Little Cities (2022) , the pint-sized VR city manager, is getting a new version for Apple Vision Pro that’s all about mixed reality gameplay. Called Little Cities: Diorama, the game will launch for Vision Pro through Apple Arcade on December 5th. Check out the trailer below, courtesy MIXED.
Customize your handgestures to activate specific visual and haptic feedback experiences. . The sensors are able to identify your left and right hands as well as whether you’re looking at the palm or backside. Gesturecontrols can be customized through an app to activate menus and can provide visual and haptic feedback.
Developers will soon be able to integrate handgesturecontrol into their projects on the ARKit platform, no extra hardware needed. These motions will allow users to alter digital elements and gesture them anywhere they’d like within their 3D space, opening up an endless supply of potential use-case scenarios. “
ManoMotion, a computer-vision and machine learning company, today announced they’re integrated their company’s smartphone-based gesturecontrol with Apple’s augmented reality developer tool ARKit , making it possible to bring basic hand-tracking into AR with only the use of the smartphone’s onboard processors and camera.
Both Apple and Meta revealed highly anticipated headsets in the last seven days. Meta’s seemingly hasty announcement of the Quest 3 seems to have been timed to come out before Apple’s announcement of the Vision Pro. Apple reported over 10 million pixels per eye, but did not release familiar resolution metrics or field-of-view.
The open beta of the PC version of VRChat now natively supports handtracking, via the SteamVR Skeletal Input system. The VRChat standalone app on the Quest Store has supported handtracking since late 2022. If you have an Apple Vision Pro, you can use ALVR.
Rumors suggest Apple might be working on some new AR specs too, and Samsung might even decide to switch its upcoming XR headset out for a pair of smart glasses. They were among the first in the industry to achieve a retina-level display, combined with gesturecontrol capabilities and a true “wireless” wearing experience.
Other, more premium headsets, like the Apple Vision Pro , are definitely better from a mixed reality perspective, but, of course, the price tag is much higher. Additionally, its worth noting that the Quest 3S doesnt have a depth sensor, which makes position tracking a little clunky at times.
In a segment of a wide-ranging interview with Lex Fridman , Zuckerberg discussed improvements Quest 3 brings over previous Meta headsets and reiterated his views on Apple Vision Pro. On Monday Apple revealed its own headset Vision Pro , priced from $3500. Fridman also asked Zuckerberg about his views on Apple's announcement.
The Pico 4S device is expected to come with controllers for traditional XR navigation and a wristband-style controller indicating handtracking and gesturecontrol. After years of rumours and speculation, Apple debuted the Vision Pro earlier this year. The images suggest support for two input methods.
The new Snap Spectacles 5 , on the other hand, introduce a range of capabilities that have helped Snap emerge as a real competitor in the world of augmented reality specs. These glasses feature gesturecontrol capabilities, integrated artificial intelligence, and phenomenal crisp visuals, with two miniature projectors.
Apple XR vs competitors: Which extended reality ecosystem should your company invest in right now? Its safe to say Apples XR technologies, from the flagship Apple Vision Pro headset to the revolutionary VisionOS operating system, made waves in the enterprise. Plus, Apples broader ecosystem ties everything together.
The Apple Vision Pro has made sensational headlines across global media outlets, leading to renewed interest in virtual, augmented, mixed, and extended reality (VR/AR/MR/XR) technologies. “Everyone was even waiting till Apple announced something. He noted that Apple spoke less about XR but rather about spatial computing.
Unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2023 , the new device includes a trove of innovative features such as a “retina-level” electrochromic adaptive display, lighting adjustment, Snapdragon Spaces tethering, and handtracking, among others.
They’re definitely a lot lighter than products like the Apple Vision Pro. The big downside, potentially, is that although the Specs can trackhand movements and voice, they don’t include eye tracking. That means you won’t get the same “glance to select” features you’d get from something like the Apple Vision Pro.
These included an ongoing row with Apple over advertising and privacy upgrades, regional and transnational restrictions on data and adverts and a spike in overhead costs of 22 percent. Meta’s workforce could see a 13 percent slash in its headcount, following initial cuts of 11,000 workers in November last year.
Apple Glasses Apple’s venture into AR glasses is a culmination of its commitment to innovation. With a design philosophy that emphasizes user-centricity, Apple Glasses are expected to redefine AR experiences, offering a blend of luxury, technology, and seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem.
We’re used to navigating our computing with keyboards, mice, and maybe track pads — analog input. That’s why we need gesturecontrols ASAP, according to today’s guest, Clay AIR’s Varag Gharibjanian. Varag: So Clay is a software company, we're specializing in handtracking and gesture recognition, mostly in the AR and VR space.

Apple claims the M4 has a 50% more powerful CPU an d 4 times more powerful GPU than the M2 chipset mounted on the Vision Pro, so an M5 chipset may give the new Vision Pro unprecedented performances for a standalone MR headset.
