Global social media giant Facebook has partnered with a Chinese selfie app called Meitu to bring Augmented Reality features to the Facebook camera. The partnership was formed under the banner of Facebook's AR Studio Beta to launch three exclusive camera effects, called Selfie from the Future, Meitu Family and Instant Glam. Since the first Meitu app was released in 2008, Meitu has registered over 1.1 billion unique downloads and records over 500 million active users. The Chinese tech company is valued at over 5.3 billion dollars.
It's been a dream of humans to fly through the sky at least since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although we now have jetpacks and wingsuits, there wasn't a way for us to experience the sensation of flying between skyscrapers until now. This is Birdly, a virtual reality flying simulator that, unlike Red Bull, actually gives you wings. People were seen flapping virtual wings on Birdly at the 2017 SXSW festival on Wednesday. Birdly, the full-body virtual reality flying simulator, combines VR, music, and a wind generator to create the sensation of flying. Users flat their arms on the machine to flap wings in the simulation and generate lift. The idea for Birdly was conceived for a research project at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2013 and it was brought out onto the market in December 2015. How would you like to be free as a bird?
Lausanne (Switzerland), Oct 7 (EFE) .- The caves of Mogao, in China, contain one of the most important collections of Buddhist art in the world, but even if one had the will, time and money to visit them could not do so because almost all - including the most spectacular - are closed to the public.FOOTAGE FROM THE DIGITAL ART EXHIBITION AT THE EXHIBITION CENTRE OF THE ÉCOLE POLYTECHNIQUE EDIQUE EDIQUE LÉLÉIQUE LÉLÉLÉIQUE POLYTECHNIQUE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL) SOUNDBITES FROM SARAH KENKERDINE, CURATOR OF THE EXHIBITION

Google is buying a team of engineers from HTC’s smartphone division… for 1.1 billion dollars. Google isn’t buying a direct stake in HTC. It instead will have licensing rights to HTC’s intellectual property. The billion-dollar deal doesn’t mean the end of HTC’s smartphone business, but analysts predict its days are numbered. With 1.1 billion dollars in hand HTC is expected to concentrate on next generation tech, including developing its VR business. There’s also a high chance HTC will form closer ties with Google in the development of AR and VR applications.
As virtual reality tech develops, we are discovering new uses for VR every day. Any mechanic will tell you how many parts any vehicle can have, and how it's not always clear what repairs are needed to fix an issue. The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research displayed its VR solution for car repairs, which allows users to see a full 3D model of all the parts a car can have, at the 2017 CeBIT digital expo in Hanover on Sunday, . The system is designed specifically for mechanics, but may soon be available commercially. The technology can be used to show a mechanic where he has to look for repairs inside a car or where to install the corresponding part, among other tasks. Held annually in Hanover, CeBIT is one of the world's largest tech trade fairs and will go on until March 24.
