GDXR founder and Lead XR Developer Jonathan Bardwell shares his perspective on the future of extended reality. Explore how VR, AR and mixed reality are evolving, their growing professional applications and the opportunities ahead for immersive technology.

XR training can reduce repeat costs, improve safety and make practical learning easier to scale but it isn’t right for every scenario. We examine the business case, compare traditional training costs and explain when standalone VR can deliver the strongest return.

The most important improvement with Forward Rendering is how much more efficient it is on mobile GPUs, which is critical for maintaining the high frame rates required for VR experiences on any platform.

Unlike traditional games that render to a single screen, VR applications must render the scene twice per frame, once for each eye. This effectively doubles the rendering workload. To maintain a comfortable experience (Reduce motion sickness), most mobile VR headsets require the developer to hit a minimum of 72 FPS such as the pico and Meta VR headsets. With some others requiring you to target 90 FPS minimum.
