We don’t know who originated the leak… but honestly, considering the perfect timing to generate hype for Facebook Connect, and the fact that it just shows a bit without showing too much… well, I have some suspects… (Do you remember the “leak” about Quest 2 some days before Facebook Connect 1 and timely before Apple Event?

And it also makes me super-happy that no one is about Facebook and Apple… I was getting pretty bored in writing newsletters only about these two companies! Even if they are just concept videos, they are a massive piece of news anyway. I wonder if something similar could be employed for 360 videos….

View your 360° video projects in realtime on a HTC Vive. During Apple’s June developer conference, we finally got a glimpse of what we’ve all been patiently waiting for—Apple embracing VR. And with the launch of the new iMac Pro today, Apple is positioning it as the ideal machine for VR development.

I picked Unity as the game engine because it is one of the best ones out there, I’m good at using it, it has a great community that can support you in case of issues, and it is also the first engine to be compatible with XR headsets when they’re out: Apple itself talked about Unity during the announcement of the Vision Pro.

We started working really early on with the DK-1 from Kickstarter, testing, playing around with Unity, seeing what we could do, up to now where we're easily 200+ commercially funded, brand funded XR experiences. As we know, some of the big guys -- including Apple -- are really not far from market. Daniel: Totally, totally.

You have video that you’re doing; maybe think about how 360 video could enhance the experience, or bring it a step further. Alan: So let’s talk about the outlier here, and the one that is kind of on everybody’s mind: Apple Glasses. I don’t know the timeline around Apple. Rori: Yeah.

From time to time, I like to look at the adoption graph of XR shown by John Riccitiello (the CEO of Unity) in 2017 , where you can see that the real acceleration of immersive technologies should start around 2022-2023. Yes, it’s a lot of time, but these are realistic projections.

Apple featured it a whole bunch of times. Just take 360 video, for example. We've been working with Unity's Reflect team. Alan: It's interesting you say that, because everybody in the world was moving towards glTF, until Apple said, "Oh yeah, we got our own one!" laughs] Alan: [laughs] "By the way, we're Apple.

If you need a device that has an Apple-like stylish appearance, then the Go is the device you’re looking for. And then on the Focus, there is the preview utility developed by me to test the content you’re creating in Unity without building it! The Go and the Focus have a completely different style.

I remember years ago — I think it was probably, I want to say about five years ago — we had a Unity session in our office, where we did Unity development basics, and we invited a lot of companies from the area in Austin to come to our office, and we would run a Unity training session around 2D/3D asset development.

I think people were all moving towards glTF, and then Apple decided, “hey, we got our own file format, USDZ” — how do you manage a hundred different…? We were launching partners of Apple for USDZ and we’re working on it. I guess it would be still Unity, for now. So we will, yes. Alan: Perfect.

For sure the announcement at FC and the release date in 2021 have been studied to put some pressure on Apple , which seems to be the only rival to Facebook for what concerns the AR future. I’m a developer, where is Unity, where is Visual Studio? Otherwise, it just becomes a gimmick that you use for 1 hour.
