Do you love animated movies such as Moana, Minions and Zootopia? Do you love to play adventure, racing and sports games? Animation technology makes these creations possible in the entertainment and gaming industries. However, its application goes far beyond these domains. Extended Reality (ER) is the combination of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and related technologies.
The process of animating three-dimensional objects and characters with motion is known as 3D animation. This technology has advanced beyond creating visuals to creating immersive experiences. The metaverse, for example, is expected to shape how we connect as humans for living and work.
