First up, thanks to all of you who have engaged in this topic over the last couple of weeks.
\nIt\u2019s been fun talking to lots of you and getting your insights on all things XR.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve missed my previous posts on this, then you can catch up here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let me set the scene:
\nRemember that feeling you used to have (or maybe still do have – no judgement here!) when you woke up on Christmas morning? Well hold onto your hats (or any other clothing item of your choice) my friends, because this is way better!
\nI\u2019ve got a couple of great announcements to make in this blog post!<\/p>\n

Announcement #1<\/h2>\n

I am excited to tell you that we have just released the new version of the CityEngine VR Experience!

Ever since launching the first version (2018.0) of the CityEngine VR Experience earlier in the year, we have been dependent on your feedback and comments to help us improve.
\nWe\u2019re still a small (albeit, growing!) team working on the CityEngine VR Experience, which is developed in Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n

The whole team is headed by Stefan, then there\u2019s the two Benjamin\u2019s and Marcel who do most of the development work, Fabienne who works on animations (hint hint for future releases!) and Ioanna who is actually an architect and brings in a whole different perspective and requirements.
\nThis team is in charge of turning your wishes and whims into a product that can be widely adopted and used by you.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the ways they made this happen:<\/p>\n

You said: \u201cNavigation is not very intuitive. The two controllers are a bit annoying and don\u2019t react in a way I would expect.\u201d<\/strong>
\nThe new CityEngine VR Experience uses only one controller. Amongst other things, this means that there will be no more awkward fumbling and accidental teleportation when all you want to do is point to an area.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":361441,"id":361441,"title":"One controller","filename":"tablexr.png","filesize":189415,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/city-engine\/3d-gis\/part-3-do-it-incorporate-xr-into-your-workflows\/tablexr","alt":"","author":"7041","description":"","caption":"","name":"tablexr","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":361421,"date":"2018-11-20 12:53:13","modified":"2018-11-20 12:53:29","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":939,"height":525,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":119,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":259,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":429,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","large-width":939,"large-height":525,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","1536x1536-width":939,"1536x1536-height":525,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","2048x2048-width":939,"2048x2048-height":525,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":462,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tablexr.png","wide_image-width":939,"wide_image-height":525}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

You said: \u201cI don\u2019t like that you can still see the room when I am inside my model on the table. Can you do something about that?\u201d<\/strong>
\nFunny story, the fact that you could see the room kind of happened more by accident than by design. \u2026but when we saw it we thought it was pretty cool and that we would see what people thought of it. We thought that maybe you would like it\u2026but boy were we wrong!<\/em>
\nAnyway, we abolished the office ceiling and you can now see the regular Unreal Engine sky box in the CityEngine VR Experience. Unless you\u2019ve made use of the really awesome, trueSKY Unreal Engine plugin!

Announcement #2<\/h2>\n

Before I go, I also wanted to take this opportunity to announce some awesome things happening for ArcGIS 360 VR. As you know, up until now, this would only work with a Samsung phone and the Samsung Gear VR headset. \u2026very soon though, you\u2019ll be able to use ArcGIS 360 VR together with the Oculus Go. The Oculus Go is the first ever all-in-one headset, which means that it works without a computer or phone. It retails for a couple of hundred dollars so it won\u2019t break the bank either. Win-win, if you ask me!<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed these blog posts to help bring the idea of XR closer to you! Please reach out to me if you have ideas, improvement suggestions or maybe even praise that I can pass onto the teams here and don\u2019t forget: Do it! Incorporate XR into your workflows<\/strong> so that you can be happy just like this random person here!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":354522,"id":354522,"title":"VR","filename":"vrgif.gif","filesize":1911513,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/city-engine\/3d-gis\/part-1-do-it-incorporate-xr-into-your-workflows\/vrgif","alt":"","author":"7041","description":"","caption":"","name":"vrgif","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":354512,"date":"2018-11-06 08:40:47","modified":"2018-11-20 12:59:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":338,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":120,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":338,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","large-width":600,"large-height":338,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":338,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":338,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","card_image-width":600,"card_image-height":338,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vrgif.gif","wide_image-width":600,"wide_image-height":338}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""}],"authors":[{"ID":9292,"user_firstname":"Taisha","user_lastname":"Fabricius","nickname":"Taisha Fabricius","user_nicename":"tfabricius","display_name":"Taisha Fabricius","user_email":"TFabricius@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2019-03-26 08:42:10","user_description":"Taisha Fabricius is a technology leader at the Esri R&D Center in Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland.
