The reference to the tether is a clear statement about the fact that Sony aims at offering quality, and it is not interested in the casual gamers that are the target of the Quest (for now). Unity support for OpenXR is still in early beta , and so it’s not reliable yet to develop an OpenXR-compliant application in Unity.

Internal iOS 13 code seems to point at Apple AR glasses. It is not a secret that Apple is working on a pair of AR glasses (even if someone still thinks that the project has been abandoned). What we don’t know is what Apple is creating and when it will be released. Who knows.

While spatial computing isn’t an entirely new concept, major market leaders like Apple believe it will shape the future of our digital interactions. This includes the development of more comfortable, lightweight, and powerful wearable headsets, like the impeding Apple Vision Pro.

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. The Qualcomm XR2 reference design has been a great innovation for XR in general (Image by Qualcomm).

This week has been pretty crazy: It all started with Facebook approving my silly The Unity Cube application (an application with just a cube) on App Lab. The sentence, as highlighted by Road To VR, may be a reference that it will be an enterprise headset. Not much, honestly.

Your construction model becomes your reference from which you build, and it becomes truly stocked when you connect it to the data of the building, and so you can visualize all about your building in real time. And some of them are built on Unity, others are built on Unreal. In it you do asset management, every door has an asset tag.

Brand spending on sponsored mobile AR lenses is a bright spot, as is Apple AR glasses rumors. Often, the term is used in reference to industrial uses. This category also includes developer tools such as Unity and AR democratization tools such as Amazon Sumerian or Adobe Aero. Header Image Credit: Apple. AR at Work.

This has been a pretty interesting week for me, having spoken at XR Safety Week and Stereopsia, and having published two cool articles about creating innovative SteamVR controllers and using Application SpaceWarp in Unity to almost double the framerate of your application. Apple headset may be very lightweight. Top news of the week.

Even the big players like Sony, Apple, and Microsoft have substantially reduced their production estimates for 2022, whilst processor manufacturers talk of delays into 2024. This fee had included a suite of useful reference hardware to build tracked objects with, which could also be disassembled and reused to build prototypes. .

I remember years ago — I think it was probably, I want to say about five years ago — we had a Unity session in our office, where we did Unity development basics, and we invited a lot of companies from the area in Austin to come to our office, and we would run a Unity training session around 2D/3D asset development.

Unluckily, in the last 12 months it has happened to me that on two platforms I tried to make a reference to another competitor platform in the environment (a little reference), and I was asked to remove it otherwise my experience would have been removed. It will also be a defensive move against Apple.

The documentation was the same as before, if not for the fact that in the page about headset Input page, there was also a reference to “Oculus Jedi” controllers. I’ve used Google search to find all the pages with references to Del Mar in the Oculus website, and all the docs are identical to the previous versions.

If you have watched Rick&Morty, you get the reference (Image from Reddit). For sure the announcement at FC and the release date in 2021 have been studied to put some pressure on Apple , which seems to be the only rival to Facebook for what concerns the AR future. I’m not so convinced about this theory, though. Privacy in AR.
