This system makes the headset dependent on static hardware, however, and so top engineers at Oculus , HTC and Google are all racing to crack the inside-out code first. Amidst this clash of titans is Stereo Labs , a little-engine-that’s-trying to enable inside-out tracking on mobile VR headsets using simple, depth sensing peripherals.

As a long-time AR enthusiast, and one of the first to have tried Google Glass in Italy, I have to admit that I will consider AR mainstream only when it will be on glasses that we will wear all day , when we’ll live in a completely shared mixed reality world (the AR Cloud). Some will also feature tracked controllers.

Reducing Latency is Becoming Complex Trends Presence in VR requires low latency, and reducing latency is not easy. Low latency is also not the result of one single technique. Predictive tracking lowers perceived latency by estimating future orientation. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped.
