With great pleasure, we present progress on our newest solution: NUX VR, created by the 1000 realities studio team. In a nutshell, NUX VR is going to be a Voice User Interface creator for Virtual Reality allowing intuitive SDK exportation into Unreal Engine-based applications.
👇 Below we present just a few snippets from the many tests conducted with users. It's a PoC stage to show off the final functionality in an exemplar, built from the ground up, future office. Test users realized different tasks using just their voice during a virtual onboarding scenario in a new company. The users were non-native speakers with different English language skills. We were so pleased and proud to watch the users laugh, be surprised and fully engaged in conversation with Bobby, the virtual assistant. With NUX VR, the conversation in VR works like a charm!
In creating NUX VR we have set two main goals.
🔸 Firstly, to make the VR experience even more immersive by transferring the interaction from traditional holographic text labels and buttons that you press to natural voice interactions.
🔸 Secondly, to provide an intuitive, browser-based tool for creative design teams that will make it easy for them to provide this kind of experience.
Use cases of voice interactions go far beyond the futuristic corporate game that we've created:
🔸 Imagine a Harry Potter VR game where you cast spells using your voice and you can ask Hagrid to hand you tools and equipment that you need.
🔸 Or a safety training in VR when you use your voice to ask others to call the emergency services or warn people about a fire.
🔸 It would fit perfectly in industrial training scenarios, unlocking the possibility to ask a virtual tutor for guidance or a virtual assistant for help.
In what VR experiences would you like to interact with others by using your voice? 🕬
