Creating Extended Reality (XR) Applications on AWS

Introduction This blog post introduces readers to creating extended reality (XR) applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As XR technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) continue to advance and become more accessible, their potential to transform various industries and applications is undeniable. AWS offers robust services and tools that […]

Modeling Spread of Infectious Disease Using Spatial Simulations on AWS

Spatial simulations compute the motion and behavior of dynamic entities across 2D and 3D virtual environments. These simulations allow users to explore how the behaviors of individual actors and interactions amongst a group of actors can lead to emergent spatial patterns. The authors of the blog see customers using spatial simulations for use cases such […]
