The system is already used on the $3,000 HoloLens, an advanced augmented reality system, but with it employed on a low-cost VR headset Microsoft may have leapfrogged efforts by both Facebook and Google, powered by Windows. The Santa Cruz inside-out tracking prototype from Oculus. An example of the Windows Holographic user interface.

Honestly, I find it a smart idea for this moment, but I also think that HTC has to invest more to have more content on Viveport on the long term if it plans to fight with Oculus and its upcoming Quest. What is great is that this technology works with every already existing 360 videos. The 8 modes of the Vive Focus Plus.

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch). Google halves its revenues on the Play Store.

The best news of the week has not been the release of a new fantastic VR headset or AR glass, but of a technology that will make a new generation of XR headsets possible: I’m talking about the XR2 chipset by Qualcomm. That is, the Quest 2 and the Vive Focus 2 may be based on this technology. Why am I so excited?

I found very interesting that they are trying to create full-body VR content for the Oculus Quest. I have instead tried another demo for Oculus Quest called Anamika, where you impersonate a four-armed Indian goddess. They showcased a series of 360 videos shot by them and that could be enjoyed through an Oculus Go. VR Pianist.
