This week, with long-time technology collaborator EssilorLuxottica, Meta introduced new Ray Ban smartglasses designs and features. The latest designs do not flip the product range on its head with ground-breaking features. However, a new sleeker design intends to drive consumer adoption of the AR-lite device.   The second-generation smart glasses are expanding just in time for summer with three new frames. New Skyler frames are suited for smaller faces, meanwhile the low bridge Headliner frames considers wearers who find glasses sit too low on their face.   Moreover, Meta is also int ..read more

This week, Meta opened its Meta Horizon OS [the operating system powering the Quest product portfolio] to third-party developers, allowing a more comprehensive range of developers to create applications for the firm’s portfolio of XR products. Meta’s open approach comes as Apple establishes a walled garden ecosystem to support its spatial computing vision. The intention appears straightforward, directly aiming at Apple’s approach to its hardware ecosystem. On the other hand, Meta is taking an open approach, giving developers a customisable framework for specified solutions. This approach makes ..read more

Immersive retail and ecommerce (online shopping) experiences have grown increasingly popular in recent years. As the digital world continues to alter how consumers research and buy products and services, extended reality is emerging as a valuable resource.   With virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, companies can empower products to digitally try products before they buy them, compare available solutions, and even experiment with digital twins. The right technologies not only improve the customer experience but also increase revenue and fewer returns for many retail brands. &n ..read more

Following the deletion of Oculus account data, Meta has now removed several features from its virtual meeting room tool Horizon: Workrooms in a proclaimed effort to provide a “more streamlined and reliable experience.” At the same time, Meta optimised the platform’s user experience. As of March 30th, Meta removed Horizon Workrooms features, including functions such as interactive whiteboards, custom posters logos/environments/layouts, chat files/links, and tracked keyboards. Moreover, Meta has also removed all user data related to these features. On the other hand, it appears the Meta may be t ..read more

The XR space has a lot to offer, and as more firms enter the industry as software or hardware solution providers, the use cases for XR will expand. The power of XR and spatial computing data is undeniable, whether in 3D environmental or user tracking data. 3D services are working hard to elevate the future of industry and work by profoundly understanding the world around us. Even if a company is not currently using VR or virtual meeting spaces, XR data is still set to play a significant role in transforming our work. It is exciting to see the progress and innovation that emerging technology so ..read more

What a massive week for spatial computing. At GTC, NVIDIA wowed the world with robotics, digital twins, automatic vehicles, AI processors, and countless more innovations, and behind many, many, many of these innovations, spatial data. With XR/spatial computing data, whether 3D environmental data or user tracking data, 3D services are working hard behind the scenes to elevate the future of industry and work by using a deep computing understanding of the world around us. With the rise of emerging technology solutions, spatial and XR data is seemingly the lynchpin holding a segment of the future ..read more
