Welcome to our recurring post, 3D Interactive Tech Talk, highlighting how interactive technology is being used right now and where it’s headed.
New AR Patents Aim to Bring a Little Magic Into the World
What does the future hold? No one knows, of course, but Magic Leap is inspiring a lot of wonder with the filing of multiple patents that seem to take AR (augmented reality) and wearables to the next level. Focusing on gamification aspects, gesture control, and real-world integration, the possibilities are both freaky and cool – and closer to becoming real than ever.
Oculus VR Demo Offers First-Hand Experience in Airplane Safety

Their new VR simulation depicts the procedure for evacuating an airplane after just such an event, and their research shows that the VR experience stuck with users longer than those who learned via pamphlet. Passengers can view the demo using Oculus Rift eyewear anytime from home – which is good, since the last place you want to be “scared safe” is while awaiting takeoff.
