🚨 **Big News in XR!** 🚨 Reports suggest that Apple may stop producing the Vision Pro headset as early as next month due to reduced demand and production challenges. Originally launched with much fanfare, the $3,499 device aimed to revolutionize XR by blending virtual and augmented reality. However, high costs and limited content offerings have curbed its adoption. This potential pivot reflects the complexity of launching immersive tech at a premium price point. Apple may shift focus toward more affordable models in 2025, signaling a recalibration of its XR strategy. The news also raises broader questions about the future of high-end XR devices and what consumers expect from immersive experiences. At VNTANA, we believe scalability and accessibility are key to driving widespread XR adoption. As the market shifts, so does the opportunity for innovation and collaboration across industries. That's why we have always focused on web based experiences, which can be enjoyed across desktop, mobile and XR headsets. What’s your take on Apple’s decision? Is this the right move for XR? Let’s continue the conversation. https://hubs.li/Q02VXLW60 #XR #AR #VR #Innovation #Apple #VisionPro #TechNews

VNTANA reposted this
Thrilled to share that our work with Kohler has been recognized by Unity with the Best Customer Experience Award for the AR Tryout Tool! 🏆 It’s been an incredible journey collaborating with Kohler, Unity to bring their digital and XR strategy to life. To give people more confidence when making design and renovation decision, reducing uncertainty during the process is what this first AR Tryout Tool is aiming at. A great recognition for the 3D & Immersive Experience team we initiated last year! This recognition is a testament to the team’s effort and dedication, and I’m proud to have been part of building something so impactful. The foundational structure which we have built to launch Kohler to the Phygital era are less prevalent in Awards like this, but another special mention to Unity & VNTANA to working closely with us in building this unique infrastructure that will enable more immersive experiences in the future. So... a significant milestone, but only the beginning—excited to continue working with Kohler and our partners to push the boundaries even further! ( And trust me... there is more to come...) Thank you: Romina Uceda Jon F. Proeber Ashley Crowder Ben Conway Kendra Cleveland Nagesh Koritala Amol Jagtap Preet Ahluwalia Malcolm Overend Jason Bond and many other that I forgot!

What an incredible experience at the #AugmentedEnterprise Summit! It was a pleasure speaking alongside some of the top minds in immersive technology: ✨ Paul Davies – Technical Fellow, Immersive Technologies Boeing ✨ Thomas Kopec – Medical Education Senior Manager Zimmer Biomet ✨ Kevin Marcum – Program Manager, VR/AR Design Delta Air Lines ✨ Dustin Sleight – Systems Engineering Manager IDEXX ✨ Michael Hayat, MBA, PMP, CSM – Staff Project Manager Northrop Grumman ✨ Nike Adeoye, PMP – Advisor, Advanced Tech & Innovation FedEx A few key takeaways on how to measure and what we are seeing with ROI from XR: 🔹 Delta Air Lines leveraged VR to increase de-icing training from 5 sessions/day to an incredible 150 sessions/day. 🔹 Boeing used AR to streamline wiring installation on the 767 fueling tanker, not only decreasing installation time by 20% but also reducing defects by an impressive 80%. 🔹 Idexx explained it is important to align your POC with top company priorities to make a key impact in order to get funding to then scale. 🔹 Northrup debunked the myth that XR is adopted faster by younger employees, age is just a number but the more recent hires (no matter their age) were more receptive to XR It’s exciting to see how immersive technologies are driving real operational impact across industries, from aviation and aerospace to healthcare and manufacturing. I'm grateful to have shared insights from VNTANA’s work in this space and to learn from all these amazing innovators. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with immersive tech! #3D #VR #AR #DigitalTwins #AugmentedReality #ImmersiveTech #FutureOfWork #Innovation

We love working with all types of manufacturers, from shoe companies to mining equipment. If you design in 3D programs, chances are your existing DAM does not have what you need to easily and securely share and collaborate on 3D. Our co-founder Ashley Crowder had a great time at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL working with our heavy equipment manufacturers. Check out how big some of this equipment is! The 3D models are also out of this world...

🚀 Had an amazing time at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL meeting with some incredible clients who manufacture a wide variety of equipment for the mining industry! It was exciting to hear how many are not only designing in 3D using SolidWorks, Siemens NX, and other programs, but also starting to leverage digital twins for training, sales, and maintenance. A special shoutout to Kanawha Scales & Systems, LLC. for using VNTANA to create an interactive 3D walkthrough of their loadout system. The AR experience was really impressive—though I had to shrink this down for easy viewing. Check out the picture below to see just how massive some of this equipment really is! 🏗️⚙️ #3D #DigitalTwins #AR #MiningInnovation #MINExpo #IndustrialTransformation #FutureOfWork
