Imagination’s Post

Picture this: you’re playing the latest Call of Dooty 24 Ranger Recon game on a VR headset. Your task is to stake out the enemy, but you don’t know where they are. You’re lost in the jungle and everything is dark. All of a sudden, you find them. How? Someone farted and you smelled it. But wait a second, you can’t smell things in video games, can you? Researchers at City University of Hong Kong have invented a VR- that lets you smell. Wearers put a device on their upper lip for easy access to their nostrils. Smells are then generated by the device heating different waxes that mimic scents. This would be awesome in most cases- but not so awesome if your video game is based in the sewer.

𝗔𝗵, 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 🎊🎉 We're all sitting, poised and ready, waiting with bated breath for Apple's latest revelation at the WWDC. The rumored star of the show? A VR-Headset. Because, of course, what we truly need is another gadget in our lives, designed to further sever our tenuous ties to the real world. But let us pause for a moment. Do we truly desire another piece of hardware engineered to shuttle us further away from tangible reality? One might romanticize a VR world styled in Apple's trademark minimalist aesthetic, a digital refuge from the chaos of the real world. A delightful prospect, indeed. However, let's not be naive. We've all navigated the digital labyrinth of intrusive pop-ups and incessant advertisements that seem committed to our online torment. The attention economy is not merely thriving, it's positively flourishing. Overload is an understatement. So, what about our utopian VR universe? Is it destined to transmogrify into a jarring scene from Keiichi Matsuda's 'Hyper-Reality'? (If you're unfamiliar, treat yourself to this riveting exploration of augmented reality's potential dark side: https://lnkd.in/e__9KMhB) As we stand on the precipice of this new digital frontier, one has to wonder, are we inadvertently unlocking Pandora's box, possibly for good? Such are the conundrums of our modern age.

Apple Vision Pro Benchmark Test 3: Virtual Content Jitter We are running a comprehensive performance testing of Apple Vision Pro and other top names in MR - the HTC VIVE XR Elite, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro. We have performed three tests so far, and the most recent one focuses on how these devices handle virtual content jitter, a key factor in VR experience. How we did it: We used the OptoFidelity BUDDY Test System, focusing on measuring angular jitter in two scenarios: Angular Jitter when the headset was stationary and Angular Jitter during movement.

🚀So, we've all seen how information is accessed in science fiction movies and shows, right? And many of us liked to toy with augmented reality for a bit - until it lost its edge. All of these might soon become reality or be implemented in a radical new way. 📱The new Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset is a doozy: advertised as a "spatial computer", it recognizes voices and tracks glances for input. 📌But the cool part lies in how you view content: information is now integrated with your field of view and reality is augmented in fun new ways. You can cook while watching the recipe instructions, visit sights while receiving additional info on your surroundings and work while engaging with real-time tutorials. 📍And this is precisely where the biggest opportunities arise. For eJump, it creates a world of possibilities in presenting the apps and e-tools we develop. 📌Theoretically, most current-gen apps can be accessed via the Vision Pro as is, but more visually appealing presentations would make full use of the technology's potential. ✨We aim to embrace the change this brings, especially as the simultaneous rise of AI-powered image generation might make it cost-effective to create better and bolder designs. #visionpro #augmentedreality #spatialcomputer #input #VR #Apple#eJump

The fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Mixed Reality is breathing new life into spatial computing, heralding the much-anticipated arrival of the Apple Vision Pro. This marks a significant leap forward, building on years of development since Meta's acquisition of Oculus VR a decade ago. The release of immersive MR experiences on #Quest3, including titles from Asgard's Wrath 2 SANZARU, the LEGO Group Bricktales Clockstone Studio, and our very own creation, Demeter The Asklepios Chronicle (launching tomorrow!), is setting new standards in the field. Reflecting on our journey, Novelab has been at the forefront of immersive technology since co-creating the Google Cardboard with Google in 2014. Continuing our tradition of innovation, we're excited to be among the first in Paris to embrace the Apple Vision Pro. 💻The Apple Vision Pro Highlights: - Apple's first foray into spatial computing, showcasing a technological marvel priced at $3500. - A sell-out success, with 180,000 units pre-ordered on its launch day, January 19. - Initially available exclusively in the USA from February 2, with a gradual rollout planned globally throughout 2024 and 2025. 🎁Given the limited availability of the headset, we're offering five individuals from our network a unique opportunity to experience the Vision Pro in our Paris showroom. ✨How to Participate: Like and/or comment on this post. Winners will be randomly selected and announced on February 10th. 🤝Romain GARBATI, David Lafin, Yannick Comte and marc poisson are already organizing ideation workshops for your projects in Spatial Computing – feel free to reach out. And, of course, for AI insights, Alexandre Malavaud is your go-to expert. Join us in exploring the next frontier of computing. Your journey into the future of spatial computing and AI begins with Novelab. #AppleVisionPro #SpatialComputing #MixedReality #AI #Innovation #Technology #NovelabExperience
