VR/AR

In a pioneering approach to counter age-related cognitive decline, researchers from Japan and the UK have developed a virtual reality (VR) game that trains the brain using the power of smell.

Surprising new research has revealed that people’s perception of motion can be radically manipulated in passive virtual reality environments without making them feel unwell, researchers say.

A new tool which can rapidly prototype augmented reality experiences has given researchers new insights which could allow cyclists to safely share the roads with self-driving cars.

A new study on how computers can be accurately controlled using only facial expressions could help make augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies more accessible to people living with disabilities. 

Augmented reality (AR) is no longer just a futuristic technology to monitor—it has become a powerful tool reshaping the manufacturing industry. From enhancing worker productivity to bolstering operational efficiencies, AR solutions are proving their worth across manufacturing environments. But what does the future hold?

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a virtual reality (VR) system designed to improve the way psychiatric conditions are diagnosed. 

Virtual reality (VR) is a visually immersive, simulated experience in which a user wears a headset device that takes them, in the figurative sense, out of their reality and puts them into an alternative, virtual one.

No matter the artist, venue, or set-up, audiences expect rich, immersive experiences at every event they attend. Delivering these successfully requires state of the art technology driven by a professional Audio/Visual (ProAV) application, and for every device on the network to be connected effectively, no matter the manufacturer.

Lumus announces the introduction of its Z-30 optical engine, which features the company’s Z-Lens 2D waveguide architecture and a smaller field-of-view (30 degrees) to fit seamlessly within standard glasses sizes, offering major functional and aesthetic benefits.

A seven-nation initiative has been launched to preserve and celebrate the Cornish language and Cornwall’s cultural heritage. Named REVIVE, the £2.5 million project is led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and combines immersive technologies with participatory storytelling to promote endangered European languages.
