Actually, I have been pretty disappointed because there has been no hardware launch , but my lack of sleep has been rewarded by the announcement of a new software platform by HTC and also by HTC publicly showcasing some prototypes I made in the last weeks. It will be based on VirBELA; Vive Sessions. It will be based on ENGAGE; Vive Museum.

We’re hearing this since many years, but now the sensation is that we’re coming close to the moment when the prophecy will come true: the rumors are intensifying and the software (ARKit) and the hardware (depth cameras, 5G) designed by Apple are all converging to the glasses solution. Oculus Link now works with USB 2.0. port and cable.

It was too early for Unity, but they taught me about C++, C#, Java, OpenCV, OpenGL and other fancy development stuff. In that period, the Oculus DK2 ordered by Gianni arrived, and he told me that I should go to his office to try that device, and my reaction at that time was like “Oculus what??”

And by ’99, the hardware was there, so you can start running this on PCs. But what was it like kind of going through these growing pains of going from a million dollar simulator — millions of dollars simulator — to now we can buy an Oculus Quest for 500 bucks?

He has always been a great innovator and I admire his work since the good old Oculus DK 2 times, when he published “Sightline: The Chair” Now he is continuing this innovation work by building a completely open metaverse called Neos , where thanks to object modeling and scripting, it is possible to create everything you want.

My advice for aspiring VR creators (young and old) is to experiment with as many different creation tools as possible (Tiltbrush, Unity, 360 video, photogrammetry) and see what grabs you! I do believe that the VR we experience now will be seen as clunky hardware middle-men to our senses.

A lengthy Zoom meeting took place late one evening in January, with a group of legendary hardware developers from a highly secretive outfit. Conventional designs like the Oculus Touch, Valve Index, and HTC controllers are manufactured using relatively thin-walled, injection-molded plastic casings, usually split into two halves.

Which proved incredibly useful, giving me 24-hour access to fully equipped service workshops, plus a secure outdoor space for paint spraying or working with adhesives and plastics. I quickly learned that at least 3 hours needed putting aside to get anything meaningful done , otherwise you need to finish up just as you get going.
