I’m sorry about that, but it’s still a miracle I’ve managed to write it… Top news of the week (Leaked image from Samsung video) Samsung is back to XR with Google and Qualcomm The big news of the week is that Samsung is back to XR.

Last month, we got to know that (according to a rumor) Samsung is working together with Microsoft on new AR glasses, most probably powered by a Qualcomm chipset. Samsung has apparently completed a prototype, and “is deciding the release date”.

I see 2020 as a good year of consolidation, where VR will grow linearly before the expected explosion around 2022. Also, the hardware will follow this trend: at CES, in fact, we have seen mostly the launch of new enterprise headsets (Pico Neo 2, XTAL 8K, etc…). HTC will focus more on the enterprise market.

Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised. Samsung AR glasses.

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?) pic.twitter.com/6yFD2FfHta — TikTokComms (@TikTokComms) January 6, 2021. and I can expect more realistic filters with depth occlusion to come soon.

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. Enterprise will account for the majority of those through at least 2022. billion by 2022; so yeah, several times multiplier. Alan: How much was in 2022? Carter: $ 33.9-billion

As always in January I like to play the speculation game and make my personal predictions for augmented and virtual reality for the new year (2022, in this case). This is still the situation in this first part of 2022. I think that in a good part of 2022 we will just see the VR market growing because of the huge growth of the Quest 2.
