With ARKit you can also track your face, and some developers have started also using it as an animation tool. Both systems also track images, and so you can use ARKit and ARCore as you used Vuforia before. Feature comparison between ARCore, ARKit and the Unity Handheld AR SDK (Image by Unity).

First of all, there are going to be a number of different privacy issues, like the biometric data that could be collected from virtual reality technologies including eye tracking, attention, heart rate, emotional states, body language, and even EMG muscle data or EEG brainwaves. — Andy Durdin (@adurdin) May 24, 2016.

When I attended the Experiential Technology Conference in May 2016, I heard from a number of commercial off-the-shelf brain-control interface manufacturers that their systems would not natively work with VR headsets because there are some critical portions on the head that are occluded by VR headset straps.

So, what exactly can users expect from this anticipated follow-up to the original 2016 device? The addition of eye-tracking injects a new layer of interactivity to the user experience. EYE-TRACKING AND VOICE COMMAND. Everything about the MR device has been greatly improved in its second iteration.

When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eye tracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.

In the end, I still believe in the old predictions of Unity CEO John Riccitiello: Look at this graph shown by Mr. Riccitiello in 2017: the purple line is the one of the analysts, while the white one is the one forecasted by him. This is perfectly normal and in line with what that genius that answers to the name of Michael Abrash has said.

Mirror Lake includes holographic lenses, reverse passthrough (people can see your eyes when you wear it), varifocal, and eye-tracking in a single very lightweight device. For every one of the four main themes, a headset solving it has been shown in the video. You may wonder why Zuck has decided to pull out of this showcase.

John Riccitiello -- the CEO of Unity -- was one of the first to point out that there was going to be this great sort of gold rush of people who were going to overhype VR and its potential, and then we're going to see this gap of a disappointment where the early reality didn't match up with the hype and a lot of people were going to bail on it.

With HoloLens v1 there were absurd limitations regarding the maximum allowed polygons in a Unity scene (like 20K polygons), so almost every produced program run sloppy. I expect with this one to switch to at least 100K polygons in every Unity AR game. So I guess that we’ll have full hands tracking in HoloLens v2.
