The “Applification” The Apple Vision Pro Since Meta is scared by Apple, I’m sure that Zuck will try to copy the same use cases Apple showed for its Vision Pro. I also imagine the CEO of Roblox appearing on stage and announcing the official release of Roblox on Quest in time for the holidays.

Then the wish to compete with Apple may not become a reality: when the Vision Pro was announced, Samsung didn’t expect such cool features from it, so it delayed the announcement of the headset to have the time to increase its capabilities. That’s fantastic news for all Unity XR developers! in the reviews!

If you’re not amazed because many XR applications have built-in hand tracking, remember that your hands need to be in view of the headset’s cameras for hand tracking to work. You can do it with your hands behind your back. Not so with StretchSense. StretchSense. You can do this in a pocket.

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.

With the Varjo XR-4 series, the tech leader aims to offer a more affordable and diverse alternative to upcoming headsets like the Apple Vision Pro. This aligns it with the prices for competing solutions like the Apple Vision Pro and Microsoft HoloLens 2. However, they are more affordable than you might think.

Regarding the glasses, I have not big hopes for true AR glasses, but I think that thanks to Facebook and Apple, finally we’ll have some important smartglasses entering the market , making the mainstream think about wearing something on their face to enjoy notifications from the phone. Phone AR will be always more popular.

And once that starts to catch steam, every company in the world is going to have to have an exit strategy. Dean: Getting back to the platform owners, I think if you look at HTC and some of the things that they’ve done… you know, they did an eye-tracking version of the HTC Vive here.

I think that Zuck is now all-in with XR, and all these games are not relevant to Facebook’s current strategy, so the deal has not been completed. The new update for Oculus Quest brings with it some interesting features, like the tracking of the Apple Magic Keyboard, some updates to the UI, and a new menu for hand tracking.
