Microsoft selects AVATAR Dimension for East Coast Mixed Reality Capture Studio Company
Will Feature Latest Technology to Serve Government and Business
Microsoft has selected Avatar Dimension, a partnership of three well-established technology companies, as the exclusive licensee for its volumetric capture technology in the Washington, D.C. area. After a rigorous testing process, Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture Studios certified the new studio which is now ready to enter into full operation.
Avatar Dimension builds on the strength of Avatar Studios of St. Louis, Dimension Studio of the UK and Sabey Data Centers of Seattle and will operate from a brand-new studio in Ashburn, VA located within Sabey’s Intergate Ashburn data center complex.
Utilizing Microsoft’s best-in-class software and the brand new “Volucam” cameras from IO Industries, the company will create holographic and volumetric content for government, business enterprises and immersive agencies, with a special emphasis on immersive and mixed reality training.
At the VR/AR Global Summit last week, Avatar Dimension hosted a panel including Microsoft and other experts entitled, “Moving Virtual Mountains: The Tipping Point that will Catapult Volumetric Capture to Mass Adoption.”
Volumetric capture turns humans and objects into holographic 3D images that look real from any 360-degree angle. There are rapidly growing commercial and enterprise needs to blend the physical world with digital to serve their customers, ranging from enterprise life-like training taught anywhere on the planet; health care for advanced learning; military; entertainment of all kinds; and more.
Avatar Dimension opens doors in the coming months in the Washington D.C. area to serve the east coast and other global needs. The choice of Washington D.C. puts the studio near enterprise, military centers, health care companies, and entertainment.
“Avatar Dimension is built on decades of experience for leading brands,” explains Dennis Bracy, CEO of Avatar Dimension. “Our studio results are realistic and engrossing. For enterprise operations looking for truly innovative ways to have a meaningful effect with their audiences, this is the future.”
“We're thrilled to be partnering with Avatar Studios and Sabey Data Center to launch an East Coast studio. Volumetric capture is essential for powerful new virtual experiences across all categories. From the Madonna holograms we created for the Billboard Music Awards to the Covid training created for the UK's National Health Service, volumetric and real-time technologies are raising the bar for user engagement, with new possibilities emerging every day,” said Simon Windsor, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Director of Dimension.
Avatar Dimension safely built the stage and met deadlines despite COVID-19, relying heavily on remote tools, including Microsoft’s Hololens2.

New realities for retail: virtual stores! See Telefónica Movistar as an example.
To present new mobile devices in an innovative way, immersive experiences were activated in Movistar customer experience centers, the major telecommunications brand owned by Telefónica.
Outside and inside the stores, graphics with QR codes invited customers to discover the new available mobile phones. Through a 360° web experience users can test different devices models, see their functionalities and obtain more details of their technical characteristics.
This project aims to improve a user’s shopping experience from the moment they enter into the stores looking for newly options. Augmented Reality is used to create virtual product testers in 3D of the mobile phone models that are offered. These initiatives represents a great opportunity to improve customer service while innovating advantages for sales teams.
Also, allows transforming advertising campaigns into interactive experiences, providing users extra content as they scan any graphic in offline media or enter trough links in social media or e-commerce platforms.
Another advantage is that as virtual product testers are implemented, stores spaces for inventory and storage are reduced. In addition, these experiences encourage users to try products in their homes or any place outside the store without incurring in logistics costs or wasting time returning them.

8th Wall Introduces Curved Image Targets for Augmented Reality Experiences - No App Required!
Come meet us at the VR/AR Global Summit ONLINE Sept 30-Oct 2
8th Wall Brings Augmented Reality to Bottles, Cans and Cups
First-of-its-Kind Curved Image Target Technology Powers New WebAR Experiences on Food and Beverage Packaging—No App Required
PALO ALTO, Calif.,-- September 22, 2020-- 8th Wall today announced the launch of Curved Image Targets, becoming the only development platform with tools to create web-based augmented reality (WebAR) experiences that are activated by and can interact with cylindrical- and conical-shaped objects. Siduri Wines becomes the first brand to showcase the commercialization of this technology, with its wine bottle-activated experience created by agency Rock Paper Reality.
