XR Reseach and Discovery

AR Cloud

Article

What is the most important point?

By far, the ability to visually explore all data about anything in any given real-world scene.

What are you finding challenging, puzzling or difficult to understand?

Thinking of storage and computing power needed to make the whole technology operate is mind-boggling.

What question would you most like to discuss?

What is the estimated amount of data storage required to power a functional AR Cloud, even at the most minimal level?

What is something you found interesting?

The mention of the final AR Cloud being compared with an MMO was a scary thought. More specifically, it’s worrying that we’re extremely close to a point where VR/AR will become indistinguishable from real reality.

The fact that magic leap the putting the communities respect and privacy first. The exploitation happing to all of society is planned to be eliminated in their world.

Companies and service providers with scaled, legacy business models built on being data-centric or direct monetization of user data will not be able to deliver on the promise of respect that the cititzens of Magicverse require and deserve

What question would you most like to discuss?

Magic Leap’s approach to openness and honesty. The choice to be upfront and transparent is very important, and they’re the first company I’ve seen come forward with an approach such as this.

Mirrorworld

Article

What is the most important point?

That robots, or digital objects functioning in the real world, are already completely immersed and viewing everything from the perspective of the Mirrorworld.

What question would you most like to discuss?

There are lots of discussions about being able to create “digital ghosts,” or “copies” of complex machinery to be able to run tests, and what not on them. Once this is achievable, in conjunction will real-time mapping and the help of future tech, uncover answers to unknown questions of the coming future, but also questions of the past.

What is something you found interesting?

That we need to utilize old technologies(cameras) to build the latest technologies, such as Mirrorworld.

Cyberverse

Article

What is the most important point?

Out of all the given articles on the topic, Cyberverse appears to have an already functioning technology but exclusively on Huawei phones.

What are you finding challenging, puzzling or difficult to understand?

A company, seemingly out of nowhere can develop competitive, state of the art spacial computing technologies.

Planet-scale

Link

What is the most important point?

Niantic has a headstart over others due to the overwhelming success of Pokemon Go.
