The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Eye tracking: Fove: Eyefluence: SMI: Bladerunner (film).

And one of the articles that was recently published was a report on VR as an empathy builder, through Tech Trends. You sat there and you talked to the person and it recorded your eye tracking, your hand motions, your head pose. I think the only one that really has eye tracking is the HTC Vive Pro Eye.

From these data, it is clearly readable that 2020 won’t be the “year of VR” , but will be a year in which VR will improve and grow, following the trends of 2019 (enterprise first). The result is a virtual avatar that looks incredibly realistic in his movements, since it has the eyes, the fingers and the whole body tracked.

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. The eye tracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. Beliaeff: When you watch the trends in engineers, it’s interesting. Ellsworth: VR is amazing.

I can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year. GENERAL TRENDS. I think the metaverse will follow a similar trend.
