Then, you can create MR applications, and so code in Unity and at the same time see the preview of your 3D game in 3D in front of you. Unity releases the XR Interaction Toolkit. The plugin is currently in preview, and Unity seeks feedback for fixing the bugs and adding new features. The possible applications are endless.

So, here we are, entering 2019 with me fulfilling my promise to Lenovo and closing this series of “should you buy it?” I already dedicated an article about how the tracking technology of Google is awesome. It has for sure a great expertise in these technologies. I was amazed. WTF, really. Apps ecosystem.

This year, I’m not going to make an exception, also because my predictions for 2019 performed pretty well. I envision this year in VR to be like last CES in VR : a time where we will see the growth of the technology , but no real disruption. So, here you are how I envision this 2020 in virtual reality!

The Valve Index is for sure the big surprise for virtual reality in this 2019. I think that someone is fooling us with specifications: of course, if I have to render the standard Unity cube at 120 Hz, maybe also a Raspberry can be enough… but this can’t count as a minimum specification. What the hell?

And then, of course, there is SuperData , that someone has already renamed “SuperGuess”, that has released its estimates of VR sales for Q4 2019. Having sold 317K units in Q4, the Quest has so sold around 710K units in 2019. Unity now supports Vulkan for Oculus Quest. Samsung Odyssey+ is now at $230. I would like to.

This won’t be the year of AR : exactly as I said for virtual reality, let’s not hype the technology and think that this is the year when mainstream adoption of wearable AR glasses is going to happen. Sounded good.

In my opinion , the true error is with the Vive 1 , that will get a price that is higher than the one of all the competitors… and that will cost as much as a Samsung Odyssey, notwithstanding its far lower features. The SDK offers native APIs, but also supports popular game engines like Unity and Unreal 4. Epic Siren demo.

If these Facebook features proved to be popular, more developers would use them, and finally, Facebook could have more power on the VR development tools , after the failed acquisition of Unity. But it also shows that VR is not exploding next year and that the consumer use of the technology will only represent 37% of the whole market.

According to some reviewers, the display may also be the same one made by Samsung. Vive Focus has a well made 6 DOF tracking technology , even if, as I reported, the tracking sometimes doesn’t feel completely smooth and drifts on long distances.

The Unity renderer implementation of foveated rendering, on the other hand is much rougher, and in multiple Unity apps I saw very obvious and harsh artifacts, particularly on text. Given this only happens in Unity Full Space apps, I suspect this can be solved in future software. This is a watershed moment for VR-style headsets.

We are at the same level of Vive Focus or Vive Pro… probably the display is the same made by Samsung. This is the same chip of the Samsung S8 and it is not the latest available for VR: Qualcomm has already released the 845 VR reference design. The screen is a pentile OLED, featuring 1600×1440 per eye resolution. Horsepower.

We all know the Gartner hype cycle of emergent technologies: they are initially overhyped, then undervalued, and finally, they fulfill their potential and become popular and useful. No one still knows how to build the necessary technologies to make it happen. This is still the situation in this first part of 2022.
