If I had to bet, I would say that the possibilities are two: Smartglasses to see the notifications of your phone A hybrid VR/passthrough AR headset, similar to Project Cambria or the rumored Apple headset. With the rumors intensifying, and with Apple always closer to entering the market, I am expecting an announcement for this year.

Part of all of this is merit of Jeri (Image by HTC). Compare that to the HTC Vive that has like 40 giant infrared lights that strobe constantly to synchronize everything and spinning lasers with infrared light… and then the Kinect that has this huge laser illumination system, so those systems work totally different than ours.

You can go into Google, like "HTC Vive blog Steve Bambury" or something, you'll probably find them. But I've been writing a series of blogs about my journey using and integrating the HTC Vive headsets at GESS. My background is in film. So before I was a teacher, I worked in the film industry.

But today’s article is not about me, but about the best tech news, so let me tell you what pieces of XR news I’ve selected this week! This could be useful to let Meta answer to the movies available on the Apple Vision Pro because of Apple TV. But will it be enough now to beat Apple?

And so Apple bought them shortly thereafter. So SPACES was acquired quietly by Apple this year. And Apple also earlier this year acquired NextVR, which-- that company has all the licensing rights to real-time capture in 360 of NASCAR, and NBA, and all of the other sports. Golf, I think. everything. Just all the things.

It has now an agreement with Plessey, a company working on MicroLED displays, and that was previously one of the acquisition goals of the competitor Apple.

I took some film around everybody. Alan: Well, it’s a good thing that Pico didn’t take the Apple approach and get rid of their headset jack. Recently just read an article that three of the major VR collaboration platforms got hacked. Takes a lot of planning, but yes, we did manage it within about 30 or 40 seconds.

This year’s Raindance Film Festival in London showcased an amazing selection of immersive stories. Here’s what got Tech Trends really excited: Raindance is a very well-established and well-respected independent film festival, but it isn’t a particularly flashy one. Yet that lack of over-the-top glamour actually suits it very well.

During the interview we talked about practical stuff, like if HTC is working on a new product, and when we can expect to see lightweight AR glasses on the head of everyone. A lot of things have changed in your life since the last time we met: your role in HTC, the country you are in… So, how is life now?

Alan: An amazing article. So HTC has given us some Vive Focus and we love them, because being untethered is a huge important part of having audience come in and not feeling like it’s a hassle, but really having this like ritualistic atmospheric experience without breaking that sense of immersion. But a lot of it is independent.

Regarding me, I will probably publish a first impression article after some hours into the game, and then a full-fledged review when I’ll finish playing it.
