With a long post on Magic Leap’s blog, in the end Rony Abovitz has admitted that the company is not going that well, and has announced a new course, that should eventually lead to Magic Leap 2. The blog post is full of the usual fluff: it could have been written in 10 lines instead of a big wall of text. Top news of the week.

If I had to choose the most common question I’ve received in these 4 years on the blog, social media, and Quora, I would surely pick “How do I get started with virtual reality?” The blog & social media. From it, ARKit has born, I guess. Also reading books helped me in improving my writing skills.

Moreover, Apple recently made a huge splash in the XR market with the Vision Pro, an XR device which leverages eye and hand tracking for its spatial computing input system.

If you look at someone like Apple, they aren’t about to put their logo on something like the current developer-focused headsets out there. I think we’ve seen the Go has seen some early success, with companies like Walmart announcing that they were buying a lot of them to train employees for things like customer service.

There are most probably many more people that failed doing VR games than the few ones whose success the big stores highlight in their blog posts. Some days ago, PwC has said that VR is the fast-growing media in revenue terms , with a 30% year-over-year growth expected from 2020 to 2025. This helps a lot if you want to be independent.

I think the battle with Apple has just begun. Apart from the AWE that has become an online event, as I’ve highlighted in my intro, also Oculus Connect 7 and Gamescom will transition to a fully digital version for 2020. This is very useful to train the kid in recognizing the emotions of the people surrounding him/her.
