At the Qualcomm booth at IMC, the Extended Reality (XR) experience was a major attraction. With major players like Meta with Ray-Ban, Vivo, and Apple with Vision Pro investing heavily, it’s clear that XR computing is shaping the future of mobile technology.

The VR headset race has slowed —Meta’s AI spend and the competition’s stop-start moves took the air out. But the “new-old” Apple Vision Pro still seamlessly blends digital content with your (not mine) physical space. New chip. New strap. New memes incoming—the design edges into “meerkat gas mask” territory. The weight has already inspired DIY dual-strap hacks, while Apple’s materials team feels one step away from building spacesuits for the next Moon/Mars crews. Took a moment to run an AVP visual through a locally hosted Diffusers UI (repo: https://lnkd.in/eZQjpr8k). Here’s the ad hoc result… #AppleVisionPro #SpatialComputing #XR #AR #VR #MixedReality #AI #GenerativeAI #ProductDesign #TechTrends

Explore the human lungs with our new “Gaseous Exchange” featured playlist! 🫁 Students can shrink down to a microscopic scale and journey deep into the respiratory system. Through explorable VR scenes and 3D models, they’ll travel through bronchi and bronchioles, observe the alveoli up close, and watch how oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of the bloodstream. See the lungs in motion, investigate the structure and function of each part, and analyze the adaptations that make gas exchange possible. It’s a powerful way to bring abstract concepts to life and make complex science lessons more engaging and memorable. Discover the “Gaseous Exchange ” featured playlist now at the top of your ClassVR portal! #VRInEducation #ImmersiveLearning #ClassVR #EdTech

I recently came across this old clip from the Magic Leap era, when the dream of blending digital and physical worlds felt almost like science fiction. Magic Leap was not alone. Microsoft, Google, and Meta were all exploring the same vision of spatial computing that could change how we work, play, and connect. Fast forward to 2025, and Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and Samsung XR Glasses are turning that vision into reality. Samsung Galaxy XR https://lnkd.in/dyf3jyRz It is fascinating to see how far we have come, from early experiments to hardware that is genuinely shaping the next generation of computing. #MagicLeap #Microsoft #Google #Meta #Apple #Samsung #XR #AR #VR #MR #MixedReality #ImmersiveExperience #Innovation #Tofaani #TanveerSabir

If you are interested in haptic texture rendering for VR interactions, please check out our new paper recently published in IEEE Transactions on Haptics (Early Access)! Donghyeon Kim (김동현) led this work, developing an interesting method to evoke realistic texture scanning sensations by spinning a textured disk on the fingertip. Key Findings • Concentric rotation of a textured disk on the fingertip produces a tactile experience almost indistinguishable from linear texture scanning. • This illusion holds for both smooth (silk) and rough (sandpaper) textures. • The rotational speed should be proportional to the user’s scanning motion, quantified as gain functions in the paper.

Here's another snapshot from my VR world, "The Double Slit without a Wavefunction" in Somnium Space. This time, a particle diffusion model superimposes a classical wave diffraction pattern—the particles were implemented through a quantum scattering model introduced by William Duane in 1923. In 2010, Carolyne Van Vliet suggested that Duane's model aligns with quantum theory if the interferometer is considered as a distributed quantum object, rather than treating the incident particle as a wave that needs to 'collapse' on detection.

Mini Screen Reaches Eye Resolution ⊲ New Atlas ⊳ Swedish researchers have developed a groundbreaking screen, termed "retina e-paper," that mimics the human pupil's size and achieves over 25,000 pixels per inch, comparable to the density of photoreceptors in the human eye. Made with tungsten oxide "metapixels", the screen switches electrically between metal and insulating states, producing images via reflected rather than emitted light. This could lead to ultra-compact, high-fidelity displays for applications like VR and AR, and possibly contact-lens displays, though practical development remains some way off. ⊲ Image - New Atlas ⊳ https://lnkd.in/eXMT3PEF

At Canadian Metal Buildings, we’ve been leveraging VR/3D design technology for several years , and the value it brings across the entire building lifecycle is unmatched. For architects and engineers, VR makes it possible to see the full structure before a single piece of steel is fabricated. Builders and erectors benefit from clear visualization of how every component comes together on site. Even mechanical and electrical systems can be integrated directly into the structural model during the design phase, eliminating clashes, planning penetrations and fastening points in advance, and precisely identifying point loads. This eliminates or reduces surprises, faster builds, and smarter planning. While much of our industry is still heavily rooted in 2D CAD, we’ve proven that immersive, model based design drives efficiency, safety, and collaboration at every stage. Building Better Buildings, Building Better Lives.
