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.

So, here we are, entering 2019 with me fulfilling my promise to Lenovo and closing this series of “should you buy it?” When Daydream launched as an alternative to Gear VR, it seemed destined to kill Samsung’s ecosystem. Unity Development. Unity Development for the Mirage Solo is not difficult.

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. News worth a mention.

This year, I’m not going to make an exception, also because my predictions for 2019 performed pretty well. 2019, after a false start, has been a very good year for VR , and we had the arrival on the market of very interesting VR devices that have driven adoption. Every year, I cast some predictions for the new year in AR and VR.

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.

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.

I think that this CES is the emblem of the whole 2020, that probably won’t show big disruptions in the XR field, but will make AR and VR grow linearly, exploiting the successes of VR in 2019 (when Quest and Valve Index went sold-out).

This trend will continue in 2021 : the new LiDAR sensor, which is rumored to be installed in all future iPhones, will for sure be copied also by Android phones (Samsung?) There are vaiours solutions to also export Unity XR projects to the web (Image by Mozilla). and I can expect more realistic filters with depth occlusion to come soon.

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. For instance, in Unity, the Oculus Utilities plugin is the same for PC, Go and GearVR.

Another brand I’m very curious about is Samsung : sooner or later, it should announce something, either in VR or in AR. Samsung has always released interesting products (think about the GearVR or the Odyssey), and it would be cool for it to release a standalone headset with mixed reality features.
