Last month, more than 1,200 people participated in VR Fest MX , Mexico’s first international virtual reality festival, the first of its kind in Latin America and Spain. Mattel used the event to unveil its VR View-Master in Mexico, while Samsung and Unity were also some of the event’s main sponsors.
The success of the Ray-Ban Meta has triggered the smartglasses hype: when I was at CES, I saw many startups launching their AI-powered smartglasses and we have heard rumors of all the major brands (including Apple and Samsung) working on their own smartglasses devices, too. But as usual, I warn you to be careful of the hype.
If this partnership is exclusive, Meta has just got a huge edge over its competitors like Samsung or Google. But a new report in Korean magazine “Daily Korea” states that Samsung may not be in a hurry to release its headset anymore, because Meta canceled its Quest Pro 2 plans with LG, and Apple is postponing its Vision Pro 2.
And so here we are again: Oculus vs HTC, America vs China, Hugo Barra vs Alvin Wang Graylin. According to some reviewers, the display may also be the same one made by Samsung. The Vive Focus was most probably the best VR standalone on the market when Oculus last week announced what will be the first consumer 6DOF VR standalone headset.
We were so blessed to find literally the man that wrote the book on Unity [chuckles] Joe Hocking, to join the team. And he, with the new phones -- the iPhone 12, and the iPad, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 and up -- they all have infrared scanners on them now. And if the plan goes well right across America, so fantastic.

Michael specializes in helping overseas brands build their presence in North America. Samsung, Nokia entered with their OZO, Jaunt — which recently just got sold to Verizon — they had their Jaunt One camera. They used to actually just build virtual experiences and it would use gaming engines like Unity and Unreal.

(PS Remember that there is an ongoing giveaway of physical copies of the Sam&Max game for PSVR for all people in North America! For this reason, even if across the years some good headsets came out from that ecosystem, like the Samsung Odyseey+, the platform never took off. Microsoft in the end has decided to deprecate it.

Feature comparison between ARCore, ARKit and the Unity Handheld AR SDK (Image by Unity). Meta is having funding issues because of the new trade wars between America and China. Samsung itself has stated that it is very interested in developing a future headset that is able to deliver both AR and VR.
This has been a pretty interesting week for me, having spoken at XR Safety Week and Stereopsia, and having published two cool articles about creating innovative SteamVR controllers and using Application SpaceWarp in Unity to almost double the framerate of your application. Microsoft and Samsung may be partnering for an AR device.

In the USA, it is almost mainstream; in Europe, it is something for people that have some knowledge of gaming or technology; in South America, is very difficult to get a headset. Another brand I’m very curious about is Samsung : sooner or later, it should announce something, either in VR or in AR.
