What an exciting week for technology, with the Facebook Connect, PS5 price announcement, Apple event and the release of RTX30 graphics cards! Even Apple uses modified ARM chips. an ARM chips can be installed on IoT sensors that communicate to a server where an NVIDIA card is used to perform machine learning on the data).
Top news of the week (Image by Apple) Apple Vision Pro 2 may come in 2026 The rumors about the Apple Vision Pro 2 continue. It seems that most of the rumors are aligning on the launch of an Apple Vision Pro 2 in 2026–2027. What a time to be alive! Matt Miesnieks said that the rumor aligns with some things he heard.
Several reports over the past two years have suggested Apple is getting ready to manufacture an AR headset , and possibly ship it sometime in 2020—something that’s so far unsubstantiated by the company itself. SEE ALSO Report: Apple Nearly Acquired LeapMotion but the Deal Fell Through.
I need to rush out this newsletter episode because otherwise tomorrow Apple launches its headset and no one will read my articles: everyone will be too busy reading “The top 5 features of the Apple headset” or “The 7 reasons why the Apple headset can revolutionize peeling potatoes”. How is Apple going to sell this headset?
Probably Ultraleap, or even when it was just LeapMotion, should have aimed to be bought by a headset manufacturer before all the major XR brands started developing hand tracking internally. This means that Samsung wont go all-in with hand tracking like Apple did. I wonder if they will ever open it up to other developers.
Apple has killed its AR glasses project… maybe. A piece of unexpected news has shaken the XR communities this week: according to a report on Digitimes Taiwan, Apple has abandoned its AR/VR glasses project and all the members of the team have been re-allocated in other teams. AR is still alive, Apple will still release its AR glasses.
Valve was collaborating with eye-tracking company SMI to add eye tracking to OpenVR (thanks u/PrAyTeLLa for noticing it), and this is a clear sign that it is interested in this technology, but I’ve also to warn you that some months later this announcement, SMI has been acquired by Apple. PCB specifications. Connectivity.
The incumbents have an advantage with existing mapping such as Google Maps, Earth, Street View, Apple Maps and the Indoor Maps Program, and Bing Maps but there are also significant geographic data players such as Foursquare and OpenStreetMap. Location is at the heart of the AR Cloud.
One great advantage in doing marketing as a team, as a collective instead of alone , is that we can pull together our learnings, our data, our previous experiments. Sometimes I just want Apple to get their headset out, with one-right-way to do things, and save us all from bad VR UX once and for all.
Above: David Holz, founder of LeapMotion, shows off hand-tracking in VR. The headset used sensors to detect my fingers, using software from LeapMotion. Gazzaley’s brainwave sensors would capture data on the part of the brain that was stimulated. He said the brain doesn’t see the raw data of reality.
Apple acquires startup SPACES. What is sure is that Apple continues to slowly build its AR and VR technology, so that one day it could come out with something amazing.

Then you've got glasses like the North glasses, which just give you a little heads up display, like your Apple Watch display. Are things like midair haptics-- I know-- I guess LeapMotion would be a competitor to you guys, even though they're using a hardware solution to do that. Super exciting stuff.

Of course, he’s not going to abandon ads, so Meta will still also be about data collection. Ultraleap (formerly LeapMotion) has just released the fifth version of its hands-tracking engine. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify. Ultraleap releases Gemini hands-tracking runtime. Learn more. Some XR fun.
