If this sounds familiar, it’s a subset of an existing construct known as the AR cloud. Rather than building a physical-world knowledge graph like Google, Apple’s interests trace back to its core business: hardware. Also what we sometimes call the “ metavearth “ (name still in beta testing ??),

Higher-quality, integrated VR hardware will take important steps this year, with the likes of Oculus’ Santa Cruz project and various other standalone mobile VR headsets on the way, but the most visually-ambitious experiences will continue to demand powerful, ‘desktop-class’ PC hardware in the foreseeable future.

So, a business must ensure that deploying immersive hardware or software is worth both financial and learning investments. A business must ask if XR is for them. While AR/VR/MR solutions may continue to grow across enterprise clients, XR is still an emerging technology.

The new Oculus device was by the way another piece of hardware that was by chance “leaked” in a timely way so that to excite everyone for Facebook Connect 2. We are in the middle of a cheap shortage, and now Valve hardware product lines are devoted to the SteamDeck, so it’s improbable that a new production line is starting immediately.

And all of this comes in a period when other partnerships between tech giants are happening: remember that some weeks ago, Microsoft closed its streaming service Mixer and allied with Facebook Gaming to fight the quasi-monopoly of (Amazon-owned) Twitch. According to Niantic, this moment is coming pretty soon.

It makes sense for Samsung, which is great in manufacturing hardware, to partner with Microsoft , that is doing a good job in creating a platform for XR, to compete with the other companies. Apple is entering the XR field, and Facebook is currently dominating the VR market. All of this impressed me, but there are two problems.
