Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality integrates the digital world into reality based on location and objects. Currently, AR with the smartphone is popular: Social apps like Instagram offer thousands of AR filters for faces or the environment, Google navigates through Maps with augmented reality or displays life-size AR animals in Google Search. Apple makes 3D scanning accessible with special lidar technology in the iPhone, giving many people the opportunity to create their own AR content. The AR industry’s big goal is slim AR glasses suitable for everyday use that will eventually replace smartphones: imagine walking through a shopping mall and seeing purchase recommendations right at the front doors of stores through AR glasses. Of course, there are countless other application scenarios. This is still science fiction – but we’ll be the first to tell you whether it comes true.

Meta Quest 3: Synth Riders is getting a Mixed Reality mode

The rhythm game Synth Riders is getting an update on October 12th that brings a mixed reality mode to Quest 3, Quest Pro and Quest 2. A portal will appear in the wall, through which you can look into the science fiction world of Synth Riders. The spheres, which approach to the rhythm of the songs, fly through the portal into your physical environment. Mixed Reality mode will be available for all songs in the game, including custom songs.
