The VR route is instead being pursued by HTC (with its VEC event happening soon) and IEEE. NVIDIA is using its program Folding@Home to help research centers in doing their research and simulations on the new coronavirus. Google MediaPipe can now track 3D objects. Who knows…. Very good news for all us Unity VR developers.

Some time ago, the most important companies of the XR ecosystem (HTC, Oculus, Microsoft, etc…) joined the Khronos Group to discuss a standard to end the fragmentation of the XR space.
