FEBRUARY 9, 2015

With 2015's generation of flagship smartphones fast approaching, LG is turning to virtual reality to clear its G3 inventory. VR for G3 is a Google Cardboard-inspired virtual reality headset that was custom fit to encase the phone and uses a pair of lenses to create stereoscopic imagery. The headset will utilize existing Google Cardboard software, which is navigated by using a neodymium magnet switch that works with the device's gyroscope.

At Leap Motion, we’re making VR/AR development easier with Widgets: fundamental UI building blocks for Unity. This is the final instalment of our Planetarium series. Hi, I’m Wilbur Yu! You might remember me from such webcasts as Let’s Play! Soon You Will Fly and Getting Started with VR. In this post, we’ll look at how we structured Widgets to be as accessible and comprehensive as possible.

Over the next several weeks, we’re spotlighting the top 20 3D Jam experiences chosen by the jury and community votes. These spotlights will focus on game design, interaction design, and the big ideas driving our community forward. Today’s spotlight is a double-feature, as development studio VRARlab have two games in the top 20! Hauhet is a futuristic VR puzzle game, while Paper Plane lets you fly a plane through golden rings.

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.

At Leap Motion, we’re making VR/AR development easier with Widgets: fundamental UI building blocks for Unity. This is part 5 of our Planetarium series. Daniel here again! This time around, I’ll talk a bit about how we handled integrating the UI Widgets into the data model for Planetarium , and what this means for you. The first iteration of Widgets we released to developers was cut almost directly from a set of internal interaction design experiments.
