In his 1984 classic Neuromancer, characters entered a virtual reality world called “the matrix” (inspiration for the 1999 film of the same name by the Wachowskis). An Apple AR headset has been a mainstay of the rumor mills for several years, and we expect Facebook to be creating an AR Oculus device.

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.
