hyper-realistic Tony Hawk Pro Skater? 🛹 love this minigame made by Christoph Schindelar with Arrival.Space - https://lnkd.in/e-aXznzh creativity, photoreal visuals, and a bit of vibecode can make something fun & interactive. and the skatepark being a 3D scanned asset is the cherry on top. anyone can make photoreal worlds with Teleport by Varjo and then bring them to life like this with Arrival.Space. can't wait to see what someone comes up with next.

Some places hold more than just history. They hold the soul of a community.🛕 Chilancho Stupa in Kirtipur is one of those places. A site of deep faith and cultural significance that has stood for centuries, quietly witnessing generations come and go. We wanted to make sure future generations can witness what it looks like today. Using XGRIDS Lixel Kity K1 SLAM-based LiDAR scanner, we captured the entire structure as real spatial data and processed it into a 3D Gaussian Splatting model. A photorealistic, true-to-scale digital record experienced in Meta Quest 2 VR. Thanks to Climate Risk and Resilience Lab for Resource Support. Now anyone, researchers, architects, students or someone simply curious about this beautiful stupa, can explore it up close without a single brick being touched. Technology doesn't replace the experience of being there. But it makes sure the knowledge is never lost. We think this is the best way of honoring heritage while keeping it alive for the world.🌍 Platform used: Arrival.Space #HeritagePreservation #Kirtipur #Nepal #3DScanning #GaussianSplatting #LiDAR #VR #MetaQuest2 #DigitalHeritage #GeonovaSolutions #SpatialComputing

Methodology vs. Interactivity: Can we have both? Anyone who knows me knows I’m usually the one in the room complaining that we don’t have enough methodology. I’m the "data first" person. But I have a confession: at 3DISE, I got completely hooked on interactivity. Despite telling everyone I wasn't the target audience, I found myself captivated by Adam Havkin and his work with Arrival.Space. It was the first time I’ve seen a speaker successfully invite 300+ visitors into a live "game" environment simultaneously. It was fun, sure, but what I appreciated most was Adam’s integrity - he highlighted that the methodology of how data is collected matters exactly as much as the interactivity of the final result. So often, people underestimate the foundation (the math, the capture, the precision) in favor of the "shiny" interface. But when you blend a solid methodological base with high-level interactivity, that’s where the real magic happens.

📣 2026 Auggie Awards Finalists Announced This year’s program received over 330 entries, reflecting an industry that continues to shift toward more practical, human-centered innovation. Across the submissions, a few clear patterns stand out: AI has become a core layer in spatial experiences, AR glasses continue to lead the headworn category, location-based entertainment (LBE) is seeing rapid growth within VR, and impact-driven XR solutions reached record levels of participation. Since 2010, the Auggies have celebrated groundbreaking technology, compelling content, and real-world impact. Finalists were selected through a combination of public voting and expert review, and now advance to the final judging round led by AWE's esteemed advisory panel. This year's awards cover 18 categories, highlighting the top global innovations in XR. Finalists are showcased in the Auggie Awards Gallery here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/duNj4gzm   Winners will be announced live on June 17 during the Auggie Awards ceremony on AWE's Main Stage.

Lately I’ve been exploring how #AI can support building different layers for my Jaffa game ! I used #Uni1 by Luma to generate elements for the game — for example, a cinematic intro that combines visuals from reference images, along with voice and music to tell a short story. The process was pretty straightforward: generate different pieces, pick what works, and bring everything together. But it also made me think about what comes next. With the new Uni-1 API, instead of creating each element separately, like the minimap or this intro. It feels possible to define a full process for building a level. For example — describing a level once, and generating its visuals, sound, narrative, and interactions as part of the same pipeline. Each level can evolve on its own, but still stay connected under the same project and direction. For me, that’s the interesting shift: from creating pieces… to building a system behind the game.
