In the interview with me, he talked about many topics, like the rumors he heard on Apple Glasses, on the Oculus Quest 2 , the America vs China war, XR entrepreneurship, Tesla, and more!

Mark Zuckerberg talks about the future of VR and AR at Facebook’s recent Oculus Connect conference. It isn’t alone, we know of many companies that are spending billions on same, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Sony, Magic Leap, Huawei, and others. They can’t look nerdy like Google Glass did.

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. Yes, it’s a lot of time, but these are realistic projections. The Quest will still be the king.

It seems that Sony is hoping for a Q4 release in time for the holidays, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that delays will bring the release to Q1 2023. A developer had the great idea to tie an Oculus Touch controller to a cardboard box so that the box can be ported into VR and be used as a magical box with which the user can interact.

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. This is why companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Meta are exploring similar technologies. News worth a mention. Image by Meta).

Luckily there is AR that is still strong, and we can hope to wear Google AR glasses soon… ah no, they are dead too. Take the survey to help the global community learn more about the skills and technologies necessary to succeed in 2023 and beyond. Ah no, not even that because also Twitter is dead.

A few weeks after I officially entered VR, the technology started being overhyped after Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus. If you follow the story described above, you can see that the hype for VR in 2014 was caused by Facebook buying Oculus. There was a lot of enthusiasm and hope.

Twelve months ago I put a prediction on LinkedIn saying that I thought -- based on some of the things that we're seeing coming out of Unity -- that Unity was going to go public within the next 12 months. Oculus came up with a $300 VR headset that rivals anything in the market. just, Google it. That was a year ago.

Oculus brands disappears. And most importantly, the Oculus brand will disappear and will just become Meta : Oculus Quest will be the Meta Quest (yes, it sounds terribly, I know). He says that “We all have a strong attachment to the Oculus brand, and this was a very difficult decision to make”, but I don’t believe him at all.
