Tech Spark!!!💥 SPATIAL COMPUTING👨💻🛜 Recently, I came across an emerging technology called spatial computing, which has vast applications in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Spatial computing leverages 3D visualization to represent products and images as if they exist in the real world. This technology promises to make the future of the human world incredibly exciting. Imagine being transported to an environment of your choice—yes, it’s possible! Spatial computing enables users to experience virtual environments tailored to their preferences. One of the most fascinating aspects of this technology is its focus on intuitive interactions such as gestures, voice commands, and more, making tasks easier and more efficient. It allows humans to interact with digital environments in a fully three-dimensional way, revolutionizing how we engage with the virtual world. Moreover, digital products can be controlled seamlessly using commands and gestures. Spatial computing is set to transform our future, bridging the gap between physical and digital realities and making interactions more natural and immersive.

Today is the first day of the XR Accelerator, where I aim to translate our spatial computing technologies for health into commercial products that can benefit patients at scale. I’m being supported by XR Stories and XR Network+ and CodeBase to develop academic entrepreneurial projects combining the best of extended reality and AI technologies. My clinical focus is helping patients recover faster after injury to the brain and spinal cord, and my technical focus is VR and brain computer interface systems, powered by machine intelligence. #VR #AI #extendedreality #academia #startup

Exciting news! Our (w/ Chris Creed , Sayan Sarcar , Arthur Theil ) survey article, From Teleportation to Climbing: A Review of Locomotion Techniques in the Most Used Commercial Virtual Reality Applications, just got open-access published at the Q1 International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction! Free for everyone to read at the following link: https://lnkd.in/eYxY7c9Y We explored how developers have implemented locomotion in the most popular VR applications each year since 2016, adding scientific rigour to future locomotion choices in both academic studies and in the development of commercial titles. We show how arm tracked grabbing movements are continuing to increase in popularity, how potentially accessible haptic feedback appears underexplored, and how developers can find market gaps by taking lessons from the long history of research exploring the commercially barely explored redirected walking techniques. We're delighted that our article is free for everyone as we believe it will be extremely useful for researchers in the VR, gaming, and accessibility fields, developers selecting locomotion techniques for their next project who want to explore unique market gaps, and general VR hobbyists who have a burning hatred of teleportation and will be delighted to read about its dramatic fall from grace. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!

🌟 Exploring the Boundless Possibilities of Mixed Reality 🌟 Mixed Reality (MR) is not just a buzzword; it's a transformative technology shaping the future of human-computer interaction. From immersive gaming experiences to cutting-edge medical simulations, MR is revolutionizing various industries. But with great potential comes great challenges. Integrating virtual elements seamlessly into the real world, ensuring accurate spatial mapping, and providing a truly immersive experience are just a few hurdles to overcome. However, as technology evolves, these challenges are gradually being addressed, unlocking even more possibilities for MR applications. So, what does the future hold for Mixed Reality? It's limitless! Imagine attending meetings in virtual spaces, exploring historical landmarks from the comfort of your home, or learning complex concepts through interactive simulations. And when we combine the power of AI with Mixed Reality, the results are truly extraordinary. AI algorithms can enhance MR experiences by providing intelligent insights, personalized recommendations, and dynamic interactions.

A must-read for anyone working in the VR industry. Craig Anderton conducted a comprehensive review of VR locomotion techniques in the most used VR applications available in the Steam, Meta, Oculus, Viveport, and SideQuest platforms. Some interesting highlights of the research: Results suggest a decline in the usage of VR teleportation, with the prevalence of titles containing at least one teleportation technique decreasing from 48% of those released in 2016 to 18% in 2023. Arm-tracked grabbing locomotion techniques such as climbing meanwhile are being increasingly adopted by practitioners, from almost unused in 3% of applications released in 2016 to over 30% in each year between 2020 and 2023. Additionally, although the tracking capabilities afforded by consumer-level head-mounted display hardware has resulted in a high exploration of room-scale tracking, the large academic focus on walking-based locomotion appears to not be shared by practitioners, where room-scale tracking instead is most often paired with conventional controller joystick sliding locomotion.
