Mojo Vision
Mojo Vision looks like it would fit right at home in a futuristic story. AR holograms made possible by advanced contact lenses is right out of science fiction but are possibly a very near reality. Since they were chosen as by the 2021 Walt Disney Accelerator Program this certainly means the product has merit and also could be something that changes how the world interacts with data in the future.
Vitruvian VR | Where History, Technology & Style meet Virtual Reality
Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's Virtruvian Man. this full body rig has a range of motion that nearly another setup can match. Using industrial parts and full 360 degrees of movement for your body you can experience levels of immersion that are not possible using other equipment, especially flight.
PIXO VR Home - PIXO VR
More than a few XR training companies have come along (we featured several geared toward law enforcement back in issue 51) but have not come across any with the breadth of content and scenarios across industries as PIXO VR. Treating training as storied scenarios is possibly the most successful way to ensure retention, and we're hoping to reach them in the new year to help show a bit more of why we find them so impressive.
Full body haptic feedback & motion capture tracking VR suit - TESLASUIT
VR for performance training hasn't caught on, partly due to closures and lack of facilities. Unifying haptics, motion capture, temperature control, biometrics, and other features to deeply immerse the wearer's senses in any scenario. We were hoping to see more about this suit but understandably there probably were not a lot of people using it this year. We're going to reach out and see if there is an opportunity to learn a bit more to share.
Commentary
Hello and welcome to the last issue of 2021, our second year! We (reluctantly) took last week off for the holidays but are back with our year end great issue. For those of you that weren't subscribed this time last year, our yearly end of year tradition is to feature hardware that we came across but couldn’t find a place to mention this year and that may not have gotten much attention. Part of the reason we started this newsletter is to share some of the innovative and amazing technology and experiences we come across that others have never heard of they just look at a few news sources or social accounts.
This has been an interesting year, both for attempting to setup interviews and in making time to dive deeper into finding interesting news to share. In this past year we featured over 500 distinct events, news items, researchers, and companies helping but the Metaverse. That's a pretty big accomplishment for us, and next year we'd like share even more. Even if that is just getting the podcast off the ground.
To everyone that has been with us since the beginning and those of you who subscribed this year, we are grateful that you enjoy the newsletter and hope that next year you'll find a new favorite thing in something we share. As always, feel free to tweet us cool stuff you find and check out the directory for even more things that we didn't get a chance to feature yet.
Have a happy and safe holiday, and we'll see you in the new year.
