I’m about to dive into this cool conference coming up—AWE USA 2025. Yeah, it’s all about XR stuff. Just a heads-up: I got a little sneak peek. Maybe it’s because I have a knack for nosing around, who knows. Anyway, the shindig’s happening from June 10 to 12 in Long Beach, CA. Kinda wild, right? We get some sweet discounts on tickets, by the way. I meant to mention that sooner.
Okay, so we’re gonna be there, telling you what’s hot and what’s not. Before that, I hit up four companies, just to see what they’re hyped about showing off.
First up—CREAL. They’ve got this display, the Clarity light-field thing. They’re jazzed about having spruced it up a bit. You get to check it out through a headset or even a tabletop glasses setup. No clue why the tech behind lenses fascinates me… but it does.
Zooming over to XREAL. They’re waving these AR glasses around like they’re magic—XREAL One Series. Sounds like sci-fi, right? And they’ve got this new camera thing—XREAL EYE. Plus, they’re teasing some new gizmo. Can’t wait to see if it’s as cool as they’re making it sound.
Now, ForgeFX. Buckle up because they’re bringing VORTEX. It’s all about training in tricky situations. Drones? Lasers? Oh, and real-time analytics. It’s like they’ve taken training to some virtual next level. There’s a whole lineup of demos they’re excited about. I remember something about an excavator simulator—yeah, might’ve daydreamed about playing with that for real.
Last but not least, we have PICO. They’re showing off this fancy headset called PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise. It’s got this full-body tracking thing going. They’re pushing into education and training. Seems like they’re inviting you to dive in and see how it works. Plus, they’re doing talks on XR stuff. Might catch those if I’m not lost somewhere.
Okay, I’m done rambling. What are you hoping to see from AWE 2025? Shout it out below. Or don’t, up to you.
