Among this free content, the real interesting stuff is $500 in free Azure credits , while the other things are highly questionable (like 3 months of Unity Pro license… it is more a free trial than a real added value!!). Oculus delays shipments of the Elite Strap due to breakage reports. New details on the Lynx MR headset.

For example, there was a robot arm that calibrated the display, and pre-production units were assembled by hand. I imagined this must have been like when Oculus just started out. The passthrough had a bit of latency but was low enough for me to comfortably walk around while looking at the passthrough footage. Office Vibes.

That’s impressive enough, but thanks to the variable nature of the force applied, the gloves can also translate more subtle physical object properties, the company says, so you can detect the softness of a rubber duck compared to the solidity of a rock, for example. We built some Unity plugins that is somewhat similar to the Vive.

Valve have released the Unity based renderer for its superb VR experience collection The Lab in an effort to encourage adoption of what it sees as optimal rendering techniques for VR experiences. They don’t currently have any focus on utilising a form of Oculus’ Asynchronous Timewarp.

We started development using Oculus Development Kits (DK1), and our breakthrough came when we started to show our code on DK2’s with different business leads. In our team, we now love the (HTC) Vive and we’re certain Oculus will catch up. TH: Front end engine; we worked with both Unity and Unreal Engine on different experiences.

My “old” passion rekindled in 2012 with the Oculus Kickstarter campaign and even prompted me to pitch the use of VR technology in sales at Audi for which I was then also fortunate enough to take over the project management. A while ago you announced a partnership with Pico and Unity. What’s your stance about safety?

Just a few years ago I found the Oculus meeting room hidden in a corner of the show floor where they were showing the HD prototype of the Rift featuring improved resolution. TwinCam is an omni-directional stereoscopic live-viewing camera that reduces motion blur and latency during head rotation in a head-mounted display. Mission: ISS.

His lab was even visited by Zuckerberg before he decided to acquire Oculus. An iconic image of Jeremy Bailenson wearing an Oculus Rift DK2 (Image taken from Medium). We were using something called Visa, which was a very low-level library language, very different from what Unity is right now. I learned how to do the coding.

Meta Quest 3 (left) and Apple Vision Pro (right) We once asked Oculus executive Jason Rubin whether his company was considering a tethered compute model. Sure Quest 3 will dynamically adjust its exposure when you get near a bright light source, so that for example screens are temporarily visible, but Vision Pro doesn't have to.

I expect the smartglasses from Facebook, first of all, to be Facebook-branded (so, goodbye Oculus), to be very stylish (remember that Luxottica is the leading company for glasses and sunglasses), and to be able to connect to the smartphone without a tether. while we have seen the complicated life of Oculus hands-on booths at Best Buy.

An Apple AR headset has been a mainstay of the rumor mills for several years, and we expect Facebook to be creating an AR Oculus device. In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. In one scenario this may be some kind of AR browser, equivalent to today’s web browsers, like WebXR running on Chrome.

Twelve months ago I put a prediction on LinkedIn saying that I thought -- based on some of the things that we're seeing coming out of Unity -- that Unity was going to go public within the next 12 months. Oculus came up with a $300 VR headset that rivals anything in the market. Alex: Near zero latency. That was a year ago.

In virtual reality, you have to do this reprojection, Oculus calls it timewarp, and that means that your video card and your computer has to be running at a really high frame rate to correct for your head motion and we’ve rolled that all into the headset. It’s like yep yep, it’s got six milliseconds latency.

And in that way, we have an SDK for Android, an SDK for iOS, and then also an SDK for Unity, which you can use to deploy cross-platform that will allow you to interpret and read data from the sensors to do things like recognize gestures. So, for example, there’s an app called Bose Radar. You can also do arbitrary directions.
