AR contact lenses that display information are theoretically possible. The first patents date back to 1999, and “Mojo Vision” has raised over $100 million in investments. This article highlights the challenges this technology must overcome before it reaches market.

With futuristic glasses, we can transport ourselves to a stadium, pilot a spaceship, or dive into the depths of the ocean. With our smartphones, we can hunt Pokémon anywhere, Snapchat filters give us funny glasses or cat ears, and we can instantly see how the new sofa fits in the living room. All of this is made possible by mixed reality.

The fact is: More and more young people are opting for university instead of pursuing vocational training. Reasons for this include the perceived lack of attractiveness of many skilled trades and the image of being left behind in the digital age.

Companies can operate more sustainably and efficiently than ever before with virtual reality training if they invest in the right applications. Employees and customers are immersed in a customized and interactive learning environment where they can receive interactive training just like in the real world. And far beyond.

Since the beginning of the video game industry, many people have dreamed of completely immersing themselves in a virtual world. What began as a cool “wow” feature in 1980s movies has developed into a deep longing among consumers.

The German Federal Aviation Authority (LBA), the central German authority for civil aviation, has certified the Europe-unique VR training offered by NMY and Lufthansa Aviation. Certification by one of the world’s most demanding authorities demonstrates that virtual reality training is recognized as a reliable training tool.

Over the past 10 years, the workflow for creating 3D assets has changed fundamentally. Modeling and texturing used to be two distinct processes: First, the 3D model was built and optimized, then the UV map was created—and then the finished model was built.

Virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing the way companies train, learn, and work. Numerous studies and analyses demonstrate how VR technologies generate sustainable success and advance companies.

In VR applications, “interaction” encompasses the actions and reactions of users in the virtual environment, such as object manipulation, movement, and communication. In this article, we demonstrate how real interactions are implemented virtually, what challenges exist, and where VR is even superior to reality.
