This is the same confusion that created issues for HTC in the past with the Vive Pro, for instance. The eye and face tracking can also work via Quest Link (but maybe only for developers). There are new complaints about Meta’s privacy policy on eye tracking , as my friend Avi Bar-Zeev points out.

Who doesn’t want to do that can still use his/her Oculus account to log in until 2023 , but he/she won’t be able to use all the social functionalities of the device (like Venues, Horizon, etc…). After 2023, the devices won’t be guaranteed to work with an Oculus login. The same on Twitter. Other relevant news. Image by Epic Games).

On the UX side, other interesting things are being rumored: the headset would ship with no controller, and rely only on eye tracking and hands tracking for interactions. But I think it’s not a good move for Meta, for the following reasons: It shows that it is “afraid” of HTC. This doesn’t sound to me very “Apple”.

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. The rise of enterprise.

When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eye tracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.

It will be the first consumer headset with eye-tracking and foveated rendering, and also the first one to feature haptics directly on the headset. Quest 3, which could be announced at Connect 2023, should instead have micro OLED displays , and probably feature a custom Meta chip able to handle better VR workloads than Qualcomm’s ones.

Thanks to eye tracking, this headset is able to detect your IPD and automatically adjust the distance between the lenses to fit your eyes. So Snap is a company to keep an eye on for what concerns glasses, and it is cool that is working on a new version of its hardware. HTC releases eye and face tracking for Vive Focus 3.

It’s good news by the way that there is continuous IPD adjustment (and with a wider range than before) and that thanks to eye tracking sensors, the headset can tell you if you have positioned it well on your head. There is also an eye-relief dial, so you can put the lenses very close to your eyes, for added field of view.

Considering that Quest supports multitasking for 2D apps, this is great to use the Quest as a tool to work: you could have Slack in one Window, and Google Doc in another, and work on a document together with your team. Another important announcement is that also WebXR PWA will be allowed on the official store, too!
