It’s the beginning of a new year, and I started thinking about the future of immersive realities for 2025 and beyond. The controller of MagicLeap 2 features onboard cameras that perform inside-out tracking, too. Will it survive this year or the next ones?
When MagicLeap One was revealed, Rony Abovitz stated he was already working on MagicLeap Two and Three, for instance; Facebook believes a lot in having avatars that truly represent ourselves in XR , and it is a field in which they will invest a lot. Apple AR headset may have been delayed to 2025. Some XR fun.
The report, which hasn’t received comment from either Facebook or Luxottica, maintains that the device should launch to consumers sometime between 2023 – 2025. The report mixes both terminologies, so it’s unclear exactly which end of the spectrum the proposed device should fall on.
Every year I like to play the guessing game for the Oculus/Facebook/Meta Connect making my list of predictions… which are not always correct, but they are good because they entice all the community people to play this game with me and to tell how they would love to see XR evolving. Lol), it could help adoption even more.
Waiting until now would mean that next VR game by Valve would come out in 2024–2025… do you really think they don’t want to make the ecosystem to grow now? Oculus Quest is available again in some countries. In some countries (not US), Oculus Quest and Rift S have got back in stock. Oculus rolls out runtime v15 for Quest.
While Meta has mentioned that the developer community may gain access to passthrough video in early 2025, this feature has not yet been implemented. Microsoft HoloLens Loses $22 Billion Life Line to Oculus Founder Microsofts HoloLens has taken another major hit , potentially signalling the end of the mixed-reality headset in the future.
While on the topic of acquisitions Facebooks takeover of Oculus initially was somewhat hostile with internal disputes between Oculus founders and Zuckerberg and his leadership team. On the surface it would appear that VR / AR adoption is rising steadily.
CNBC reports the project is codenamed ‘Orion’, with an estimated launch taking place sometime between 2023 and 2025. The ‘Orion’ project still exists but is a far more advanced AR device along the lines of MagicLeap One or HoloLens 2. That little red and white logo can make all the difference.
Arrives in 2022, with glasses to follow sometime before 2025). If you haven’t seen a Microsoft Hololens or a MagicLeap you probably have no clue about how amazing this will be. But I hear it is years ahead of what Facebook is building in its Oculus Quest standalone VR headsets. New 3D experiences for inside cars.
I finally — finally, after a year and a half — I got to try out the MagicLeap in Laval, and it was a good experience. Personally, I have some concerns about the cost of the Hololens and the MagicLeap devices at this time. And I see that right now, Oculus is filling that void. Alan: What do you try it?

I was looking at 2025 for ubiquitous AR glasses. Alan: With Facebook now working on AR, and you've got MagicLeap, and Microsoft's Hololens. And, you know, MagicLeap-- people are going to expect when they walk around holograms, they stay put. And I know Oculus Quest just introduced hand tracking.

There was (and still is) quite a good hype for these headsets, exactly as there was hype for what was Oculus Santa Cruz, the codename of the Oculus Quest. The device will be available next year only in the US, then at the end of the year in other countries (like the UK), making me think that a more global rollout may happen in 2025.

As a tech guy, of course, I’m all in for retro compatibility, and I would still love to sometimes attach my Oculus DK2 to my laptop and remember the good old times playing Tuscany. I know that I’m saying something unpopular, but I understand Microsoft’s decision.
Mark Zuckerberg talks about the future of VR and AR at Facebook’s recent Oculus Connect conference. It isn’t alone, we know of many companies that are spending billions on same, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Sony, MagicLeap, Huawei, and others. The tech industry is gearing up for a new paradigm shift.
I mean, if you look at the latest batch of VR headsets, the capabilities of something like the Oculus Quest, and what you get for that price bracket, it’s just unbelievable just how far it’s gone, because I still look back to case studies from places like the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford.
