Apple finally talks about VR while taking a (very solid) swing at AR, Walmart will use virtual reality to train employees, you can grow better weed with AR + AI, and Q1 VR headset sales…. APPLE ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT VR. APPLE TAKES A (VERY SOLID) SWING AT AUGMENTED REALITY. However… we’re still waiting for those apple AR glasses.

It was our hope for Google entering the AR race together with Meta and Apple. We already saw this problem happening when HTC departed from the Steam platform to build its Viveport store because hardware sales were not enough to have an ambitious business. Well, it seems that our hope has died.

Probably, but I’m not sure about this, Magic Leap will tease a new version of the Magic Leap glasses at the next LEAP Conference. Microsoft’s BUILD conference is usually held in April or May, and this seems the right stage for such a big launch. Apple glasses. My friend and colleague Francesco trying HoloLens.

Samsung starts off the month debuting its VR Internet browser for Gear VR, becoming the first to offer a VR browser. Oculus and HTC had been holding details surrounding Rift and Vive launch windows close to the chest, probably because they had delays to announce and need to nail down new plans. December 2015. January 2016. March 2016.

There is no official confirmation on this, and I hope to be wrong because having to use earphones would be a big hit to its comfort Release date and price : of course the release date (will it come before or after an Apple headset?) Apple headset is rumored to be announced this year. and price (will it be affordable for PS5 users?)

Going into 2019, the industry eagerly awaits HoloLens 2 and Glass Enterprise Edition 2, as rumors swirl around the possibility of AR glasses from Apple and/or Facebook in the near future. The pilot, which used an iPad and HTC Vive powered by Marxent’s 3D Cloud Service, showed that VR increases average order value by 60%.

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.

Thus, AR manufacturers sell their development products by passing the cost onto the end user, while VR development is subsidized by all – Oculus shipped ‘devkits’ for $349.99, HTC Vive PRE program shipped over 10,000 units for free, OSVR is very cheap, and makers like Deepoon go for as low as $249.99.

We plan to go online with it on Amazon or Netflix and present it like that, and then have it be an additional thing that maybe Netflix or Amazon has on their platform in the Oculus or HTC. And we put this kind of like Apple-esque music over it, and made this cute little commercial and it never saw the light of day. And Will.i.am
