I thought it would have taken me a lot before I would be able to try the MagicLeap One , but luckily this has not been the case. But while we were great on the technical side, we weren’t good at doing business and marketing (I only started my blog in summer 2016 ), so in 2017 we closed the curtain on our crazy adventure.
Apple is a notorious black box when it comes to internal projects, although sometimes details based on supply chain rumors shed a sliver of light on what might be happening with the company’s AR/VR headset behind closed doors. The report says Cook “rarely visits the group at its offices away from the main Apple campus.”
A report by The Verge maintains Google is also now gearing up to produce an AR headset that could directly compete with similar offerings from the likes of Apple and Meta.
We have lots of non-news about Apple’s XR efforts. The hype around Apple glasses is huge , and everything that gets shared about Apple and XR gets many views. We already knew that Tim likes AR and “what we have to offer” may also be a potato with an Apple brand costing $400. Other relevant news. Image by The Information).
Microsoft released the first-gen Zune in 2006, an MP3 player that looked to compete with Apple’s largely dominant line of iPods. Apple wasn’t the first to make a portable MP3 player, although it was the first to make one everyone wanted. Zooming out, Zune’s ultimate defeat belies a larger pattern of behavior.
Provided the report is true, it appears Google will now need to rely on Samsung to compete with Meta and Apple in XR. In 2016, the company’s Daydream VR platform was positioned to compete with Meta’s (then Facebook’s) own mobile VR offering, Samsung Gear VR. Project Iris was said to ship as early as 2024.
adds supports for Apple’s ARKit 2.0 along with MagicLeap support. Updated AR SDKs & MagicLeap. with development support for MagicLeap was released earlier this year. On the AR front, UE 4.20 and Google’s ARCore 1.2, Mixed Reality Compositing. as of UE 4.19). Now UE 4.20
The term Dogmented Reality was first coined for a 2016 April Fools gag from Meta, but now it’s very much a real thing for some smartphone users. Apple’s new ARKit platform might be about to change that, however. any sufficiently advanced doggo technology is indistinguishable from magic. coming soon.
The Meta 2 augmented reality dev kit began pre-orders in March of 2016 and has apparently seen quite a bit of interest. By the end of 2016, the company says they began shipping the first Meta 2 dev kits, and by the end of 2017 they expect to ship some 10,000 headsets.
Apple is ramping up development of the operating system for its headset, with a plan to launch in 2023, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports. Apple has in recent weeks ramped up development of realityOS (rOS), its operating system that the headset will run, and previewed the headset to the board of directors, Gurman reports.
For the original HoloLens headset from 2016, the same will happen after December 10 2024, just over two months from now. With passthrough headsets still years out, and MagicLeap still focused on consumers, Microsoft dominated the enterprise AR market for years with HoloLens 2.
The numbers are good if we compare the Quest to other VR headsets (probably the Rift has sold 1M units since 2016… so 400,000 units in few months is a good number), but are bad in the grand scheme of things : the Nintendo Switch, which Oculus compares the Quest to, has sold over 36M consoles since launch. Steam launches Remote Play Together.
and also why the $2+B investment in MagicLeap was not enough to bring it to success. It’s a good moment for VR: thanks to the strong sales of the Oculus Quest 2 and the rumors of Apple entering the space soon, there is much more confidence in the future of immersive technologies. Investments in VR companies are on the rise.
“When you change the way you see the world, you change the world you see, and this is what has happened with the HoloLens,” said Satya Nadella as he kicked off the much-anticipated launch, over 3 years after the device was first launched in 2016. Let’s be honest, 2016 seems like a very long time ago now. Spatial Anchors.
It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by MagicLeap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. An Apple AR headset has been a mainstay of the rumor mills for several years, and we expect Facebook to be creating an AR Oculus device.
