The second most important XR news from this F8 has surely been the reveal of the Oculus Half Dome prototype : a tethered headset with varifocal display (that lets you see sharply the objects that in VR are close to your face, for instance), 140 degrees field of view and eye tracking. You can see the announcement in this video.

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. I also imagine them trying to add enterprise-oriented features like eye-tracking in all their devices.

A bit like what happened with Henry ported from PC to Oculus Go by John Carmack: he used a special encoding of 5K 360 video and the experience is similar to the realtime UE4 experience on PC, even if at the same time it is completely different. 4k x 4k per eye displays (eye tracking useful for this). Youtube VR.

So, normal 360 video allows you to kind of look around from the point of the camera, but what you guys have developed is a way to give, kind of, more presence by adding that ability to move up and down, and left and right. Well actually, your eyes point to different places. Can you maybe speak to that? Alvin: Yeah. Alvin: Yes.

But what we proved with those is that you can have this small phone attachment and you can simply and easily capture, edit, and share photos and videos in 360 to social media without ever having to pull out the microSD card from your camera. But that would be even more so as we get eye-tracking involved. Is that correct?

Bringing health care into a more immersive environment and affecting behavioral change, we think, is very interesting. You’re going to have downscale the experience for some of the other platforms that can’t take advantage of the full immersive experience you’re trying to create. Google recently bought Eyefluence for its eye tracking.
