But the company has moved on to figuring out how to make Codec Avatars possible on low-powered standalone headsets, as evidenced by a paper published alongside last month’s 2022 IEEE CICC conference. In the paper, Meta reveals it created a custom chip built with a 7nm process to function as an accelerator specifically for Codec Avatars.

With a lot of sadness, I’m here watching the photos and the videos of WCVRI , the big Chinese conference about VR that is held every year in Nanchang. This year, I’m just watching the conference from home The conference has been interesting, and it has been the usual mix of technology and politics. Some XR fun. Funny link.

Called Project North Star, the device eschews any care of form factor, and aims solely at maximizing the end experience with a wide 100 degree field of view, low latency, high resolution, and of course the company’s hand-tracking sensor.

Unveiled at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) on Monday, 5 June, the upcoming headset is widely hailed as a pivotal device for the XR industry. This will process data and graphics with minimal latency eight times faster than the blink of an eye. Furthermore, the headset will not come with physical hand controllers.

Citing informal social media polls ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2023), Latta stated that many had resorted to “clickbait,” rather than trialling the headset. Due to the immense secrecy of the Vision Pro, many had to wait until after the big reveal at the annual event. Do you want me to proceed?’

Meta’s leaders did share that they would be providing more information about the headset at the Connect conference this year, and they delivered on that promise. The XR2 Gen 2 chip even offers an average pass-through latency of only 12 milliseconds. Notably, while the Quest 3 does feature hand tracking , it doesn’t offer eye tracking.

There was an interesting question during the press conference about why can’t we just use the AR2 for VR headsets, too, then. Together with tracking, it also is good at doing everything related to environment understanding, like for instance performing object detection or hand tracking. This is impressive.

Quest 2 hands tracking gets 60Hz update. On Quest 2 it is now possible to use high-frequency (60Hz) hands tracking, which guarantees better stability and less latency in your hands-controlled applications. I think that this can enable new kinds of applications (maybe even some workouts) to use hand tracking.

So you have a freeway system, much bigger freeway system with very little latency. So the reality is why 5G is essential is because, yeah, we have a freeway system that’s wide open, that has no latency, that has connective tissues that connect a lot of devices to a lot of devices.
