We’ve had a tonne of people come through and do demos, and it’s been really rewarding to see people actually getting into the VR space because of someone as big as Apple getting into the game. A defining factor of the Vision Pro is its controller-less design, instead leveraging tracking technology to record inputs.

Apple’s ARKit and Google’s ARCore may be bringing AR tracking capabilities to smartphones, but it will be years yet before high-end immersive augmented reality headsets hit the consumer market. Then I saw a floating menu representing several different demo experiences I could launch. The ZED Mini will launch in November.

A hands-on demo was available on the Vive, though I was told that the PC in use was experiencing overheating issues which might impact the framerate. I was using Google’s Tilt Brush and rapidly moving from one side of the tracked area to the other, twisting my body to test the latency and whirling the motion controllers around my head.

On the server-side, it is being integrated with Microsoft Azure, and it is also coming in the future for Google Cloud and Tencent Cloud. On the technological side, it seems all is set to start using cloud rendering, but the big problem of the latency from the nearest server remains; VRSS (Variable Rate SuperSampling) v2 has been announced.

Although less likely, HTC could also certify a wider swath of smartphones from various manufacturers such as Google does with Daydream. That will invariably introduce additional latency, which is a major factor that a more direct connection would mitigate. Note: conventional DisplayPort over USB-C can push 4K resolution at 60Hz.

I think it is especially useful for demoing Oculus Go to our friends or customers. This is an example stream I got on PC: As you can see, the quality is not bad and even the latency was not terrible. Of course, being a streaming of a streaming, expect more latency and more compression than what you would like to have.

Kwik VR’s wireless add-on kit had underwhelmed me, and we’d seen one disappointing standalone demo from Intel. They look a little like someone took the PlayStation Move’s light and fitted it to Google’s Daydream controller along with some added buttons from the Vive wands. I didn’t notice any drift.

On the other hand, developers only have to write the code once and it will work on all devices (Oculus, Vive, HTC, Google Cardboard, etc.) Latency, which refers to the delay in communications between a user’s movement and what they see, has to be as low as possible, to create the illusion of reality.

As I said in my post about ARKit, for sure with ARCore and Gear VR is possible to hack a 6 DOF headset, but its performances would be poor for a comfortable VR experience (where every little latency and tracking error lead to motion sickness of the user). For instance SK Telecom has showcased a 5G powered social VR demo.

But it’s still incredible enough to give a taste of where it’s headed.
