And while this is anyway a good result for a startup (developing an AR headsets means spending billions in R&D), targeting the consumer market has been a suicide move , that let Microsoft get full control of the profitable enterprise market. The VR route is instead being pursued by HTC (with its VEC event happening soon) and IEEE.

Later during testing, I received the SteamVR “lighthouse” faceplate , letting me enjoy the precision of sub-mm room-scale tracking, whilst enabling the use of Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Pimax Sword controllers, as well as Vive and Tundra trackers. This is what the company says about its technology: “How eye tracking works in XR?

The Sonic seems a good device: 4K resolution, 101° FOV, 72Hz refresh rate, 256GB, and 6DOF controllers. It is a bit disappointing that it just has 2 tracking cameras, but the controllers are tracked with ultrasound beacons, so the tracking FOV should be good. It looks like a refreshed Vive Focus Plus. was a lot of money?).

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. There’s a lot to learn about how we can start to blend these different experiences into the world.
