There are no WIMPS (Windows Icons Mice Pointers Solo play) in the Metaverse. Instead, we all want to feel like Neo in The Matrix and think WHOAS. Rather than frame our content in windows and endless scrolling feeds we need to design Worlds for people to explore. Instead of clicking on button icons with mice, give people caves full of treasure they can interact with using Hands and Objects. Give people Avatars and Social collaborative play. Let’s not carry forward vestigial pancake monitor design practices to 3D worlds. Let’s not make the same mistakes we made in Web 2 when building Web 3. Whether you are building for Enterprise, Brands, or Games people need Metaverse native UX design. Join us for a deep dive into 12 new design principles for building the people centric Metaverse.

Using Resolve's VR software, Meta’s data center design and construction teams use Quest 2 for cross functional collaborative feedback sessions of the General Contractor's Master Construction Model. This enables data center end users, like facilities operations, culinary, and security teams, to provide valuable feedback early in the design and construction process. This type of virtual collaboration has saved Meta substantial time and money by identifying issues before construction and optimizing for a safer, more efficient, and sustainable final data center build.

As we work to integrate XR tech into Meta’s culture, we're thinking about how VR can make well-being part of our work day to alleviate stress and boost productivity. The immersive, fun, and effective nature of VR can motivate people to adopt and maintain healthy behaviors, helping to form positive habits. We’ll start with an overview of how the rising popularity of fitness and well-being applications in the Quest store inspired our journey. From there, we’ll discuss how our XR Hub group is partnering with Meta’s HR organization (Life@) to explore a vision for the future. From including the Quest 2 as part of the Wellness Reimbursement program, to exploring the use of VR apps to improve everyday well-being, we’ll share the encouraging results of our pilot programs.

Ray tracing techniques improve graphics rendering qualities dramatically in recent years. In the coming few years, mobile chipsets will also support hardware accelerated ray tracing, which will bring a more visually believable virtual environment with realistic lighting and shadowing effects. It will become a major technique used in mobile gaming, augmented and virtual reality devices.
OPPO, collaborated with partners, began developing its ray tracing technology early in 2018 and had initially adopted a hybrid rendering method to gradually introduce ray tracing to existing mobile devices. This talk will introduce the short history of mobile ray tracing, forecast its trends in mobile devices and explore the potential applications.
