This is because the sales have not been enormous, and the content for it is not exploiting completely its new features (there are some cool uses of eye tracking, but that’s it). The Quest Pro already introduced mixed reality and eye tracking: I’ve seen a few interesting experiments with it, but the device was a total flop.

Facebook wants to use some AI magic to eliminate all what you don’t want to hear and let you hear only what you are interested in. This sounds like black magic and it is really fascinating: using eye tracking and other hints, the system may understand what is that you want to hear, and filter out all the rest.

Feature-wise, it is more or less as we expected it to be, with four cameras for inside-out tracking, haptic feedback, IPD adjustment , eye-tracking, HDR display. Magic Leap 2 has inside-out tracked controllers. And one has surprised me: the controllers will feature inside-out tracking.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.

But as far as I know, nothing disruptive for the industry : Oculus has already shots all its bullets, and HTC for the first time isn’t announcing anything. The eye-tracked model costs only $900. HTC is celebrating the new year with a $100 discount on the Vive Cosmos running from 1th to 10th of January. Let’s see.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. That gives users more than enough space to walk, run, and even sprint while in VR.

We all know that AR glasses (or hybrid AR/VR glasses) are the technology that will eventually replace smartphones, and Facebook of course wants to conquer that new platform. So, this may be what Oculus will make people try: Rift 2 : eye tracking , varifocal display, 140° FOV. Of course, Oculus will also announce new games.

The old Reverb was already a great headset, with a 2K per eye resolution that was above all the other headsets on the market (with the exception of Pimax, of course).
