just rocket science. Students taking classes with Kosmos School can design and launch rockets in VR as a way to study physics and chemistry, but the school hopes that students will soon be able to study all of their coursework in a virtual environment. Right now, things are still small. Kosmos School is trying things out with a single class composed of just 6 students called ‘Intro to Rockets’, where students can run science experiments and work on engineering probl
