Meta’s passthrough technology represents a significant leap in mixed reality, allowing developers to overlay virtual content onto a user’s actual surroundings with highly accurate depth and spatial awareness. This MR feature, available on Meta’s latest headsets, processes the physical environment through external cameras, generating a real-time feed that serves as a “canvas” for virtual elements. Meta's passthrough tech leverages advanced algorithms to detect depth, obstacles, and surfaces, enabling developers to create seamless interactions where virtual and physical objects respond naturally to each other. For example, digital objects can occlude behind real-world items, respecting the spatial layout of the user’s environment. This technology also opens new possibilities in gaming and remote collaboration by supporting persistent virtual elements that adapt to dynamic physical changes. Developers can utilize Meta's passthrough API to calibrate and customize these interactions, optimizing for context-specific applications that require situational awareness.

🫀 At the recent Global Summit, experts highlighted AI's transformative potential in cardiac care, discussing advancements in predictive health monitoring that could redefine patient outcomes. AI algorithms are being developed to analyze vast datasets, from EKG readings to lifestyle factors, allowing for the prediction of heart disease risks with higher accuracy and specificity. This predictive capacity enables cardiologists to detect early markers of heart disease, such as subtle EKG abnormalities, often missed through traditional diagnostics.

🍷 In the UK, researchers are using VR to simulate high-risk scenarios in a controlled environment to help patients with cocaine addiction build resistance to cravings. During therapy, patients wear a VR headset that immerses them in a virtual scene, such as a party or social setting, where they would typically feel the urge to use. This environment is designed to feel realistic and is paired with “trigger elements” like visual cues or sounds that can prompt cravings. With a therapist's guidance, patients practice coping mechanisms and responses in real time. For example, they may rehearse saying no 🙅♀️ , use breathing exercises , or employ grounding techniques when faced with a craving. This allows them to build resilience and confidence without the actual risk of exposure or relapse. VR therapy enhances traditional exposure therapy with customizable, immersive experiences tailored to each patient, helping them handle real-world triggers effectively.

The “sensory harmonization” movement in XR brings a new level of realism by combining multiple sensory inputs, such as sight, sound, and even tactile feedback. These advancements are pushing XR beyond visual immersion, creating experiences that feel tangibly real. Whether used in medical therapy, training simulations, or entertainment, sensory harmonization enhances the effectiveness of XR, making virtual experiences more engaging and impactful. This technology promises to make XR applications more intuitive, bringing a heightened sense of presence and engagement that feels closer to reality.

🌐 Unreal Engine 6 is pushing the boundaries of interoperability by offering native support for cross-platform and cross-environment integration, making it possible for developers to design complex digital spaces that coexist and interact seamlessly. Leveraging Epic’s new “World Partition” system, developers can split vast game worlds into streaming grids, which load dynamically based on player proximity. This approach not only boosts performance but also allows for real-time, persistent worlds where users interact across diverse environments without load interruptions. Epic has also integrated enhanced AI capabilities with “MassEntity,” which lets developers handle thousands of AI-driven NPCs and dynamic elements, ideal for large-scale, shared virtual worlds. Coupled with expanded support for Nanite and Lumen, Unreal Engine 6 promises unprecedented levels of visual fidelity and realism, even in sprawling environments. This toolkit is essential for building the next generation of interoperable metaverse experiences, allowing developers to link separate virtual worlds smoothly, maintain continuity in user experiences, and support robust, scalable economies.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gECCSCMy #metaverse #unrealengine #epicgames

🚀 Just last week, our CEO, Olga Krivchenko (MBA), had the incredible opportunity to speak at SUP IT Day 2024 organized by the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP)! 🌐 In the panel discussion titled "Life Without AI No Longer Exists," Olga joined industry leaders to dive into the evolving role of artificial intelligence and how it’s reshaping our world. We’re proud to see Olga representing us on this prestigious stage, sharing insights on how we’re harnessing AI to drive innovative solutions in immersive technology and software development. 👏 Thanks to SUP IT Day for this invaluable opportunity, and kudos to Olga for making our vision heard! ##SUPITDAY2024 #artificialintelligence #techevent #ai

Snap’s latest AR Spectacles represent a significant step forward, providing developers with advanced tools to create immersive and hands-free augmented experiences. The new Spectacles leverage enhanced optics and processing power to support real-world applications across various industries, such as education, retail, and professional training. The new Snap Spectacles are designed with dual 3D waveguide displays, offering a higher field of view than previous versions. They allow developers to create realistic augmented overlays directly onto physical environments—perfect for retail applications, where users can see virtual “try-ons,” or in education, where students can visualize complex models, like human anatomy, in real time. This leap in optics lets users interact with more lifelike, stable digital objects. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eEmexbJQ  #augmentedreality #snap #ar

📄 Estimation is one of our clients' most common concerns, and it often raises the most questions during project planning. To address this, we’ve created a detailed whitepaper that outlines our approach to project estimation.
