You all know that I love Brain-Computer Interfaces, and so I have been very happy when NextMind has proposed to give me a sample of its brain-reading sensor to review here on my blog. It is a sensor for object interactions that can be used inside innovative UI/UX, in VR and not. But does its device live up to the hype?

All the reviewers highlight it is better than Quest 2, but for most people, there is no real value to justify the $1500 price tag yet.

The conference was held in Altspace VR, but it was not like the usual Altspace meeting, because first of all his avatar (and some other ones) were made with volumetric capture, and then the visuals of the surroundings were amazing and some parts were even interactive.

And if this CES has been a bit of a disappointment in general, this holds even more for AR and VR, for which we have no crucial announcement. The gloves are now fully wireless (do you remember the thick cables with the big box that I had to set up??) We had no big reveal, no breakthrough innovation showcased. Senseglove Nova.

It’s Monday again, so it’s time for a new roundup of the coolest AR and VR news of the week!

Honestly, the launch moment has been a bit underwhelming because Zuck decided to focus the keynote more on AI than on Quest 3 , but for us in the VR field, this has been the most important moment. Yes, the Quest 3 will be able to provide some sort of very rough full-body tracking , which is great for social VR experiences.

It seems that more than 300 people worked on the project, which was headed by Clay Bavor, the head of AR/VR efforts at Google. This can be a great idea, considering the fact that Google already successfully did it for mobile phones and that in VR we had a company, Valve, which did something similar for PCVR.