Curved Image Targets expands upon 8th Wall’s existing image target functionality which was previously only designed for flat shapes. With this update to 8th Wall’s powerful AR engine, developers can now create interactive WebAR experiences using images wrapped around cylinder- and cone-shaped objects such as bottles, cans, cups and more. 8th Wall launched this new feature to meet the demand from consumer packaged goods brands looking to use augmented reality to engage their customers with their product packaging without the friction of downloading an app. Like all of 8th Wall’s AR capabilities, experiences created with Curved Image Targets require no app to download; users simply click a link or scan a QR code to immediately start the experience.
“8th Wall is on a mission to make augmented reality for everyone and to do that we need to be able to augment everything,” says Erik Murphy-Chutorian, CEO & Founder of 8th Wall. “The launch of Curved Image Targets builds upon 8th Wall’s existing WebAR technology which includes World Tracking, Flat Image Targets and Face Effects as we continue to prove that powerful augmented reality experiences can live on the web.”
AR design firm, Rock Paper Reality, worked with Siduri Wines to use this new set of tools to create a WebAR experience that interacts with the wine bottle. After scanning the wine label with a smartphone, users watch as a track wraps around the bottle and a grape pops out of the lid and takes a ride before disappearing behind a trap door. Earlier this year, Siduri Wines launched a series of WebAR experiences that featured a volumetric capture of Siduri Founder Adam Lee which used a virtual bottle. This new project was developed to showcase the types of experiences Siduri plans to launch in 2021, which make the real product central to the experience.
8th Wall has made developing with cylindrical and conical image targets simple with a target creation flow that doesn’t require object measurements, tools to immediately test targets without the need to print labels and ready-to-go components that use video and 3D to bring curved image targets to life. Developers can configure multiple target regions on the same product and can choose to combine flat and curved image targets to track the sides and the flat top and bottom of a cylindrical or conical target. They can also integrate external libraries and APIs such as analytics, real-time data feeds and other machine learning libraries within their experiences to create complex and meaningful WebAR projects.
“8th Wall’s new Curved Image Target functionality allowed us to finally create a web-based, AR project that uses cylindrical image targets. 8th Wall’s new technology helped RPR develop a frictionless, augmented reality experience for Siduri Wines, which lets their customers engage with their wine bottles like never before,” says Patrick Johnson, CEO of Rock Paper Reality. “We are continually impressed with the quality and performance of 8th Wall’s AR engine, so much so we have made WebAR a core focus of our business. The addition of Curved Image Targets to 8th Wall’s platform opens up so many new use cases that we are excited to deliver to brands, particularly in the beverage industry.”
8th Wall’s Curved Image Targets are now available to customers at www.8thwall.com. New users can sign up for a 14-day free trial of the 8th Wall platform. Existing users can simply log in to get started using the Curved Image Target project template or cloning one of many sample projects from the 8th Wall Project Library.

Varjo and KIA Motors: Driving the Future with XR Collaboration in Car Design
Today Varjo and KIA Motors revealed an exciting new use case around the future of automotive design. Leveraging Autodesk VRED’s latest release that just added support for mixed reality through Varjo’s XR-1 device, KIA is among the first automakers to apply these innovative technologies in their design process. This has become particularly relevant in this new era of COVID where the ability to collaborate remotely and reliably with teams across the globe has never been more crucial.
Kia Motors has always been an industry leader when it comes to implementing new and innovative tech in their design process. Now, with Varjo XR-1 supported by Autodesk VRED, Kia’s visualization process can move to a totally immersive photorealistic environment. And that means global design reviews can go from days to an hour.
Photorealistic, real-scale and hands-on – Seeing is believing
There’s magic happening in the Europe Design Center of Kia Motors – the South Korean automotive company. Thomas Unterluggauer is the center’s Creative Manager CGI. He’s wearing the Varjo XR-1 headset as he works on a Kia model in the studio; moving seamlessly between the real and virtual car in front of him, and making changes on the fly.
What he’s seeing and doing in the Kia studio hasn’t been possible until now. Welcome to the new reality.
Kia’s European design studio, led by Gregory Guillaume (in the picture), is a pioneer in integrating new technologies into their design workflow. With a digital 3D department, design teams and visualization experts, its goal is to always exceed expectations – both for Kia customers and the company’s leadership in South Korea.
When Kia’s European team tried out Varjo’s VR headset for the first time, they were blown away by the clarity and the resolution compared to all other headsets.
“For the first time, we could literally see the metallic flakes in the paint and perceive the depth and quality of the material shaders. We could see the beauty of the details more than ever before in the virtual world. Varjo is the only device capable of this level of clarity and sharpness,” Unterluggauer says.
