XR Immersive Tech focus for the second half of 2024:

Sales and Licensing Deals for the company’s LBVR Platform, as well as its AI Applications including the AI Avatar Clone, DigitalTwinX and AI LipDub tools.

Building out VR/AR Education, Training, and R&D services in the Enterprise sector. It is much safer to train professionals in the healthcare industry, architecture , automation and aircraft design and many others. It is much cheaper to use VR/AR than real-life test fields.

AI Powered Creative Agency. As part of expanding the company’s capabilities and exposure to high-growth industries, the Company has formed a team of creative professionals that specialize in graphics, video and visual effects editing to leverage the latest tools using AI (artificial intelligence) to create stunning content and marketing solutions for brands and companies. The products and content range from serving the rapidly growing influencer market to a new pilot film that uses AI to craft its visual effects.

AI Applications. When it comes to LBVR studios, AI can be used to generate worlds and relatively random environments. This increases the replayability value and the world generation cost can be significantly reduced. It makes even more sense for XR games that use the camera's passthrough mode to add virtual elements to your actual environment. AI could better recognize the environment and generate obstacles and maps intact with your physical environment. This can be further improved by using asset generation through a more human-like AI. It has a similar use case for enterprise training and education. Developing a quality and detailed VR experience takes a lot of effort, AI is light-speeding the process.
