ISTANBUL, TURKEY, November 3, 2022 – EON Reality, Inc. (“EON Reality”), a global leader in Virtual and Augmented Reality (“XR”) industry and education solutions, announces a bevy of new products, features and tools within its platform at the EON Experience Fest 2022 event in Istanbul on Thursday, October 27, 2022.

Fundamentally, EON Reality believes that knowledge is a human right, and making experiential knowledge transfer available, accessible and affordable for everyone on the planet goes a long way to achieve this. EON Reality understands the power of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and know that XR solutions enable users to learn faster, retain information longer, and make better decisions, as seen in the study “How does VR perform as a training tool for soft skills?” by PricewaterhouseCoopers at https://www.pwc.com/us/en/tech-effect/emerging-tech/virtual-reality-study.html.

As such, EON Reality is excited to announce that the next phase of our offerings’ successful development will be focused around incorporating AI into everyday use to enhance and augment people to levels of efficiency and understanding that we’ve never before possessed. Take a look at our new products, features, and in-development tools entitled EON Marketplace, EON Universal, EON Knowledge Worlds, EON Illuminate, EON Interact, EON Metaverse Builder Automations, EON-XR Modernization and EON AI below.

PRODUCTS

EON Interact

Spatial AI, XR, AI, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, industry, technology, virtual reality headset, knowledge, future, education

EON Interact is the next level of content interactions with EON Reality’s solutions. While you can currently interact with objects in a number of basic ways, EON Interact brings a level of detail and complexity to them that has never before existed. Different locations, parts, triggers and conditions can all be added, so no two objects are ever the same.

  • Dynamic objects — Whether a simple or complex object, the 3-D models within each experience can now react in different ways to different triggers. Whether that’s rotating to a certain angle or taking a specific action, the reaction will always be customizable by the creator.
  • Realistic multi-step processes — EON Reality’s solutions have long been a go-to for those looking to show long and complicated processes in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. But until now, users were only able to learn the correct order in which to do things by taking an assessment and seeing which steps they made incorrectly. With EON Interact, creators can change the object to “unlock” the next step only after the previous one has been completed — or even change other aspects of it entirely depending on which actions are taken when.
  • Complex interactions — In addition to the basic features like “Rotate” or “Spin” or “Open,” users will be able to perform more complex interactions with many objects, such as changing how gravity affects it or how its processes work.

EON Knowledge Worlds

EON Knowledge Worlds is the creation of an entire digital world, where users can buy, sell and trade land and other objects to fill with their own content and experiences. It is also our first integration of NFT features and a completely new consumer-facing use of EON Reality’s groundbreaking technology.

  • 2-D map interface — Navigate through a 2-D map and access both public and user-created meeting spaces
  • Buy and sell land — Buy or sell land in an EON Knowledge World and populate it with the user’s own user-created interactive content.
  • Fully customizable avatars — With a host of new creation options and features, users can design their own avatars to truly represent themselves.
  • Instant multi-user access — One button click is all that’s needed to access any accessible land parcel and meet up with anyone already there.
  • Building content — Every EON Knowledge World will feature a predefined library of content-building materials, as well as third-party libraries like SketchFab and CGTrader.
  • 3-D spatial audio — 3-D spatial audio is used both for private avatar discussions as well as local media consumption. The audio proximity is configurable.
  • Integrated payment system — Using Smart Contract (ERC-721), users can purchase virtual land using cryptocurrency and receive NFT tokens as proof of ownership.
  • Virtual room optimization — Once a room is full, the next user enters a new virtual meeting room automatically. This guarantees a smooth experience without overloading normal smartphone capacity.
  • Simultaneous multi-user interactions — All users can interact simultaneously with all interactive content and media in the scene, independently or collectively.

FEATURES

EON Marketplace

The EON Marketplace is where users and institutions will be able to buy existing experiences and sell their own. Through this model, those in need of extra hyper-specific content will be able to find what they’re looking for, while those who have spent long hours creating hundreds or thousands of lessons can monetize those lessons.

  • Open XR market — Buy and sell experiences from any of EON Reality’s partnered institution via the public XR library. 
  • Immediate payment — Users can sell their experiences and get payment immediately after its purchase.
  • Specialized content — Because everyone has different specialties, users can purchase various high-quality content pieces created by subject matter experts around the world to be used in their institution.
  • EON-XR payment system — The EON Marketplace will primarily use STRIPE as a payment system to reach as many countries as possible in the world.

EON Universal

EON Universal

EON Universal’s focus is simple: bring every piece of EON content created on to every device. We’re beginning this very soon with an early 2023 rollout that allows users to create experiences on their smartphones and then utilize them in full immersion with most of the common head-mounted devices.

  • Hardware-agnostic device support — Beginning with support for Meta Quest (1 & 2), HTC Vive Pro, HoloLens (1 & 2) and Magic Leap 2 in Q1 2023.
  • Full integration with EON-XR — Any experience created via EON-XR can be brought into full immersion headsets. Users can create on their phone and access it on any supported HMD.
  • Multi-user sessions across modalities — Later in 2023, we will support multi-user sessions between different types of devices. HMDs, tablets, PCs and smartphones will all be able to participate in the same session.

EON Illuminate

EON Illuminate will introduce persistent tracking to the EON suite, meaning that users will be able to anchor experiences to specific locations for some or all users to see. The proximity-based technology will allow users both in-person and around the world to join the same sessions and experience the same content together.

