The first one is the usual SteamVR hardware survey. Just a little parenthesis to say that Zuck has also said that Facebook is working hard on AR hardware and operating system ) ARtillery Intelligence , an analytics company, still provides good news, but it wants to stop our enthusiasm. So, take SuperData’s data with a grain of salt.

If you make some calculations using these data, the result is that Meta has probably sold 9–10M Quest 2 units until now. So creating new devices that young kids may like (the Quest 2) and that have an independent store (Quest Store) and where Meta can perform all the data tracking that it wants, seems the ideal scenario.

This trend will continue in 2021 : the new LiDAR sensor, which is rumored to be installed in all future iPhones, will for sure be copied also by Android phones (Samsung?) And even if Google harvests data exactly as Facebook, it has been targeted by fewer scandals, so it is a brand people like more.

This means that I’m not expecting many new hardware announcements, but I’m expecting new AR enterprise platforms, applications and solutions.

Networking libraries, VR hardware, AR glasses, common standards… nothing is ready to build the metaverse in the short term. The hardware market won’t grow much, in my opinion. Another brand I’m very curious about is Samsung : sooner or later, it should announce something, either in VR or in AR. Accessories.

We’re hearing this since many years, but now the sensation is that we’re coming close to the moment when the prophecy will come true: the rumors are intensifying and the software (ARKit) and the hardware (depth cameras, 5G) designed by Apple are all converging to the glasses solution. Samsung terminates its XR services.
