Varjo pulls the plug: Reality Cloud will no longer be developed from June 2024
In April, Varjo announced support for Reality Cloud on Quest 3 and Quest Pro, but now the XR company is pulling the plug. Reality Cloud will no longer be developed further from June 2024. An official statement says: “While we continue to explore ways to power the highest quality XR streaming, we have made the decision to discontinue development of Reality Cloud as of June 2024. Our customers are the world’s largest enterprises and organizations, and their requirements for XR cloud streaming are more diverse and security-driven than originally anticipated. A Varjo dedicated commercial cloud streaming service is not what most effectively serves them, and we will instead focus on empowering 3rd party streaming solutions and local streaming capabilities for enterprises scaling their VR and XR usage.”
Varjo and Force Technology offer VR training for mariners
Varjo has teamed up with FORCE Technology, a specialist in maritime simulation technology. The collaboration aims to provide advanced VR and XR training solutions to maritime customers worldwide, reducing the costs and logistical challenges associated with traditional maritime training methods. The VR training sessions will use Varjo's XR-4 VR headsets, which were launched last November. The partnership was formed in response to the shortage of skilled seafarers in the global shipping industry and aims to provide effective, affordable, scalable and easy-to-use training solutions.
Military training gets XR upgrade with Varjo and BISim collaboration
Back in September, Varjo became a technology partner of the US Army. Now the VR/XR technology experts are announcing their next big partnership: Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim), a developer of military simulation and training software, is teaming up with Varjo. The partnership will include pre-testing and early integration of each company's products, offering users turnkey packages of BISim software with Varjo's VR and mixed reality headsets. Together, Varjo and BISim aim to accelerate the creation of new use cases for training and mission rehearsal for military applications while reducing cost, risk, and time to market.
