One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. In reality that has taken longer than expected yet hand-tracking has now caught up with VR headsets. At £5k you’re not going to be adding them to your HTC Vive kit just yet.

For sure, Facebook will repeat a bazillion times that they care about privacy and I think that in the beginning, this will be mostly true: we have seen with Oculus how Facebook takes its time and boils its users slowly like the famous frog, adding over time features to get more data for targeted ads. Magic Leap will meet its fate.

Part of all of this is merit of Jeri (Image by HTC). At Tilt Five, we designed a really clever system that only works on tabletop experiences but it has features that are just leaps and bounds above what the big Magic Leap or HoloLens type AR systems are. That’s where I got started with augmented reality.

If we exclude the major tech companies (Facebook, Valve, etc…) and the meteor Magic Leap, this is the first VR company to reach this status, and this is another sign of the health of the virtual reality ecosystem. From this, we can see if it can be a reliable competitor for the HTC Tracker 3.0. More info.

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. GB: Magic Leap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Ellsworth: VR is amazing.

This idea is used in mainline Quests, Pico headsets, Valve Index, HP Reverbs, Oculus Go, and the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. HoloLens 2, Magic Leap 2, iPhone Pro, and iPad Pro automatically scan your room and create a 3D mesh, which apps leverage for collision and occlusion between virtual and real objects.

Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised. Sony Playstation.

In the future I expect to see a lot more information visualization, data visualization, finding completely new ways to analyze data, symbolically and spatially. It’s– I think another thing that will make a big difference and it doesn’t seem like a big thing, but eye tracking. It really– it feels right.

It is the console business model: selling the hardware undercost so that subsidize it with exclusive software, and your data in this case. You’re paying only $299 because you are not paying only with your money, but also with the data that Facebook will harvest from you to propose to you better ads. Accessories.
