Distance TechnologiesDistance Technologies, a Finnish startup that aims to bring mixed-reality technology to any car windshield or plane cockpit, has raised 10 million euros ($11.1 million) of funding from GV, the venture capital arm of Alphabet and other investors. Distance raised the cash injection in a seed round led by GV, with existing investors FOV Ventures and Maki.vc also stumping up more cash for the startup, the company told CNBC on Thursday. Konttori was formerly chief technology officer of Varjo, another Helsinki-based mixed-reality firm. "The main difference here is that we are driven by the software," Mäkinen told CNBC. For now, Distance has had to use simple optics and normal LCD displays to demonstrate its technology to prospective partners and investors.

☆ Finnish startup Varjo launches new $3,990 mixed-reality headset to take on Apple, Microsoft
  + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Finnish mixed-reality startup Varjo on Monday launched its latest headset, the XR-4, a product it hopes to sell to large enterprise firms. The headset, which starts at a price of $3,990, is similar to those from Meta , Microsoft and Apple . Unlike consumer offerings from companies such as Meta, Varjo's headset is intended for enterprise use cases. For example, a pilot working for a major defense contractor could use it to train in a virtual reality simulation. The XR-4 headset has two 4K displays and a 50% wider field of view compared with previous-generation devices.

Инженеры Volvo Cars называют его «совершенным симулятором вождения», но для них это не просто повод побаловать своего внутреннего геймера. Инновационный симулятор смешанной реальности используется шведской компанией для достижения новых успехов в технологиях безопасности и автономного вождения. Используя передовые технологии ведущей платформы по 3D-моделированию в реальном времени Unity и финских экспертов в области виртуальной и смешанной реальности Varjo, симулятор предполагает вождение реального автомобиля по настоящим дорогам. «Совершенный симулятор» Volvo Cars был продемонстрирован вчера в прямом эфире на платформе Volvo’s Open Innovation Arena командой экспертов по инновациям. В прошлом году компания Volvo Cars вместе с Varjo стала первым автопроизводителем, который сделал возможным управление настоящим автомобилем в очках смешанной реальности.
