A 3-D device changes the conversation about space

A 3-D device changes the conversation about space | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
From www.theglobeandmail.com - September 7, 2012 11:03 AM
Technology allows clients to visualize condos, offices and restaurants, even neighbourhood projects, before they’re built...

 

Architects, real estate developers and design professionals say the “immersive” environment, which creates a virtual rendering on a life-size scale, has the potential to change the conversation with their layman clients.

 

“This is an interactive tool where you can stand in a room, a lobby or a landscape area and manipulate the space and discuss it,” said architect Paul Sapounzi, a partner with +VG Architects, which designed the Woodlands library. “This is a working tool,” he added. “It’s not a gimmick.”

Apple has taken the latest step in mixing our virtual lives with actual reality with the launch for their newest headset. But they weren't the first to the VR game. So what were they meant for to begin with and are we using them as intended today?

What Apple’s Vision Pro‘s ‘spatial computing’ is: AR, VR or both?

What Apple’s Vision Pro‘s ‘spatial computing’ is: AR, VR or both? | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
From www.washingtonpost.com - February 2, 2024 12:30 PM

Apple insists that its $3,500 Vision Pro ski goggles, which officially debuted Friday, is not virtual reality but “spatial computing.”

One problem: No one agrees on the definition of spatial computing. Ask 10 people in technology and you might get 12 different answers.

What Apple calls a spatial computer, some technologists call “mixed reality” — or possibly “augmented reality,” “holographic computing,” “the metaverse” or “XR,” which some people say is shorthand for “extended reality.” Others say the letters don’t stand for anything.

Norma Lopez's curator insight, September 16, 2023 7:39 PM
The exploration of augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) technologies in higher education is a fascinating and timely subject. It's encouraging to see institutions like UC Berkeley critically assessing the potential of these technologies while also considering important factors such as privacy, accessibility, and security. As AR and VR continue to evolve, their integration into education could lead to transformative experiences for both students and educators, opening up new horizons in teaching, learning, and research. It will be exciting to see how these technologies shape the future of higher education.