You can enjoy the full audio recording below: Episode 28 of the VRScout Report, we got new 360 toys on iOS, Hololens is helping elevator technicians, VR might help you control your dreams, Apple CEO Tim Cook on augmented reality, VR/AR industry funding wrapup, and more… iOS NOW CAN TAKE 360 PHOTOS WITH GOOGLE CARDBOARD CAMERA, TOO.
“Back in 2015 and 2016, headsets came online… and ‘everybody’s gonna get rich on VR.’ He also has thoughts on everyone’s AR favorite topic: Apple glasses. He also doesn’t believe it fits Apple’s M.O. My guess is Apple will announce in 2021 and release in 2022.
Since MagicLeap’s inception in 2011, there has been great innovation in the technology sector focused in the virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) space with MagicLeap trying to create a new hardware interface designs. Enter MagicLeap.
Even MagicLeap showed up to say much and show little. RIM stayed enterprise-focused for so long, they were completely upended when Apple decided to stop segmenting the market and just build a better phone for everyone. Apple is not often a first-mover in technology — but neither does it hurry to catch up to others.
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. Meanwhile, heftier VR products from Facebook’s Oculus and MagicLeap have mostly been for gamers.
It's unclear whether Kalinowski's comment refers to the original Oculus Rift developer kit, which over 10 years ago showed that relatively wide field of view VR was possible with affordable and mass-producible hardware, or the first consumer Rift which launched in 2016.
While everyone counted on MagicLeap to bring AR eye-wear to the masses, what MagicLeap did in-fact was lend a stigma to Augmented Reality with unfulfilled promises. However the positives that came with the MagicLeap debacle is, it renewed an interest in competitors and entrepreneurs to do AR right.
The reasons are plentiful, but all tend to circle around the idea that it’s too early for software and too expensive to try to take on Apple or Facebook on the hardware front. On the hardware side, the ghost of MagicLeap’s formerly hyped glory still looms large.
It is more refined than the original Vive, but it has not that Apple-like approach that has the Rift. But the lenses are so 2016. The device appears better manufactured than the original Vive and I also like its blue color: black was too sad. Regarding the comfort, it is amazing. The fluffy foam of the Pro is very comfortable.
Not to mention how 3D technologies are being adopted and developed by major companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple. Back in 2016, we posted an infographic about 3D models and VR. On the other hand, the threshold for anyone to develop a small project (a short movie or video, a game, etc.)
From Rift to Apple Watch to Snap Spectacles, the trend is toward wearable computing. Meta is working on an AR headset, which puts them in the same league as Microsoft and MagicLeap. The challenge facing today’s developers is to recognize that the paradigm for personal technology is shifting.
Google, Apple, and other map programmes offer this functionality to users. Smart glass manufacturers and solution providers like Vuzix, Google, Nreal, RealWear, Lenovo, MagicLeap, and others offer full-spectrum devices capable of agile use cases. People are now finding AR embedded in many devices.
We're going to dig into using MagicLeap and Hololens and mixed reality headsets as a tool for business. And kind of around 2016, 17, 18 we built a game for ARKit, called Zombie Gunship Revenant. Apple featured it a whole bunch of times. Today we have Arash Keshmirian, co-founder of Extality. Well, there we go.

In 2013, after 10 years of creating video games, he joined MagicLeap where he was promoted to senior director, overseeing content and SDK teams. At MagicLeap, Paul recognized the lack of accessible tools for non-game developers that was hindering widespread adoption of immersive and spatial computing technologies.

There’s MagicLeap– Alan: Still a challenge. MagicLeap is putting out their next generation of glasses and also shipping to the European market for sure — we have the glasses here, but we cannot currently roll out those glasses, because they don’t even have certifications for the European markets.

Making an AR headset accessible enough for consumers is a vastly different challenge to producing higher cost enterprise headsets— just ask MagicLeap. Samsung partnered with Oculus (now Meta) back in 2014 to build Gear VR, a snap-in VR smartphone holder that was a generational leap in terms of low-latency mobile VR.
