Journey's Edge - Episode 1

In this episode, Kristian Bouw speaks with Peter Wais about the problems associated with declining high-fidelity long term memory (LTM) in older adults and how interactive video games can be used to combat this decline as the brain ages. In this particular research, Peter and his team developed a spatial wayfinding game in Virtual Reality to evaluate whether this particular medium could be used as a cognitive intervention to improve high fidelity long term memory of older adults.

We're happy to announce a long-time effort we've been leading with the North Penn School District and Unity to launch the first Spatial Computing Program for high school students in North America. The new Spatial Computing Program offered at North Penn High School, starting August 2021, will provide students with the unique opportunity to learn how to design, develop, and publish Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications. With the growing disparity between the supply of AR/VR creators and the increasing demand for this talent in the marketplace, we view this partnership to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow as some of our most important work to date.
