The problem of these terms is that what is considered “harassing” depends on the group of people you are in : with some of my friends I can talk about kinky things for hours, with some other people I have to be more formal. Companies like HTC and Facebook have TOS that allows for the gathering of anonymized data. More info.

Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised. Samsung AR glasses.

Truly next-gen VR (featuring a fantastic display and very wide FOV, varifocal resolution, eye tracking, haptics controllers, etc…) will take many years to realize.

Another brand I’m very curious about is Samsung : sooner or later, it should announce something, either in VR or in AR.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.

We plan to go online with it on Amazon or Netflix and present it like that, and then have it be an additional thing that maybe Netflix or Amazon has on their platform in the Oculus or HTC. And they had great group that they'd assembled, but sadly, if they don't constantly push the envelope with media, you can't stay in business now.
