More or less AR in 2018 has gone as I predicted in 2017. Feature comparison between ARCore, ARKit and the Unity Handheld AR SDK (Image by Unity). Apple glasses. Concept of a future AR glass by Apple (Image by iDropNews). Jokes apart, what has happened in AR in 2018… and what can you expect to happen in 2019?

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.

From time to time, I like to look at the adoption graph of XR shown by John Riccitiello (the CEO of Unity) in 2017 , where you can see that the real acceleration of immersive technologies should start around 2022-2023. Companies like Pico, HP, Valve, and HTC are already performing very well in this sector.

Oculus and HTC had been holding details surrounding Rift and Vive launch windows close to the chest, probably because they had delays to announce and need to nail down new plans.

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. HTC will focus more on the enterprise market. Blurring of the line between AR and VR.

We entered so the “winter of VR”, which happened between 2017 and the first part of 2019, that is the period when virtual reality was considered “dead”, and it was very hard to survive in the ecosystem.
