I can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year. Me wearing my branded Oculus Quest 2. So… let’s start!

I started because I actually tested, like everyone, the first generation of Oculus, and then the second, and so on… and I was expecting like better visual quality … [me too!] Mainly transportation, automotive, aerospace, public transportation, and so on. What gave you the idea of starting doing such kind of super cool headset?

The app, which is 100% free, features 20 minutes of footage from Season 2 of the Formula E ePrix and can be found on the Steam and Viveport VR stores, with support coming to Oculus in the near future. While the intense rivalry and too-close-to-call finishes are really exciting, the app truly shines with its incredibly unique spectator system.

For instance, many automotive producers were teasing the use of AR windshields in the future. Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. By putting the battery on the back of the head, the Neo 2 solves the weight balancing problem of the Oculus Quest (Image by Road To VR).

Being able to simulate hazardous environments without putting anybody in harm’s way during a training scenario or training exercise is the ideal situation. There was a division of the Coast Guard that was doing training on search-and-rescue simulations. So, had I had a VR simulator, I probably saved myself a lot of money.

As I’m thinking back to it now, this was actually on HTC VIVE — first gen, which was only maybe 3, 4 years ago now — and I was so impressed with the first generation of hardware that I was like, “well, this is ready for prime time.” And when you hit on automotive, I was like, “wow. Alan: Absolutely.

A lot of what I do is try to take new and emerging technology -- obviously right now, VR/AR/XR; all that falls into it -- and using that to enhance messaging and storytelling, training, simulation, all of that type of stuff. I'll give an example in automotive and aerospace. And where did we come from?" I mean, I was making notes, here.

Started covering those areas when they were very tied to games, especially when the original Oculus Rift was launched. Oculus Go came out with this $199 headset – this really inexpensive headset — and they sold millions of these units. And we also look at consumer software numbers as a whole. Which still has its uses!
