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.
Provided the report is true, it appears Google will now need to rely on Samsung to compete with Meta and Apple in XR. Still, it seems its Samsung XR headset partnership and AR software development has become the main focus.

Existing Spatial investors also include the likes of Samsung NEXT, Baidu Ventures, and LG Ventures to name a few. The latest funding round was led by White Star Capital, iNovia and Kakao Ventures, with continued participation from Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger and Zynga founder Mark Pincus.
This comes alongside an alleged partnership with Samsung that would see the development of a wholly new consumer AR device that is rumored to tether to a Samsung smartphone. Making an AR headset accessible enough for consumers is a vastly different challenge to producing higher cost enterprise headsets— just ask MagicLeap.
” 2016 saw the arrival of 3 major consumer virtual reality headsets, the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR. billion in 2016 to $18.6 This sets the stage for the multiple aspects of the market that device makers, platforms and content providers, and developers will be addressing in the months and years to come.”
To its credit, the company had the foresight to release HoloLens in 2016, a full two years before unicorn startup MagicLeap could get its first standalone AR headset out the door. Three years later it released HoloLens 2, which directly competes today against MagicLeap Two.
Spatial was founded in 2016 driven by an impressive line-up of investors including Macintosh co-founder Andy Hertzfeld and Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger. The company’s own co-founders, Anand Agarawala and Jinha Lee, have their own impressive pasts including working at Google, MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung. Meet Spatial.
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. More info.
I’ve been a big fan of the cute little Samsung Gear 360 camera since its first unveiling in the spring of 2016, and always recommend it to people inquiring about the best consumer-friendly 360 cameras out there. The cost is lower than the 2016 version with a pricetag of $229 and you can record in up to 4K resolution.
billion in 2016 alone. He talks about the hardware makers who are putting out devices today, even when the content isn’t ready for prime time. […] if you run into anybody that works for Oculus, or anybody that works for Vive, or Samsung working on Gear, or MagicLeap folks etc.
Samsung starts off the month debuting its VR Internet browser for Gear VR, becoming the first to offer a VR browser. First, HTC delays the Vive until April 2016, with plans to show an updated developer kit at CES in January. At the end of the month, Oculus officially delays the release of Touch controllers until the last half of 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.
Supported phones: Samsung: S8, S8 plus, Note 8, S9, S9 plus, Huawei: Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 pro. But for developers that have not the money to buy a HoloLens or a MagicLeap (when it will come out, maybe in 3018), Dreamglass can be an interesting opportunity. IR camera for hand gesture recognition. 3.5mm jack.
Yes, Google might still be resurgent with Android, powered by Owlchemy's insights and Samsung's hardware , and other companies might surprise with a novel strategy too. I'll go so far as to wager it's probably game over for MagicLeap and HoloLens and some other optically transparent approaches.
But the lenses are so 2016. The Vive Pro has only one “normal” cable going from it to the PC, so it is far better than the old one that had that monster wire. The fluffy foam of the Pro is very comfortable. The fact that there is integrated audio is great and the audio headphones are comfortable and work very well.
MagicLeap. Me, wearing a MagicLeap One. The most important news has been for sure the launch of the MagicLeap One. Rear view of the MagicLeap One. MagicLeap. MagicLeap will work a lot in trying to have new compelling experiences on its marketplace.
GB: MagicLeap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Outside of the sort of people in this room and in the games press, I don’t think most people know what MagicLeap is. When you talk about investment, certainly MagicLeap has garnered the most, but ODG just closed a big round. VR is inherently isolating.
— it was the Samsung GearyVR at the time. But another thing that in 2016, 2017, you guys did an AR [experience], The Box. Have you tried MagicLeap? Sam: I have tried the MagicLeap, yeah. Alan: So the thing with AR, you’ve got glasses — Nreal, MagicLeap — we go to these glasses.

I remember in, oh man, it must be 2015/16, Coachella livestreamed 360 content to VR headsets and I believe it was pushing to the -- it was! -- it was the Samsung GearyVR at the time. But another thing that in 2016, 2017, you guys did an AR [experience], The Box. Have you tried MagicLeap? Sam: Yeah, you're right.
Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtual reality company MagicLeap. In June 2019, MagicLeap accused Xu of stealing AR glasses technology when he was an engineer working at the firm. Founded in 2016, VeeR is a leading VR entertainment platform available worldwide, across all major VR headsets?
When you when you think of all of the technologies we have with Hololens and MagicLeap and we have all these amazing technologies for spatial computing. I think MagicLeap calls it the Magicverse. And when we started in 2016, it was probably the first fund dedicated to investing in areas of AR.

I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and MagicLeap. I think the three-degrees-of-freedom [3Dof] sets — like the Go and the Samsung Gear VR before it — are very well-suited for video viewing, that sort of thing.

If they will prove to be successful, I can imagine also other brands entering the field , like Samsung (that until some years ago was interested in hybrid headsets) or some Chinese brands like Shadow Creator. MagicLeap 2 is going to launch this year.
