Bernard Kress, principal optical architect on Microsoft’s HoloLens team, has left the company to take on the role of Director of XR Engineering at the recently formed Google Labs. Now Kress is back at Mountain View working on Google’s next AR headset.
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2, the company’s most recent smartglasses (or rather smart glass ), was only available to partner companies when it launched in May 2019. Now Google is allowing its third-party hardware vendors to sell the headset direct to developers. Image courtesy Google.
billion in 2013, or just around three years after Magic Leap was founded by Abovitz in stealth mode. Image by Road to VR And unlike Microsoft, Apple’s primary focus on consumer hardware makes it the ideal “rising tide to lift all boats” when it comes to XR headsets. And that’s in spite of its $3,500 price tag.
All the big tech players — Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon — are in the game as well. Google was the first major technology company to release a head-worn computer when it introduced Google Glass in 2013. Google’s approach was significantly lighter and simpler than what’s come since.
Google launched Google Glass , and Microsoft launched HoloLens , a head-mounted display (Krevelen, 2010)(Jaimini, 2016). 2010s : Companies are investing in the potential of this area like Google with ARCore and Apple with ARKit (Papagiannis, 2017). Evolution of Augmented Reality (Craig, 2013) by fernanda rodríguez.
Microsoft, Google and Apple all have their own approaches to augmented reality and virtual reality, but the race for the face is particularly critical to Facebook and Amazon, because they have yet to establish computing gateways. Microsoft (enterprise) 4. Google (search). We view who is best-positioned in consumer AR: 1.
Like Google Cardboard before it, the Labo VR Kit for Switch is effectively a drop-in holder for the console, with lenses which each see one half of the screen for a stereoscopic view. “We wanted to design an experience that encourages both virtual and real-world interactions among players through passing around Toy-Con creations.”.
You can enjoy the full audio recording below: In this weekly VRScout Report, Google Earth in VR is a rush, Facebook analyzes your face w/ augmented reality, GE uses AR to talk to machines, the funding wrap-up, cure lazy eye with VR, and more…. GOOGLE EARTH IN VR IS A RUSH. GE USES AR TO TALK TO MACHINES IN MICROSOFT PARTNERSHIP.
Google Glass was released in 2013, which wasn’t powerful enough. But the real inflection point for enterprise AR hardware came in 2015: Microsoft Hololens. After some challenges getting Microsoft’s attention, Montgomerie persisted and got a partner deal. Then the hardware started to evolve quickly.
The device may remind some of Microsoft’s proof-of-concept system Microsoft revealed back in 2013 called IllumiRoom. The player can also access Google Maps, Street View, and popular social platforms to project on the screen and users can drag-and-drop them around the wall via the smartphone app.
The VR industry is moving a lot faster than it did in 2013 — when GameFace started — and companies like Microsoft, Google and Facebook are racing to provide better and more convenient solutions built by ever-growing teams.
it makes strategic sense that Pearson has partnered with Microsoft to develop content for the HoloLens Click To Tweet. It’s courseware that you can interact with either on a PC, or stick it on a Google cardboard and in there you’d have hotspots where you can find out more about certain elements, or control where you go within the experience.
Google , Intel, Facebook and Microsoft have all either already begun or announced significant VR initiatives in the past 12-24 months.

Google and Sony both have intellectual property around waveguide designs similar in nature. Patents filed in 2013-2014 explore a variety of exotic optical designs, functional on paper, but with specifications outside the tolerances of existing manufacturing methods. Near-eye Optics Basics.
In 2013 I was blown away with my first experience in Oculus Rift. The original Meta AR headset was a great proof of concept with a great 40° field of view much like Microsofts Hololens is today. First of all lets look at the word Image, it breaks down to I MAGE, as in I the magician create a reality for you to perceive.
And if you stack the billions spent there against Sony, Microsoft, Magic Leap, Google, Apple and others, are all these executives investing too much on AR & VR, or too little? — Jeri Ellsworth (@jeriellsworth) February 13, 2013. Does “bit” understate or overstate how much faster things could have gone? ” Yup.
Co-founder Anand Agarawala sold his previous startup, BumpTop — a 3D physics multi-touch desktop — to Google, and also demoed this in a TED Talk. Co-founder Jinha Lee developed pioneering AR interfaces at MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung and then also showed them at a TED talk.

You can go into Google, like "HTC Vive blog Steve Bambury" or something, you'll probably find them. I'm a Microsoft master trainer, so I do a lot of work with Microsoft technology. I'm sure you read it, Alan, about whether or not in the long run the Google Cardboard did more harm to the VR industry than good.