  • Cloud-based anchoring — Experience anchors are stored in the cloud and accessed when in physical proximity.
  • Geologication — Share and anchor an experience to a remote location for others to experience at that physical place.
  • Different location, same environment — Scan, create, anchor and invite. Lock your scanned environment and invite others to interact in your real “living room.”
  • Persistent tracking —  Anchor and lock a specific experience to a physical space anywhere in the world.
  • Multiple anchors for higher precision — Position and lock a Metaverse Builder experience with multiple anchors for higher accuracy on each object.
  • Public or private — Determine who can share, access, distribute, and assign lessons to groups as well as physical location.
  • Multi-user sessions at the same location — Several users at the same physical location can collaborate and interact together with an experience, using their real bodies instead of their avatars.
  • Persistent Metaverse Builder — Anchor an “unlimited” number of segments within the same experience to create an entire persistent interactive environment.
  • Automatic proximity detection — Automatically load relevant experiences when within a certain distance of their location.
  • Anchor filtering — Depending on user profile and experience sharing configuration, users at the same location can access different content.

EON Metaverse Builder Automations

There’s no denying that EON Metaverse Builder is already an extremely powerful tool, but the creation of content often required 60+ clicks and adjustments for users to finish building their experience. Through the power of AI and automations, we’ve managed to cut that number down below 15 clicks per experience, meaning that it now takes mere seconds to create a full EON Metaverse Builder experience.

  • Automated Knowledge and Assessment Portals — Knowledge Portals and Assessment Portals can use AI to automatically generate based on an asset’s name and appear as soon as the asset is loaded. 
  • Streamlined asset accessibility — The search function is now streamlined to easily find optimized content and can be based around features like curated annotations and animations.
  • AI-assisted avatar guidance — Just like a tutor in real life, an AI assistant will accompany learners, teaching and reading out the assessment questions while they are performing the activities. These AI tutors are made with realistic synthesized voices, lip-syncing and animations. 
  • More streamlined Knowledge Portal creation — In addition to the aforementioned automation changes, we have greatly reduced the steps to create Knowledge Portals and streamlined the knowledge injection process.

EON-XR Modernization

Our oldest solution, EON-XR, has received a brand new look and feel. Updated social features mean EON-XR users will see dynamically created content based on their interests and be able to interact with experiences in all new ways. Plus, users will enjoy a modernized new look, a personalized homepage, and a new (and easier) categorization system and search function.

  • Dynamic content — Users will see dynamically created selections on their new personalized homepage based on their interests. These will also include a variety of other categories to get started on, such as “Editors’ Choice,” “Popular Authors,” “Most Views” and “Trending Now.”
  • Social media functions — In order to better understand the user’s wants and needs within EON-XR, we’ve unveiled engaging new social media functions for the platform, such as the new “Like,” “Follow” and “Comment” functions. 
  • Scorecard — While introducing social media functionality to EON-XR, we’ve also developed a “scorecard” for the user’s homepage, which reports the total views, likes, followers and hits to their content. 
  • New categorization system — A new and more intuitive “Categories” system has been created to easily categorize content both for creation and usage. 
  • Improved search — The app’s search function has also been improved to return with more and faster results across experiences, assets and marketplace items.

IN DEVELOPMENT

EON AI

EON AI is EON Reality’s upcoming AI platform for learning, training and performing. With a targeted release date of Q4 2023, EON AI marks the future of EON Reality, bringing an Artificial Intelligence-based digital companion to users’ everyday lives just as EON-XR introduced XR learning and training.

  • Conversation learning — Through an EON AI Assistant, users will be able to have ongoing discussions about any subject they wish to know more about. Rather than just watching videos or interacting with an object, users will have full conversations about the topics that most interest them.
  • Creative image, video and 3D — With AI-based artwork on the rise, EON AI Creator will improve existing possibilities to new levels. Utilizing a deep text-to-image, -video and -3D model creator, the technology will be able to transform any space into an educational scenario or relaxing sanctuary at the blink of an eye.
  • AI training procedure — Similarly to how the EON AI Assistant can lead and participate in academic conversations, the EON AI Trainer will guide users through complex tasks and procedures. From plumbing and electrical work to engineering and mechanics, EON AI Trainer can be the hands-on instructor for learning a new skill or trade.
  • Contextual learning — An EON AI Guide will provide users with a substantially better understanding of their immediate surroundings and environment. The guide will be able to identify information based on location, video recognition, and even daily habits and routines as if they were a tour guide and personal assistant wrapped into one.
  • AI performance enhancement — EON Reality has long believed that technology will help people reach their “Human 2.0” state eventually, but now we are closer than ever with AI. EON AI will be able to learn who you are and what you need, and improve your abilities in many facets of your everyday life.

The announcement of the new offerings took place during EON Reality’s massive EON Experience Fest event in Istanbul, Turkey at the Pera Palace Hotel. As per usual, the two-day event featured a number of updates, demonstrations and discussions about EON Reality’s offerings, and was attended by several government officials, academic administrators and business owners from around the world.

 

“The world is moving toward Artificial Intelligence, and I believe that we here at EON Reality are poised to do so more smoothly than nearly anyone else due to our experience with contextual information, guidance assistance and performance-enhancing technology,” says EON Reality Founder, Chairman and CEO Dan Lejerskar. “I have long discussed the evolution of ‘Human 2.0,’ as I have called it, but I realized that the future is not a different type of human, but a way for all of us to augment ourselves and reach new heights with the help of technology and Artificial Intelligence. I cannot wait to show everyone what EON Reality has in store in the coming years.”

 

Prior to the event, EON Reality had already developed the de-facto standard for XR education and industry solutions with EON-XR, which supports devices from mobile phones to head-mounted displays to large-scale screens and even entire facilities. As a result of the culmination of years of work with global enterprises and world-class academic institutions, EON-XR serves as the primary product and content delivery vehicle for XR education and industry solutions in the knowledge metaverse.
