This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and Magic Leap. The M2 delivers unparalleled standalone processing performance, while the new R1 chip is specialized to process input from the cameras, sensors, and microphones to enable what looked like high fidelity, low latency passthrough for a real-time sense of presence.

Together with connection reliability, the Client updates included much improved inside-out tracking, local dimming, lighthouse mode, audio latency adjustment, bug fixes, and other important features.

Motion-to-Photon latency is touted at 15ms whilst the refresh rate is either 90hz or 120hz.

The Crystal controllers are surprisingly small, each one weighing only 130 grams.

Twelve months ago I put a prediction on LinkedIn saying that I thought -- based on some of the things that we're seeing coming out of Unity -- that Unity was going to go public within the next 12 months. Alex: Near zero latency. That was a year ago.
