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.

As John Riccitiello (CEO of Unity) said some years ago , the VR market won’t be interesting enough until it will reach the 10 million users mark. “He has one million cars collecting data of the world. They are collecting data of the world surrounding them and Tesla is building amazing maps out of that.

Data decoding: Spatial computing solutions need to understand our actions and decode the instructions we give through gestures, speech, and more. Some organizations focus heavily on hand tracking. For instance, Ultraleap offers state-of-the-art hand-tracking tools to monitor even minute movements at your fingertips.

Also because you have to consider that with 170M users using this camera-based app, it won’t be that difficult for Snap to gather data to build the AR Cloud. Unity details its MARS solution. Two new interesting demos for Quest hands tracking. This is a move that you must not underestimate. Keep an eye on Snap.

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. We can track wands… this [shows a device in front of the camera] is our six degrees of freedom wand that comes with it.

There is no point if you have face tracking and it doesn’t work well… and the positional tracking alone is very difficult to provide well even for established companies (only Oculus’s one is very fluid) In the video they say confusing things like “R&D is cheap now” (really? AMD releases its new RX6 graphics cards.

Yeah, the 3D model of the trainer seems taken from the Unity Asset Store… Samsung has not talked about the glasses, not even revealing the name, or the specifications. And in fact, Neon reminds me a bit too much Magic Leap’s Mica project. Learn more on: Road To VR (CREAL hands-on) Road To VR (CREAL funding).

In the future I expect to see a lot more information visualization, data visualization, finding completely new ways to analyze data, symbolically and spatially. But I think we can stay on the cartoonish side of things as long as we hope things like eye tracking and hand tracking. It really– it feels right.

This is done by extracting some features from the four camera streams of the environment, mixing these data together and creating a sparse point cloud of the space around the device.

Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. Turning Data into Information Trends A stream of XYZ hand coordinates is useful. Smart software can turn data into higher-level information. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction. Magic Leap is not commercial yet.

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.
