Mixed
Reality Classroom

https://techtrends.tech/tech-trends/the-mixed-reality-classroom/

Microsoft has created an ‘Immersive
Classroom’ that teaches students about all sorts of emerging and
exponential technologies such as VR/AR, AI and 3D Printing. it
incorporates Paint 3D, HoloLens and other Mixed Reality headsets, and
3D printing. Other activities also explore coding and robotics using
tools such as Minecraft and Artificial intelligence, where students
get to build their own chatbot.

The immersive classroom is open for
schools to experiment with incorporating digital tools in learning,
and has facilitated the delivery of more than 60 free workshops for
over 1000 students since opening in 2018

A.I.
and virtual reality can determine neurosurgeon expertise with 90 per
cent accuracy

Machine learning-guided virtual reality
simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before
they step in the operating room, according to a recent study.
Research from the Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial
Intelligence Learning Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute
and Hospital (The Neuro) and McGill University shows that machine
learning algorithms can accurately assess the capabilities of
neurosurgeons during virtual surgery, demonstrating that virtual
reality simulators using artificial intelligence can be powerful
tools in surgeon training.

This research, published in the Journal
of the American Medical Association on Aug. 2, 2019, shows that the
fusion of AI and VR neurosurgical simulators can accurately and
efficiently assess the performance of surgeon trainees. This means
that AI-assisted mentoring systems can be developed that focus on
improving patient safety by guiding trainees through complex surgical
procedures. These systems can determine areas that need improvement
and how the trainee can develop these important skills before
surgeons operate on real patients.

Walmart
& Lego offer a new Web-based AR Experience

https://www.walmart.com/lego

Jon Cheney, CEO of Seek, an eCommerce
company specializing in AR, showed off an ever-so-cool AR application
that Walmart uses in its Lego kiosks—sending clearly intrigued
eTail participants to their phones to view the demo. How it works:
Capture the QR code displayed on a Lego kit using your cellphone’s
camera, then aim your phone down at the floor to see how the
completed project will look and work. Cheney says 1,700 Walmart
stores are using the application.

In addition, you can now use this on
any smart phone directly from the website. Try it yourself at

Puma
Uses Zappar to Bring Web-Based AR Experience to Retail Store

https://mobile-ar.reality.news/news/puma-uses-zappar-bring-web-based-ar-experience-retail-store-0205016/

By scanning QR codes at two in-store
displays via the mobile web app, shoppers can interact with Puma's
mascot and get directions to the basketball section of the store.

The experience continues with the shoes
themselves. The seven styles in the basketball line-up each include
hangtags that trigger a unique AR content. This amazing experience
was created by AR company, Zappar.

Design Director Achim Anscheidt Discusses Virtual Reality Design of
$9 Million Centodieci

Achim Anscheidt has served as Bugatti’s
Design Director since the early stages of the VW era, guiding
development of every Bugatti from the original Veyron and its many
iterations, to Chiron, Divo, and the one-of-one La Voiture Noire.

“It doesn’t take me one and a half
years anymore. It takes half a year with Virtual Reality, VR goggles.
This was the only way to answer the needs of our CEO Stephan
Winklemann, to turn the brand where he wanted to go. Same with
Centodieci, with Divo. Same with La Voiture Noire,” says Achim.

SAFETY VR: CATERPILLAR’S NEW VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING SOLUTION FOR
CONTRACTORS

https://www.aem.org/news/ep-21-cat-safety-vr-caterpillars-new-virtual-reality-training-solution-for-contractors-with-justi/

Statistics show that up to 90 percent
of construction job site accidents are caused by unsafe behavior, not
conditions. However, according to Justin Ganschow of Caterpillar
Safety Services, worksite rookies and veterans alike can benefit from
learning critical safety lessons in a controlled, virtual reality
(VR) environment.

Justin
Ganschow: Virtual reality is really just a better way to
train. It does elicit not only an emotional but a biological
response. And those are the things that form memories.
