One of the most frustrating things about introducing people to virtual reality (VR), especially on a Samsung Gear VR, is that they can’t see what you see while you’re wearing the headset. “The live viewer was setup through the network of Unity,” explained Robustelli. That is, until now.

Here below I’m posting for you the best offers I’ve found: for instance, HTC is discounting basically every piece of hardware (including Vive Trackers that can be useful for all the VRChat fans out there), while Pico is offering one of the best deals with €100-worth-of-content given for free with every purchased Pico 4.

In the end, I still believe in the old predictions of Unity CEO John Riccitiello: Look at this graph shown by Mr. Riccitiello in 2017: the purple line is the one of the analysts, while the white one is the one forecasted by him. HTC will focus more on the enterprise market. So, personally, I bet on a PSVR 2 in 2021.

Samsung starts off the month debuting its VR Internet browser for Gear VR, becoming the first to offer a VR browser. Oculus and HTC had been holding details surrounding Rift and Vive launch windows close to the chest, probably because they had delays to announce and need to nail down new plans. December 2015.

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.

While VR video portals like Jaunt , Littlstar , Samsung VR , and others offer a single destination from which to stream many different 360 and VR videos, another popular way to distribute VR video has been as a standalone app, offering more complete control over the experience by the creator.

It is also a defensive, move that makes it avoid the loss of its partners, as it has happened with Insomniac Studio that has just been acquired by Sony. This will let Facebook absorb the expertise of the highest-talented game developers , and so secure the development of high-quality VR exclusive titles for the future.

We already saw this problem happening when HTC departed from the Steam platform to build its Viveport store because hardware sales were not enough to have an ambitious business. Let’s see: Google is still working with Qualcomm and Samsung on a mixed-reality headset. Muse looks a lot like ChatGPT integrated inside Unity.

This has been a pretty interesting week for me, having spoken at XR Safety Week and Stereopsia, and having published two cool articles about creating innovative SteamVR controllers and using Application SpaceWarp in Unity to almost double the framerate of your application. Microsoft and Samsung may be partnering for an AR device.

Do you remember the leaked letter written by Zuckerberg when he wanted to acquire Unity? Many other headset vendors are now targeting the B2B sector because they can’t compete with Facebook on the consumers’ one (Image by HTC Vive). The tech world domination. No competition. What if you don’t like this vision?
