The world received a gift three years ago, in the form of AR technology from the likes of Google and Apple - ARKit and ARCore. But at any rate, what we realized was when Google and Apple gave this gift of AR to the world just three summers ago, saying they were all-in with AR, meaning that the hardware was going to work, it was like, wow.

I think the battle with Apple has just begun. Mozilla updates its Unity WebVR exporter. Two years ago, I reviewed on this blog a Unity plugin that Mozilla had released in beta to let you create WebVR experiences from your Unity projects. Basically, projects that give value to the device and to Microsoft in general.

Although spatial technology has existed for some time, companies like Apple have spawned new interest. This requires the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Tools like the Apple Vision Pro, combined with a collaboration tool like Microsoft Teams, link the real world to digital content.

All the 3 major VR runtimes (Oculus, SteamVR, Microsoft) are now compatible with OpenXR , and this means that on the runtime layer on PC, now OpenXR has been fully integrated. This means that if you develop an experience using OpenXR, you can run it on Oculus, SteamVR, and Microsoft runtimes with no modification.

Eye Tracking Apart from sessions a few years ago using the HTC Vive Pro Eye and Microsoft Hololens, I didn’t have any experience with eye tracking. The core machine-learning algorithms interpret the camera feed to generate a real-time stream of data points such as pupil size, gaze vector, and eye openness.
