I think that from the results of this battle, which will happen most probably in 2022, we will understand the trends that will drive the VR gaming market in all the upcoming years.

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. So I would say it’s the most in-depth book about what’s happening in AR and what the trends are today.

It’s good news by the way that there is continuous IPD adjustment (and with a wider range than before) and that thanks to eye tracking sensors, the headset can tell you if you have positioned it well on your head. There is also an eye-relief dial, so you can put the lenses very close to your eyes, for added field of view.
