Luxid has unveiled a new AI-driven augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) platform aimed at digitizing the venue discovery process for hotel sales. This innovative tool is particularly tailored to address operational challenges in segments such as meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE), destination weddings, corporate events, and large-scale banquets. Traditionally, these sectors represent a significant portion of revenue for many premium hotel prop

For years, recursive self-improvement has been one of AI's most debated theoretical milestones — the point at which a system becomes capable of making itself meaningfully smarter without human intervention. Most researchers treated it as a distant horizon. Weco AI just published evidence suggesting it may already be in the rearview mirror. The company's AIDE² system, detailed on the Weco blog, achieved something researchers have long theorized but rarely demonstrated experime

There is a quiet crisis unfolding in classrooms every day. A child stares at a math problem, guesses, erases, guesses again. A teacher marks the answer wrong and moves on. What nobody records is the hesitation, the number of attempts, the specific type of error — the behavioral fingerprint of a mind that isn't failing, but struggling in a very particular way. By the time a formal assessment flags the problem, months of foundational learning may already be lost. Researchers at

For years, smart glasses have existed in a kind of technological purgatory — impressive in demos, awkward in practice, and perpetually one killer feature away from mainstream relevance. Alibaba may have just found that feature, or rather, a bundle of them. A major software update to Alibaba's Qianwen AI-powered glasses has quietly turned the wearable into something far more compelling than a heads-up notification display. The update integrates a suite of practical, everyday s

The smart glasses market has spent the last two years chasing one template — a camera-enabled, AI-connected wearable that blurs the line between fashion accessory and surveillance device. Solos is now pushing back on that monoculture with a two-pronged strategy: a stripped-down, camera-free model aimed at weight-conscious users, and a set of privacy tools designed to make camera models more socially acceptable. It's an unusually self-aware move from a category that has largel

Smart glasses have always been a technology in search of a purpose. Google Glass arrived too early and too awkwardly. Meta's Ray-Bans are stylish but lean heavily on social features. Now Newline is entering the arena with a different value proposition entirely — one aimed squarely at the business professional who needs more than a camera on their face, but an intelligent assistant they can wear. The company's new NewGlasses line is built around a core idea: that the most usef

Alipay has quietly made one of its most ambitious infrastructure moves yet, launching an AI Open Platform that allows merchants to transform their existing digital services into AI-powered capabilities deployable across a growing range of smart devices. The platform, currently available through invitation-based testing, signals a significant shift in how China's dominant payments super-app is positioning itself for an AI-first future. What the Platform Actually Does The core

Uttar Pradesh launches double-decker food trucks with AR-VR lounges. Explore how Lucknow combines gastronomy with immersive tech innovation

Forget memorizing the steps of digestion from a dog-eared textbook. Students at two schools in the Tambaram Corporation limits can now walk through the human digestive system. They can step inside a beating heart and watch blood move through chambers in real time. For kids in Classes 3 through 12, science class just got a radical upgrade. The Tambaram Corporation has commissioned two augmented and virtual reality labs — one at Hasthinapuram and another at Zameen Royapet — at

At AWE USA in Long Beach, MultiSet AI clinched the coveted Auggie Award for Best Developer Tool. This win underscores the growing importance of independent validation over vendor claims when choosing a virtual private server (VPS) solution. Every tech vendor boasts about their product's accuracy, scalability, and ease of use. However, most teams lack the time, resources, or hardware to thoroughly test multiple platforms. Consequently, many developers base their VPS decisions

India’s AI ambition is no longer just a vision—it is building its new address. Dayananda Sagar University (DSU) proudly announces the ongoing development of India’s first AI Factory, powered by NVIDIA.

At Rourkela Steel Plant, safety is no longer just a checklist—it’s an immersive experience. Through Project Nischay, the plant has trained 9,633 employees and executives using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to strengthen workplace safety and build a culture of accident prevention. Instead of traditional classroom sessions, workers step into virtual simulations of real workplace hazards. They learn how to identify risks, assess dangers, and respond effectively

At this year's AWE conference, an update to the Visual Positioning System (VPS) was unveiled, marking a significant leap forward in spatial computing. The new MultiSet VPS Gen2 is the result of a comprehensive rebuild, designed to tackle one of the most critical challenges in the field: avoiding confident, yet incorrect, identifications. The development team behind MultiSet AI has been working tirelessly to address this issue, which can have severe consequences in application

Telegram Ban in India: A Misguided Response to Exam Leaks As the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) re-examination approaches on June 21, India has taken a drastic measure to prevent cheating: blocking the popular messaging platform Telegram. But why did the government single out Telegram while allowing WhatsApp to operate normally? The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued the order under Section 69A of the IT Act, citing concerns over

AutoVRse Raises $2.4M to Build the Industrial AI Brain

In a landmark move to modernize public education, Tamil Nadu’s school education minister Rajmohan has unveiled plans to introduce artificial intelligence (AI), coding, and immersive technologies like augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) across 5,000 government schools on a pilot basis. Speaking after his first departmental review meeting, Rajmohan emphasized that infrastructure upgrades will be the first step toward implementation. “We have seen students benefitting from pla
