This is much more than what Oculus promised to track some years ago (“only the height of the user is sent to Facebook, for statistical purposes”), and the amount of tracking info is going to slowly increase. On the web, Google has similar behaviors. The tech world domination. Even if another company (e.g.

The Ford Motor Company and PepsiCo are examples of companies using XR to improve their design processes. Users can start customizing the virtual office to suit specific tasks; for example, a VR meeting can be set up on a virtual whiteboard so everyone can brainstorm ideas.

When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes.

Samsung has also teased to be interested in releasing a new AR/VR standalone device. The only exception to this rule seems to be the Samsung Odyssey+, that offers features somewhat comparable to the ones of the Vive Pro, but costs only $500. The Odyssey has anyway the problem of the non-optimal tracking of controllers.

Some examples of this category of glasses: Intel Vaunt (project abandoned); North Focals; Vuzix Blade; Snap Spectacles v2 (they are just cameras to share videos); Bose AR glasses (these are not for visual, but for audio augmented reality). Google Maps in AR). Of course, it will exploit the already awesome Microsoft platform.

So if, for example, look at GPS in a phone, right, there would be no Uber, no Seamless. There’s a whole range of services, and GPS is getting better now that it’s being married to computer vision, so you can get highly-localized Google directions – really accurate, down to a couple of feet. What did it enable?

In my opinion , the true error is with the Vive 1 , that will get a price that is higher than the one of all the competitors… and that will cost as much as a Samsung Odyssey, notwithstanding its far lower features. But we also know that when in VR, most people just look forward with their eyes. Google AR apps.
