Coronavirus is back in Italy and from yesterday we’re having new restrictions like a night curfew, some kind of shops closed, etc… I hope that you and the people you love are safe. A new FCC listing appears for an HTC Vive headset. While Oculus is getting all the glory for the Quest, its competitors are not sleeping.

HoloLens 2 availability has been expanded to 15 new regions : Italy (YESSS!), These numbers are a great piece of news because they show how VR adoption is growing and that the Oculus Quest 2 launch is contributing to this growth. Oculus delays shipments of the Elite Strap due to breakage reports. News worth a mention.

Anyway, in these two weeks, even with some difficulties, I’ve managed to work quite at the same pace that I had in Italy , and we are going full speed ahead in improving the platform (some news about it is coming very soon…). While still in Italy, I verified that Microsoft Teams, Unity, and Github were accessible from China.

It has become one of the headset manufacturers with the biggest worldwide market, and the market leader (together with HTC) in the B2B virtual reality sector. Its latest headset, the Pico Neo 3 , was a very good Oculus Quest 2 clone , that also brought some innovations, like the DP Cable to connect it to the PC for a true PCVR experience.

Italy, Canada, and China together to create an amazing video about these VR glasses! This remind me of the initial choice that HTC took when it released the 6DOF tracking add-on for the Vive Focus : in the end, it was never released and the company just launched the new Vive Focus Plus. I strongly advise you to watch it here below.

As a long-time AR enthusiast, and one of the first to have tried Google Glass in Italy, I have to admit that I will consider AR mainstream only when it will be on glasses that we will wear all day , when we’ll live in a completely shared mixed reality world (the AR Cloud). The answer is not so trivial. And that’s it!

If I remember well, some company in China was already experimenting on cloud rendering for the HTC Vive, so users could spare buying a VR-ready PC. and promote the development of rendering processing technology to high image quality, low latency, and low power consumption. The last paragraph of this point talks about VR videos.
