Our brain is very plastic and the BCI could trigger the right parts of the brain so that you feel haptic sensations on 6 fingers if your avatar has 6 fingers. HaptX launches DK2 version of its haptic gloves. UltraLeap launches Gemini hands-tracking runtime. All of this is cool, but I think it’s also a smoke of hype.

Microsoft has increased especially the vertical field of view in this device, and I can tell you that they made a very good job in this, because more vertical FOV is important for immersion. The Achille’s heel of positional tracking is the light: if the room is completely dark, it doesn’t work anymore. Hands Tracking.

Especially the DualSense is an amazing piece of tech, with very stable IMUs and haptic sensations that increase a lot the “immersion” in the games : they can provide you the sensation of resistance, of textures of materials, of movements.

The Side Blockers make it very easy to see your keyboard & mouse in work-focused use cases, but nothing takes me out of immersive VR gaming more than seeing my bright carpet constantly below me. Field of view is arguably the single biggest driver of immersion in VR and switching back to Quest 2 feels somewhat claustrophobic.

We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits. The same is also true for input and output peripherals such as eye trackers and haptic devices. A goggle is better with an eye tracker, a hand controller and a haptic device. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction.

thanks to a better tracking algorithm that allows for less power consumption on the IR LEDs of the controllers (thanks TESTED for having pointed this out). The haptic feedback of these controllers has been improved , and they can provide much stronger vibrations than the one of the original Quest. Privacy in AR.
