I’ve been a big fan of the cute little Samsung Gear 360 camera since its first unveiling in the spring of 2016, and always recommend it to people inquiring about the best consumer-friendly 360 cameras out there. The cost is lower than the 2016 version with a pricetag of $229 and you can record in up to 4K resolution.

The numbers are good if we compare the Quest to other VR headsets (probably the Rift has sold 1M units since 2016… so 400,000 units in few months is a good number), but are bad in the grand scheme of things : the Nintendo Switch, which Oculus compares the Quest to, has sold over 36M consoles since launch.

While everyone counted on Magic Leap to bring AR eye-wear to the masses, what Magic Leap did in-fact was lend a stigma to Augmented Reality with unfulfilled promises. However the positives that came with the Magic Leap debacle is, it renewed an interest in competitors and entrepreneurs to do AR right.

If they will prove to be successful, I can imagine also other brands entering the field , like Samsung (that until some years ago was interested in hybrid headsets) or some Chinese brands like Shadow Creator. Magic Leap 2 is going to launch this year.

First, HTC delays the Vive until April 2016, with plans to show an updated developer kit at CES in January. At the end of the month, Oculus officially delays the release of Touch controllers until the last half of 2016.

Yes, Google might still be resurgent with Android, powered by Owlchemy's insights and Samsung's hardware , and other companies might surprise with a novel strategy too. I'll go so far as to wager it's probably game over for Magic Leap and HoloLens and some other optically transparent approaches.

Supported phones: Samsung: S8, S8 plus, Note 8, S9, S9 plus, Huawei: Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 pro. But for developers that have not the money to buy a HoloLens or a Magic Leap (when it will come out, maybe in 3018), Dreamglass can be an interesting opportunity. IR camera for hand gesture recognition. 3.5mm jack.

But the lenses are so 2016. The Vive Pro has only one “normal” cable going from it to the PC, so it is far better than the old one that had that monster wire. The fluffy foam of the Pro is very comfortable. The fact that there is integrated audio is great and the audio headphones are comfortable and work very well.

GB: Magic Leap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Outside of the sort of people in this room and in the games press, I don’t think most people know what Magic Leap is. When you talk about investment, certainly Magic Leap has garnered the most, but ODG just closed a big round. VR is inherently isolating.

I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and Magic Leap. I think the three-degrees-of-freedom [3Dof] sets — like the Go and the Samsung Gear VR before it — are very well-suited for video viewing, that sort of thing.

When you when you think of all of the technologies we have with Hololens and Magic Leap and we have all these amazing technologies for spatial computing. I think Magic Leap calls it the Magicverse. And when we started in 2016, it was probably the first fund dedicated to investing in areas of AR.
