Of course I’m talking about a potential AR glass, the iGlass , that could so exploit the computational power of the phone without needing a cable to be connected to it. Blogger Tom Ffiske, that writes on Virtual Perceptions, has decided to write a very good book about AR and VR technologies and it is becoming pretty popular on Amazon.

This was a bit the philosophy of Google Daydream View, that was the first headset employing this kind of materials. The same Unity plugin is able to serve all Oculus devices and this helps a lot in developing cross-platform titles. The Quest can be acquired in China from Amazon US , or from various resellers on Taobao.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that VR is mainstream yet, because we have to verify what have been the actual sales numbers and also what will be the retention of these new users in 3–6 months. I am a bit sad no one gave an award to The Unity Cube , though… I would have loved to get a “Worst Application Award 2021” from Road To VR….

As a long-time AR enthusiast, and one of the first to have tried Google Glass in Italy, I have to admit that I will consider AR mainstream only when it will be on glasses that we will wear all day , when we’ll live in a completely shared mixed reality world (the AR Cloud). Or is it just a talk about glasses?

Unity support for OpenXR is still in early beta , and so it’s not reliable yet to develop an OpenXR-compliant application in Unity. We Unity developers have still to use the current Unity tools that make us develop once, but then build for every different platform (like the ones I describe in this article ).

Luckily there is AR that is still strong, and we can hope to wear Google AR glasses soon… ah no, they are dead too. This is of course an application I’m doing myself very soon because I want to create content for this device. Ah no, not even that because also Twitter is dead. Now it’s called X and aims at becoming the Western WeChat.

The World Map in this world therefore isn’t a 2D street map like we have with Google Maps or Open Street Map, nor is it a 3D map with terrain and building volumes. Both Azure Spatial Anchors and Google Cloud Anchors are leveraging existing strengths in mapping towards the AR Cloud. Insane, yet companies are mapping it already.

Every year since when I entered VR, someone says that “this will be the year of VR” and then of course this never happens. And a big company like Google could also afford to sell it at the same price as the Quest 2, hoping for a future domination of the VR ecosystem. And that’s it for my predictions of VR in 2021!

Of course, this would have been a much bigger deal in a world before Quest Pro and Quest 3, which have lenses with an eyebox so wide that it doesn’t really matter if your IPD is set slightly wrong. Given this only happens in Unity Full Space apps, I suspect this can be solved in future software.

But of course, the technology is still not there: the Oculus Quest is still uncomfortable, we can’t read texts in it, and so on. As John Riccitiello (CEO of Unity) said some years ago , the VR market won’t be interesting enough until it will reach the 10 million users mark. 2022 could be the key year for XR.

People get in it, and they see, "this as a medium-to-low-quality image or video that I'm sitting in," and there's not much interaction if it's a Google Cardboard.
