Meta is having funding issues because of the new trade wars between America and China. Apple glasses. Concept of a future AR glass by Apple (Image by iDropNews). In 2019 we’ll see more strategic acquisitions by Apple and more rumors about an incoming AR glass by Apple. But I don’t expect any launch.

Yesterday was Chinese Lanterns’ Festival… my best wishes to you all, especially a big hug to all people that are still in China and are living very hard times… ??! I wonder if Facebook has already taken the decision of leaving the enterprise market to HTC and Pico , while focusing on the much bigger piece of cake of the consumer market.

We have lots of non-news about Apple’s XR efforts. The hype around Apple glasses is huge , and everything that gets shared about Apple and XR gets many views. We already knew that Tim likes AR and “what we have to offer” may also be a potato with an Apple brand costing $400. Useless news.

Or better, I can imagine who can be the names and they are all the big monoliths: Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon , etc… Only companies of this size could afford selling a good headset under cost and at the same time attract enough developers to publish VR games on their own new stores. The rise of enterprise. Will they succeed?

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.

We have also to consider that in 2019, most of VR companies (Valve, Oculus, HTC, etc…) have already launched their devices, and given that VR headsets have usually a lifecycle of 2-3 years, I’m not expecting them to announce something new next year. HTC will focus more on the enterprise market.

This has not been the most interesting week in AR, VR, but I think that in the next times we’ll see some shots fired: in some days there will be the F8, the official shipment of the Vive Pro 2, then the Apple WWDC conference! And it feels weird that HTC hasn’t fixed such a cheap little component that was already faulty on the original Vive.