Seeing more details in the car exterior was a breakthrough. But when Unterluggauer and the team got to explore the Varjo XR-1 mixed reality device, they realized they could also use it to take their design work to new heights.
With Varjo XR-1, designers can work with their colleagues in the physical design space they’re used to and collaborate on photorealistic, real-scale virtual car models while seeing their hands and bodies. In an immersive mixed reality experience like this, they’re able to talk as they go, give immediate feedback, and run more engaging reviews.
“Immersive collaboration works way more naturally than we expected. This is something I’ve always wished for and with the Varjo device, it’s now a reality,” adds Gregory Guillaume, Vice President of Design at Kia Motors Europe.
At the end of a mixed reality session, Unterluggauer takes off the Varjo XR-1 headset and looks back into the room. “It’s fascinating how quickly you adapt to the mixed reality. You’re tricked into thinking for a moment that reality is wrong, that there is something missing. It’s completely different to any other experience I’ve ever had in VR,” he says. And there’s that magic again.
Kia’s workflow changes up a gear with VR/XR
Located in Frankfurt, Germany, Kia’s Europe Design Center is helping to change perceptions of the Kia brand across the continent as well as worldwide. Its dedicated team of designers create concept cars of the future as well as production models for both Europe and the global market.
The ability to design and collaborate with Varjo’s photorealistic VR/XR and Autodesk VRED is a total game-changer for Kia’s designers.
Until recently, the automotive design process relied a lot on 2D reviews on screens and powerwalls, followed by physical clay models and prototypes to further refine and develop the surfaces.
As manager of the studio’s digital department, Frank Hübbe knows all too well that a 2D model is always a projection that lacks volume. “Although you can use keyboard, mouse, and screen to work efficiently in 2D, you’ll never get a fully realistic impression of the car,” he says. Today, Kia Europe’s designers are complementing their entire workflow with virtual and mixed reality. The teams are using VR/XR technologies to make their visualization work more effective and showcase projects in new ways.
For example, designers are able to review a virtual model directly against a physical model in the same room, or even augment an existing clay model with virtual details.
“With VRED and the Varjo XR-1, you have the context of the real world and the flexibility of the virtual world,” Hübbe says.

ARM partners with VividQ to bring holographic display to mobile devices!
VividQ has announced the collaboration with Arm today. Together, they enable the integration of holographic display into AR wearables!
Holographic display addresses one of the major limitations of AR: the need for realistic depth perception. The natural depth of field in AR can be achieved with Computer-Generated Holography (CGH) powered by VividQ software. VividQ’s partnership with Arm means that holographic display is now enabled on mobile devices thanks to VividQ software’s compatibility with Arm Mali GPUs.
Realising AR’s True Potential with Holographic Display
In the past, Arm has talked about the enormous potential of augmented reality (AR) and the “limitless possibilities” of this new technology. Back in February 2020, we published a blog setting out the numerous use cases and experiences that will be enabled by AR, from navigation and translation through to ‘superpowers’, such as visual and audio enhancements. While all these experiences are incredibly exciting, not just for consumers but the wider industry as well, we need the technology in place to make it a reality.
Many have pointed to numerous different reasons why consumer AR has not yet kicked on. These reasons include the lack of content, lack of style or comfort of today’s wearable devices, the poor battery life or even the lack of a major brand name device. These are all important factors; however, one major consideration that is often over-looked is the display. I believe that the true potential of AR will not be realized until we unlock many of the challenges for the display technology, especially the need for realistic depth perception. This can be enabled by holographic display, achieved with Computer-Generated Holography (CGH).
The challenge of realistic depth
Depth perception is crucial for the human vision system to interpret what we see in the world. There are around 18 depth cues that help you determine distances between objects and their relationship to you, and each other. Your brain makes sense of these depth cues in the real world to provide an understanding about your surroundings. Should the depth cues provide conflicting information, then it can lead to confusion or even nausea.
Most of the AR wearables available today, such as smartglasses or head-mounted displays (HMDs) display digital images at one or, at best, two depth planes. It means that AR projections can often be mismatched with the real, three-dimensional world. If you look at the following illustration, images on the left show what today’s experience of using an AR wearable might be like. The bowl of apples is supposed to be placed on the sofa in the background, but it appears sharp, even if the viewer (in this case the camera) is focused on the near field. Similarly, the green virtual apple remains sharp even when we focus on the back field. To render this virtual scene correctly, we need a display technology capable of projecting multiple depth planes. Just like in the images on the right where the virtual apple and the bowl appear correctly in or out of focus depending on where we look, adapting to what our visual system expects.
