Meta Quest 3 (left) and Apple Vision Pro (right) We once asked Oculus executive Jason Rubin whether his company was considering a tethered compute model. When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. And I mean fully.

Bob: Well, actually, what was interesting for me being at Laval is, I put on a — for the first time — a VR architecture event… actually, over a year ago, now; this was January 2018. But it was hard for me to get a feel for where architecture uptake was, from a VR perspective, in the US. We had good participation.

I feel like some products, such as Google Cardboard, and some of the lower-end pieces of hardware, have actually done more harm than good to the reputation of virtual reality. People get in it, and they see, "this as a medium-to-low-quality image or video that I'm sitting in," and there's not much interaction if it's a Google Cardboard.

But because you’re much likelier to hear about VR today, especially this month with the launches of Playstation VR, Google Daydream, and Oculus Touch, AR can feel distant and overhyped.

Varag: It's actually pretty cool that you say that, because that is one of the use cases that comes in often inbound to us, as companies -- it hasn't happened yet -- but those companies definitely brainstorming around how you track the hands even with just a smartphone, like overlaying something. Alan: We actually did it. It would sit weird.

Oculus has sold a couple million. Amazon Sumerian.

Alan: One of the tools that I think we’re just starting to see come online is eye tracking and motion tracking, where we’re really able to get data points about humans that we’ve never had before. We can now do better objective assessments, instead of subjective measurements.
