XR data analytics firm CORTEXR has launched its platform on Tuesday to standardise virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VR/AR/MR) technologies as well as the Metaverse. The new tool leverages cognitive science and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor six degrees of freedom (6DoF) behaviours and movements such as attention, immersion, and navigation in virtual spaces. The announcement comes just after three years of research and development (R&D) and beta testing with several global firms, leading to a unified solution for monitoring data analytics for the Metaverse. Gaming engine plugins would gather sensor data from numerous devices and headsets and analyse spatial data in real-time via the cloud, with measurements recorded and viewed in bespoke dashboards. Eye, gaze, and hand-tracking were also key to learning user behaviours and interactions with immersive content, the survey continued.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Youssef al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric who was seen as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and became the Islamist “voice of revolution” during the popular uprisings around the Arab world more than a decade ago, died Monday at the age of 96. He studied at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, the leading center of Sunni Muslim scholarship, and became involved with the Brotherhood. A U.S. diplomatic cable from 2005 published by WikiLeaks said Qatar, a strong backer of the Brotherhood, gave al-Qaradawi “substantial properties" and income. In Egypt, al-Qaradawi threw his weight fully behind the Brotherhood-led government, headed by a veteran of the group, Mohammed Morsi. Ahmed Mussa, a prominent pro-government TV host, called al-Qaradawi “the biggest inciter of terrorism” and blamed him for attacks inside Egypt.
