We all love to make speculations on the technology and I am no exception. Not because I am a genius, but because the technology is still evolving very slowly and so it is very predictable. With ARKit you can also track your face, and some developers have started also using it as an animation tool. Augmented Reality in 2018.

That, in turn, allowed their partner developers to secure key contracts as they figured their way around the new technology. Because of that we hope – and it would make sense – if they adopt an OEM for their Mixed Reality technology.

This means that someone made some predictions that were totally wrong and this made lots of companies bet on a technology that was not ready enough, creating huge losses and so the general consensus that VR is not taking foot and so it is a dead technology. So, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Standalone headsets.

Last week there has been the CES, maybe the biggest technology show of the year. As it is a tradition of this blog , I have read everything I could about the AR and VR technologies showcased there, and I’ve condensed all the news in a single article , that you can skim fast until you find a topic you are interested in.

I envision this year in VR to be like last CES in VR : a time where we will see the growth of the technology , but no real disruption. We’ll see some experimentation with 5G , but again, this technology won’t be widespread enough yet to make it truly usable. Me wearing the Oculus Quest.

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. Vive Focus comes to the west.

Maybe with eye tracking and some more screen resolution, it may have been. I think that someone is fooling us with specifications: of course, if I have to render the standard Unity cube at 120 Hz, maybe also a Raspberry can be enough… but this can’t count as a minimum specification. Is the Index a next-gen device?

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.

If these Facebook features proved to be popular, more developers would use them, and finally, Facebook could have more power on the VR development tools , after the failed acquisition of Unity. But it also shows that VR is not exploding next year and that the consumer use of the technology will only represent 37% of the whole market.
