INTRO TO EXTENDED REALITY A BRIEF INTRO BY IAN GALENDEZ NOTE FOR READERS: PLEASE READ PRESENTATION NOTES
AGENDA 1. 2. 3. What is XR? 4. 5. Applications Outside of Entertainment VR, AR, and MR Quick Demo Pros and Cons
EXTENDED REALITY (XR) Extended Reality - An Umbrella term referring to all technology that alters reality by adding digital elements to the physical world in any capacity Examples of XR: VR, AR, and MR
VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) Fully Immersive Experience in a Virtual Environment with no view of Physical Reality Examples: Beat Saber, VR Chat, Virtual Training Modules, Online Class Environments Device Types: Computer Assisted VR (PCVR) Standalone
AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) Adds Virtual Interfaces Overlayed onto the Physical World Often with little-to-no physical interaction Examples: AR Social Media Filters Smart Glasses with HUDs (Heads Up Display)
MIXED REALITY (MR) Combination of Digital Elements superimposed into the real world, allowing viewership and direct interaction within both Virtual and Physical Realities Examples: Pokemon Go, Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro
Enhanced Learning/Teaching Environments Enhanced Workplace Learning/Work Environments Socializing/Virtual Connection Creating Virtual Content/Assets/Art Visualizing Data/Art/Simulation Planning and visualizing of 3D Spaces Collaborative Development Physical Fitness Accessibility Tools More APPLICATION OF XR OUTSIDE OF GAMES
DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES Hardware can be bulky, uncomfortable, and can be limiting based on various factors Technology is expensive to make for, make with, and acquire Accessibility varies between devices; individuals with disabilities may face challenges, such as the need for custom lenses for those with prescription glasses. Enhanced interaction through natural and intuitive user interfaces Enhanced learning for education purposes (Job training, Simulations for students) Gives opportunity for remote collaboration and virtual workspaces Technology currently being developed to aid and enhance the human experience
META QUEST DEMO TIME!
