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. It’s been an interesting demo. And a demo is already live. Magic Leap 2 has inside-out tracked controllers. News worth a mention.

But the greatest feature is that finally Oculus is accepting hands-tracked applications in the Oculus Store from the 28th of this month! The first apps supporting it will be Elixir (a tech demo also showcased at OC6), Waltz of the Wizards, and the Curious Tale Of Stolen Pet. Magic Leap raises other $350M.

HTC 5G streaming. HTC was at MWC showcasing its new headset Vive Focus Plus together with a 5G network. There was a real 5G network created by HTC where on one side there were some special computers that mocked a rendering farm and on the other side there was a user wearing a Vive Focus Plus.

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.

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.

“Apple has invented the glasses of the future” is probably what journals and magazines will say the day of launch, and all the various HoloLens , Magic Leap , etc… will be forgotten by mainstream media. So, this may be what Oculus will make people try: Rift 2 : eye tracking , varifocal display, 140° FOV.

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. Here’s my best guess of what the future high-end VR setup looks like.

In the beginning, we also spent a lot of time demoing VR for hours to whoever asked us to try the technology , because we really wanted everyone to know how VR was cool and maybe collaborate with us. When I needed a Vive OG last year to play around with eye tracking , I bought a used one. Is it necessary to own all of them?

This idea is used in mainline Quests, Pico headsets, Valve Index, HP Reverbs, Oculus Go, and the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Eye tracking is off by default for privacy reasons, but if you enable it you can open a Fit Adjustment guide that measures your IPD and tells you to adjust the lenses to this value.
