Zero to Start VR Podcast: Unity development from concept to Oculus test channel
In the few days since OpenAI's board of directors removed its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, the future of the company and what it means for the race to AGI Artificial General Intelligence is anyone's guess. Joining me to put this fast moving saga into perspective is Avi Bar-Zeev founder and president of Reality Prime an independent consulting service providing world-class expertise in AR & VR design and engineering, since 1997.Avi Bar-Zeev has been at the forefront of Spatial Computing for over 30 years. He co-invented the Hololens AR headset in 2010, and led the Experience Prototyping team for Apple's Vision Pro and more from 2016 to 2019. Most recently, he is a founder and President of The XR Guild, a new non-profit membership organization that seeks to support and educate professionals in XR on ethics and most positive outcomes for humanity.However this techno drama plays out, we are approaching a threshold of computing power that was once the domain of science-fiction and fantasy. The builders are already living there. How do you think AI will impact human rights, the way we live, work or how we define what makes us unique? Let us know on the Zero to Start LinkedIn page.

We discuss new developments related to Microsoft's militarized Hololens AR technology and Tilt Five's progress toward consumer AR.We also cover Meta Quest Move syncing with Android, Unity supporting OpenXR hand tracking and Mojo Vision ceasing work on their smart contact lens.
An Augmented Reality (AR) tool for mobile devices and the Hololens AR headset has been designed to help educate farmers, stock agents and students to identify key signs of some of the most important emergency animal disease (EAD) threats to the Australian sheep industry - foot & mouth disease, bluetongue, scrapie and sheepox. The tool allows them to scan a room, paddock or any other space and place a virtual flock of sheep, identify symptoms being displayed and guess the disease. An information page is then shown describing the EAD and where to contact if they suspect they have an animal with this disease.
是否曾想過有一天如影集「超感8人組 Senses8」中的平行時空將會成真?這集邀請到目前在微軟 Microsoft 擔任 Principal Designer 的唐聖凱來與我們分享混合實境設計。聖凱背景橫跨建築工程、運算設計和人機互動,並曾就讀於 Harvard、CMU、MIT 等學校,他與我們分享一路上的學習與看見,更多的是聊聊目前在混合實境領域的有趣設計案例、AR/VR/MR的異同,各種打破你我想像的有趣體驗原來都正在發生呢!節目筆記: https://designnomads.co/podcast/ep25-ux-research-with-vr Powered by Firstory Hosting

An Augmented Reality can be understood as a digitally-produced “layer” or “display screen” interposed by specialized hardware between you and the physical world. The potential of this emerging technology to enhance the ease and quality of life is enormous, and it will affect nearly everything in the coming informational age.

Im Interview mit Maurice Sonneveld, Leiter Digital Media, erfährst du wie Hertha BSC die digitale Transformation und den Kulturwandel vorantreibt. Zudem verrät Maurice, warum der Verein in der digitalen Kommunikation auf einen Mix aus Humor und Provokation setzt und wie die Berliner durch die Installierung eines Digital Board und Kooperationen mit der Berliner Start-up-Welt anderen Vereinen einen Schritt voraus sein will.

Packed show! We distill the Windows 10 event down to what it means for Xbox, including the HoloLens AR glasses that may sound familiar if you remember "Fortaleza" from the big Xbox One leak in 2012.
