Fixes and Performance Enhancements

With the EON-XR 10.4 update, authentication issues have been resolved, and several performance improvements have been implemented to ensure seamless and error-free learning experiences.

Use Case Example

Imagine a student using Quest 2 to explore a virtual engineering workshop. The AI avatar guides them through the operations of complex machinery, explaining each component in real time. As the student interacts with different tools, they can ask questions like, “How do I operate this machine?” The AI avatar responds with a detailed step-by-step explanation, providing an interactive and intuitive learning experience that would be difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Quote from Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality

“The integration of AI chat and avatars on HMDs  into our Spatial AI  platform represents a major leap forward in immersive learning,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “By combining the power of AI with the interactivity of XR, we are able to offer learners an experience that is not only more engaging but also more effective. This is the future of education—one where learning is personalized, interactive, and incredibly immersive.”

Why AI Chat & Avatar Integration is a Game-Changer

AI avatars and chat functionalities on HMDs redefine the learning experience, providing real-time support and a more personal approach to education. The ability to interact with avatars that guide, explain, and assist during lessons allows learners to feel more connected to the content, improving engagement and retention rates. With the integration, learners are no longer passive participants; they actively shape their learning journey by interacting directly with the AI assistant.
