* '''WebXR Export for Unity''' -- Last week we mentioned we’d updated our WebXR Emulator Extension to add support for Augmented Reality through the new WebXR API, and this week we’re happy to announce we’ve added support for WebXR to our Unity Exporter. Unity’s real-time 3D development platform lets artists, designers and developers work together to create amazing immersive and interactive experiences, across a wide range of development and end-user environments. Through our Unity Exporter any real-time 3D experience can be packaged for the delivery on the web, and now with both AR and VR support. Read more about it and see a sample video in the post on our [https://blog.mozvr.com/unity-webxr-exporter-update/ Mixed Reality Blog].
* '''Word Embedding Research''' -- An important way of enhancing the accuracy of automated speech recognition is to look beyond just the sounds that people utter and realize that words occur in context in patterns that can be recognized too. The probability of a particular word occurring can, in part, be inferred from words that most often occur around it. Our Speech and Machine Learning team has just had a paper on our work in that approach, known as “word embedding”, accepted at the prestigious [https://acl2020.org/ Annual Conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics]. We’ll be presenting that work at the all on-line conference in June.
* '''WebAssembly meets Kubernetes with Krustlet''' -- Microsoft’s Azure team published a [https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2020/04/07/announcing-krustlet-kubernetes-rust-kubelet-webassembly-wasm/ blog post] last week describing their initial release of Krustlet, a project exploring use of WebAssembly modules in Kubernetes. The core idea of Krustlet is to leverage WebAssembly’s unique advantages with Kubernetes to work in constrained and security-conscious environments -- places where containers have a harder time. Microsoft’s Krustlet project leverages Rust as well as our recent [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/03/standardizing-wasi-a-webassembly-system-interface/ WebAssembly outside the browser] work, and is a great example of why we’re so excited about this technology area.
