The Latest Big XR News: Recap on Highlights from 2023 📰🌐 In this episode of #BigXRNews, Demond Cureton, Senior Journalist, XR Today, welcomes some of XR’s top analysts to talk about the latest news from across the industry 👇 #xr #ar #vr #metaverse

During my time at Cornell Tech, I immersed myself in the world of virtual reality. VR fascinates me because it sits at the intersection of technology, design, and human factors. This work is crucial as it informs and advances my journey toward becoming a human-centered software engineer. Project Heimdall, a replay system for virtual reality, was my independent research project at the XR Collaboratory. This package is invaluable for conducting VR user studies and analyzing interactions in situ. The most enjoyable part of this project was designing interactions that not only leverage the affordances of a 3D space but also feel intuitive. The video showcases all the capabilities of this replay package. #VirtualReality #HumanCenteredDesign #XR https://lnkd.in/edtaGEc4

Proud to share this new article produced for HACNUMédia around the adaptations of broadcasting in the XR era. Broadcasting is the big challenge for XR productions, whether they are "native" to headphones, or hybrid (mixed with live arts). How to find a sustainable diffusion and distribution model in a constantly evolving landscape ? Viewpoints and recommendations from those with a sharp and pertinent eye on these (r)evolutions. This article is based on a partnership with HACNUM, the French network for hybrid arts and digital cultures, which brings together over 400 players in this sector. https://lnkd.in/ePDbzV7N

Very well put together visual experience with the potential to be quite lightweight on system compute demands. Unless there is interactivity with the wall screens that portion could be successfully achieved with prerendered video that is synced or run as a single larger display. Hard to fully tell without having seen it in person how it fully works but I suspect the following: The floor while it is getting a lot of shadows from bright lights above could either be achieved with a couple of downward projectors or an led floor. The combination of real time animation generated through unreal engine (as Nolan Ether mentioned) for the floor combined with sensor data from a couple of lidar modules or potentially even lighterweight blob tracking with cameras to track people provide an update to the animation generated in unreal engine for the marshmellow deformations on the floor. Great combination of the visual floor to give a sense of interactivity but I can't tell from the video if it extends beyond the floor. Overall a solid experience. I am curious from a UI/UX perspective how viewers felt about the sudden visual acceleration of the floor. Without the feeling of movement there is a high chance of motion sickness or discomfort from the lack of matching visual and vestibular human systems. Anyone know what, if anything, Sony did to help reduce this in this experience?

Throwing it back to 2020: In this short clip, I provide a simple definition of XR (Extended Reality) to an audience of AV professionals, as one of the panelists at Integrated Systems Europe. Since 2020, especially post-pandemic, XR has come a long way in transforming how we interact with technology. It's amazing to see the progress we've made and the exciting future ahead. #Throwback #XREvolution #ISE2020 #AVProfessionals #DigitalTransformation #XRTech #BusinessGrowth
