In the interview with me, he talked about many topics, like the rumors he heard on Apple Glasses, on the Oculus Quest 2 , the America vs China war, XR entrepreneurship, Tesla, and more! But of course, the technology is still not there: the Oculus Quest is still uncomfortable, we can’t read texts in it, and so on.
Enhanced reality devices – especially AR — will be ubiquitous in another decade or so, and used in nearly every aspect of our lives and in nearly every industry, from automotive to medical care, education to neuroscience, engineering to shopping.

This traces back to Facebook’s Oculus acquisition in early 2014 that kicked off the current wave of excitement….including That excitement culminated in 2016 after the Oculus acquisition had time to set off a chain reaction of startup activity, tech-giant investment, and VC inflows for the “next computing platform.”

It’s a golden thread that will be woven through so many of the technologies that we’re going to see at CES — everything from automotive to robotics to smartphones to health and fitness. Automotive is certainly a spot where AI is going to be shown prominently. Facebook has Oculus. Curran: It runs the gamut.
There’s no doubt that the announcements made on this conference might be the clearest direction where VR/MR/AR are heading as an industry, as it will happen after Microsoft Windows 10 Mixed Reality launches, as well as seeing the first sales results of next generation Oculus Rift headset.
I think one of the key things was, as I’m sitting here in my office and watching UPS deliver the package I ordered yesterday from Amazon. I have several friends who worked in the automotive industry, and when you model a concept car — just to do the exterior modeling — it’s all done through clay, traditionally.

We also speak with automotive manufacturers, around how they can start marketing and merchandising future car models that might not even be done yet, but through the use of these new technology experiences that let us create 3D models of the car, and sort of market that to potential customers before they might even arrive in the showroom.

This week has mostly been in the sign of Oculus, with many news and updates from the brand controlled by Facebook. Even if most of this roundup will be about Oculus, I have decided to put another brand on top of it and it is Magic Leap. Together with Air Link, Oculus has also rolled out the new version of Oculus Avatars.

Started covering those areas when they were very tied to games, especially when the original Oculus Rift was launched. Oculus Go came out with this $199 headset – this really inexpensive headset — and they sold millions of these units. How many in the automotive? And we also look at consumer software numbers as a whole.

There are plenty of products like the Oculus Go, which is just a few hundred dollars, that give you more of a robust kit than something like a Google Cardboard, where you can dip your toe in. I'll give an example in automotive and aerospace. But it's so important that it's done in a tasteful and high-quality way.

Good news for us developers: Meta has updated the Oculus SDK, and now it is possible to implement voice commands and spatial anchors in our Quest experiences. The new update also brings hand tracking support in the Oculus OpenXR plugin. Meta updates the SDK for Quest. Have I already told you that I love this game? Learn more.
Oculus Quest and controllers (Image by Oculus). Oculus is updating its Rift S and Quest offering. This has been an interesting week of news and updates for Oculus’s flagship devices. And finally, Oculus has deployed a new update to remove the annoying “Static Flash” bug that was taunting Rift S users.
I can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year. Me wearing my branded Oculus Quest 2. So… let’s start!
