I can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year.

This price is ridiculously low: it is less than what a nreal glass costs, a lot less of a HoloLens 2 and perfectly in line also with the prices of VR headsets like Oculus Quest 2 and Pico Neo 3. Lone Echo 2 will be available for Rift S (yeah, the forgotten headset) and Quest + Link from October, 12th for $40 as an exclusive Oculus release.

The North-America-only limitation is quite a bummer for us Europeans, but honestly, as a developer, I understand the will of making an incremental deployment to be sure that everything works before expanding the product to many countries.

I say all of this not to undervalue all the work that Meta’s engineers have done: 300,000 is anyway a good number , also considering that Horizon Worlds is only out of its beta in North America. A must-have tool to use if you are looking for the next title to play. XR Bootcamp has released a nice guide on the Oculus Interaction SDK.
