I’ve read a lot of articles and XR news this week, but actually, at the end of the day, nothing relevant has happened, except for the usual rumor about Apple… so you can close this roundup now… no ok, I’m kidding!

Of course, since he has not an Apple HMD, the only thing he could obtain was the screen splitting in two on his phone, showing that view that we XR developers know very well. It is now sure that Apple is going to release an AR headset , the questions are just when and what.

So it may be that Oculus contributed to the success of HTC Vive’s room-scale technology. That year we’ll be out of the depression (hopefully), and we’ll be close to the release of Facebook and Apple AR glasses.

And it feels weird that HTC hasn’t fixed such a cheap little component that was already faulty on the original Vive.
