This week we had another report from supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that is said to very reliable in rumors about Apple (even if he only made wrong predictions about Apple Glasses, but this is none of my business).

This is combined with eye-tracking technology from German firm SMI, which may have just been acquired by Apple. What followed was a brief training session where a group of objects floated in front of me — a train, ball and block among them. It is definitely alarming to hear someone outside VR say my brain is looking good.

In the interview with me, he talked about many topics, like the rumors he heard on Apple Glasses, on the Oculus Quest 2 , the America vs China war, XR entrepreneurship, Tesla, and more! As John Riccitiello (CEO of Unity) said some years ago , the VR market won’t be interesting enough until it will reach the 10 million users mark.

It seems that after 3–4 weeks of training, the dog gets used to using AR. The author of the video has used a free app available on the Apple Store and with it, it was able to scan 3D objects with a quality and a speed never seen before. The demo is amazing, I hear. Someone has made a WebAR exporter for Unity.

It was too early for Unity, but they taught me about C++, C#, Java, OpenCV, OpenGL and other fancy development stuff. For who wasn’t doing AR at that time: Metaio had an amazing SDK for phone-based AR, but then it got acquired by Apple and it disappeared from the market. Since I loved gaming (who doesn’t love gaming?),

Mostly they are about entertainment, marketing or training experiences. 5G is not a magic bullet.
