But hey, let me play this game anyway, so here you are my predictions for virtual reality in 2021 based on the trends and the anticipations that we had at the end of 2020!

There’s a whole range of services, and GPS is getting better now that it’s being married to computer vision, so you can get highly-localized Google directions – really accurate, down to a couple of feet. So I would say it’s the most in-depth book about what’s happening in AR and what the trends are today.

When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eye tracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.

I think that from the results of this battle, which will happen most probably in 2022, we will understand the trends that will drive the VR gaming market in all the upcoming years. They are standard Quests , the ones you can buy on Amazon, BUT they have a business licensing.

But one of the things that they were really passionate about was controlling heads-up displays like Google Glass, which had just come out at the time. We tested things with eye tracking for a variety of reasons. So you can actually use Amazon, Alexa to help you with stuff. We tested wristbands. And-- Alan: It really is.

I feel like some products, such as Google Cardboard, and some of the lower-end pieces of hardware, have actually done more harm than good to the reputation of virtual reality. 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.

After having written my predictions for virtual reality in 2020 , let’s see what will be the trends for this year in augmented reality. Maybe with eye-tracking, AI, 5G connection, and a battery that lasts all day. Google Maps has now AR features. A worker wearing HoloLens 2 (Image by Microsoft).

The community has not stopped working on TiltBrush , the popular VR drawing app that has been open-sourced by Google.
