Someone in the communities argued with me that HoloLens 2 has still some advantages over Magic Leap 2: it is well integrated with Azure, it is standalone so it doesn’t need a potentially dangerous cable connecting the headset to the computational unit, and it doesn’t need controllers (it uses hands tracking).

And as any year, Oculus has really amazed us: for sure you have already read my short recap published after the first keynote of OC6 where I told you about amazing stuff like Oculus Link, Facebook Horizon and Hands Tracking. Hand tracking on Quest. Hands tracking will guarantee 25 tracked points for each hand.

Combined with hand tracking and visual feedback, sound even has the power to create the illusion of tactile sensation. Engines like Unity and Unreal are constantly getting better at representing sound effects in 3D space – with binaural audio , better reverb modeling, better occlusion and obstruction modeling, and more.

Small startups can’t compete with big companies, so usually, startups produce expensive headsets at a smaller scale to survive : see VRgineers or Varjo as an example. Facebook has showcased how thanks to the use of hand-tracking gloves, it has been able to let people touch-type in VR. News from partners (and friends).

The Pico 4 Enterprise edition is one example of such a solution. The SDK also supports development with Unreal, Unity, and OpenXR and can be used offline. There’s inside-out tracking, which uses multiple cameras around the device to allow users to move freely when interacting with content.

Hand tracking and virtual reality are both emerging technologies, and combining the two into a fluid and seamless experience can be a real challenge. Engines like Unity and Unreal are constantly getting better at representing sound effects in 3D space, which is absolutely essential to creating a sense of presence.

Or we sell just the simulators to different integrators, and they're able to take our SDK and create their own experiences within Unreal or Unity. And we also just got awarded a Unreal-- or an Epic MegaGrant to develop in Unreal, basically in collaboration with BeBop Sensors who makes these haptic hand tracking gloves.

For example, head tracking can come from optical trackers or inertial ones. Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction. Hand tracking software converts hand position into gestures.

For example, if you want to do an architectural visualization, it may be better to do that in VR, because you’re able to completely shift your context and be completely immersed with that environment. But I think we can stay on the cartoonish side of things as long as we hope things like eye tracking and hand tracking.