Holographic projections generated using VividQ software, simulating scenarios where all virtual images are generated on a) one depth-plane and b) multiple depth-planes to match the real environment.
Holographic Display and Computer Generated Holography
Holographic displays can help to solve this issue. In fact, Arm is working with British technology start-up VividQ to enable holographic displays for richer and more comfortable AR experiences through future AR wearables, such as smartglasses.
Holographic display is the process of engineering light to project three-dimensional, virtual scenes that possess a natural depth of field (as illustrated in the right previous image). This means highly realistic AR content that integrates seamlessly with the real world, while eliminating user discomfort. Holographic display is also brighter and more power efficient than other AR display solutions, making it a viable technology for not only the next generation AR wearables, but also automotive Head-Up Displays.
CGH is the method of creating holograms digitally from various 3D data sources, from game engines to depth-sensing camera output. Each hologram is encoded with all necessary information required to display a three-dimensional scene, with depth, to the viewer. The challenge for the adoption of CGH used to be the high compute requirement, which meant that holographic display was not a viable technology for consumer electronics. However, VividQ’s software for holographic display overcomes the computational challenges traditionally associated with CGH and allows for real-time generation of holograms for AR applications on commercially available GPUs.
Arm’s partnership with VividQ
Arm is collaborating with VividQ to enable holographic display on a mobile device by making VividQ’s software compatible with Arm Mali GPUs. The collaboration will enable the integration of holographic display into future AR wearables. According to a report by ABI Research, shipments of smartglasses are expected to reach 20 million units by 2024. Due to the ubiquity of Arm IP among mass market consumer electronics, from smartphones to DTVs, this is seen as a vital collaboration to ensure the accelerated adoption and scalability of holographic display. Therefore, this partnership could help to bring improved AR experiences to millions of consumers worldwide.
Tom Durrant, Co-Founder and Chief Development Officer of VividQ says:
“Technologies, such as navigation assistance, messaging and entertainment, are now irreplaceable and becoming increasingly integrated into our lives. The migration to AR wearables and next-generation consumer electronics makes these applications more natural to use, and calls for a correspondingly natural, immersive viewing experience. VividQ provides this with CGH. We are delighted to be working with Arm towards this ambitious goal of integrating CGH in mobile devices. By combining VividQ’s software expertise with Arm’s solutions in high-performance integrated compute, we aim to jump-start the mass consumer adoption of AR with holographic display.”
Arm in AR
Our IP technology is already powering today’s leading AR-based devices and experiences. Through valued partnerships with companies like VividQ, we can address current AR challenges, particularly around display, and help to enable the next generation of AR devices. The innovation of VividQ around holographic display and CGH is helping to enhance the AR experience and ultimately enable the widespread adoption and use of AR. With Arm’s IP and support, we want to move these AR technologies to everyday consumer use.

Industry-Leading VR/AR Innovator, Bohemia Interactive Simulations, joins the VR/AR Association (VRARA)
On the heels of a recent defense industry VR award and the release of VBS4, Bohemia Interactive Simulations’ (BISim) most important product release since the release of VBS3 in 2013, the Orlando-based company is pleased to announce it has joined the VR/AR Association (VRARA).
Pioneering VR/AR/MR for Military Simulation
BISim began exploring VR’s potential for defense training in 2013 and in 2015 the BISim booth was the only I/ITSEC booth to showcase the beta version of Oculus Rift, having optimized VBS IG frame rate experience sufficiently to pass Oculus’ high standard of FPS performance. Also in 2015, BISim started working directly with military customers on VR/AR projects, most significantly with the U.S. Navy on a VR-based pilot training system that included virtual hand gestures generated through the Leap Motion system. By 2016, BISim’s VBS3 offered out-of-the-box support for the Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE.
In 2018, drawing on its extensive experience with VR/AR headsets, BISim introduced VBS Blue IG, a high-performance, 3D whole-earth image generator optimized for VR/AR/MR applications. BISim’s work has expanded to evaluating and developing VR, AR and MR systems for other military organisations and commercial integrators.
