Two days ago, I’ve given you my predictions for virtual reality in 2021 (read it, in case you missed it). Now it’s time to make some forecasts about its companion technology, that is augmentedreality! This commercial video about Google Glasses led me to immersive realities. MagicLeap will meet its fate.
After having written my predictions for virtual reality in 2020 , let’s see what will be the trends for this year in augmentedreality. Let me be very honest: I’m not expecting that much from this year in augmentedreality. My duck-face while wearing MagicLeap One glasses.
Augmentedreality has already proven to be a versatile and useful technology that improves the workplace and business processes. As proven by various companies, augmentedreality is an excellent medium for displaying instructions, offering expert support, and reinforcing safety rules. And for good reason.
With 5G networks promising reduced latency, higher system capacity, and massive device connectivity, Qualcomm is pursuing the development of a smart phone-powered 5G “XR viewers” – a unique headset device capable of delivering both VR and AR experiences. Qualcomm wants to use the power of 5G to deliver VR and AR to your XR glasses.
You probably have heard about Leap Motion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmentedreality. Notice a Leap Motion sensor installed on top of it. Project North Star is an opensource augmentedreality headset that Leap Motion has designed and gifted to the community.
Audi Motors recently debuted its Activesphere concept car, which features MagicLeap’s augmentedreality (AR) driving user interface (UI) technologies. With MagicLeap 2, Audi Dimensions delivered a novel UI creation to empower drivers while on the road.
AR tech firm MagicLeap is set to launch in 19 countries across the world, Lisa Watts, Vice President of Product Marketing and Developer Programs for MagicLeap announced at the Immerse Global Summit (IGS) 2022 Europe on Madeira Island, Portugal. MagicLeap 2 stands on the shoulders of giants and the force.
Although transparent AR headsets—like HoloLens and MagicLeap—give a much clearer (and color) view of the real-world, passthrough AR headsets like Varjo XR-3 (and now Quest 2), tend to offer a much more immersive field-of-view and more convincing virtual imagery thanks to complete opacity control and the potential for perfect latency between real (..)
Charlie is also a book author and after the success of his previous book Metaverse , now he’s launching his new book, “Convergence” , that is all about the present and the future of augmentedreality. I’ve not been able to read the book yet (I’m preparing for the VEC !), I’m still a stage-struck kid.
New mixed reality (MR) headsets such as the Meta Quest Pro, MagicLeap 2, Lenovo VRX, and Pico 4 Enterprise have dramatically stepped up the XR industry. Headsets will also improve over time to avoid disorientation and latency issues creating uncomfortable immersive experiences for users.
Since this connection is a “high-throughput and low-latency dedicated point-to-point Wi-Fi link”, and the communication between the headset and the PC happens via Meta’s proprietary VR algorithms for low latency wireless connectivity, the whole system should offer to you unprecedented quality in your wireless PCVR experience.
Many newcomers to the extended reality (XR) landscape are asking the question, “What is AugmentedReality?” Truthfully, it’s the most widely-used form of XR, with virtual and mixed reality coming in second and third, respectively. What is AugmentedReality, Really? How Does AR Work?
On the client side, the system will become compatible with iOS devices, and a MagicLeap client has also been developed. This means that cloud rendering could become a reality for always more headsets, and using always more cloud services. CloudXR SDK, NVIDIA’s service to offer cloud rendering, will update to v2.1.
MagicLeap has integrated its second-generation device, the MagicLeap 2, into the futuristic Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven Concept Car (C111). As reported in recent months, the new electric vehicle (EV) combines augmentedreality (AR) digital overlays from the MagicLeap 2 for an unrivalled driving experience.
I have also to say that there is still a long road to go before going there: the magazines that have tried the solution of HTC found it very interesting, but at the same time highlighted how the latency was still high and sometimes if you moved too fast, you lose the tracking. The look it provides is also cool. Read the review here.
AR remote collaboration with IoT devices as well as low-latency calling in less-than-ideal locations and conditions are only likely to improve as the company is one of the most active groups in exploring 5G. See Also: Which Startups Are Hiring for AugmentedReality Jobs? Currently in version 2.2,
According to popular YouTubers Cas&Chary, though, this cable doesn’t offer at the moment any noticeable improvement in the quality of the streaming , since the bandwidth of the Link solution is already limited via software to keep latency low. It also puts in the right context the $3B investment got by MagicLeap.
He adds that one of the main causes of motion sickness in VR experiences is poor latency. When a delay in latency occurs, your real and virtual movements no longer match, knocking the equilibrium out of balance and causing ‘cybersickness.’
Stepping back, there are several AR glasses designs including standalone (HoloLens 2) and tethered (MagicLeap 2). For example, the AR2 achieves sub-2 millisecond latency and low power consumption for advanced functions like reprojection. We need a dedicated solution for AugmentedReality.” said Swart. “We
CES 2017, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas last week, was loaded with augmentedreality smartglasses, which layer digital animations and information on top of the real world. Mainstream venture capitalists pumped up startups in virtual and augmentedreality in the third quarter, with a record $2.3 Ellsworth: Right.
Continuing, the exec said, “We have multiple customers in this space and we are inside all those VR devices because, when you talk with people on the other side of the world, it is not able to synchronise the media with low latency, which is equally important. That is the reason why we are [developing for VR].
Firefox Reality is a brand for bringing the web to any VR or AR headset. We also have an older build for MagicLeap, but currently there are technical limitations preventing third party browsers on that platform. Today, we’re focused on android-based all-in-ones, Windows PC-based, and the Hololens 2. Mozilla Hubs.
Augmentedreality (AR) solutions have grown in popularity over the last few years, utilising mostly consumer-facing smartphone platforms. These have appeared across Google’s ARCore, Niantic’s Lightship AR developer kit (ARDK), Snap Lens, Meta’s Reality system, and Apple’s ARKit platforms, namely for smartphones.
Apple has been working on its plans to create an augmentedreality (AR) windshield, according to new documents. Digital overlays need to be seamless, in real-time, and with low latency to avoid accidents. In recent filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Apple has begun working on designs for the AR interface.
Some use cases that are presented, like realtime streaming of VR games, are still far away : streaming of desktop games has not proven yet to be a successful business, so streaming of VR games, that is even more difficult because of the low latency requirement, is something not so close in the future. All the others are getting breadcrumbs.
The worlds of virtual and augmentedreality have yet to land on the applications and hardware to truly spark mass-market, consumer interest in the space, but in the meantime, a startup building mixed reality services for business users has raised a round of funding, underscoring the opportunity in enterprise.
Nreal, Meta, MagicLeap, and RealWear produce AR devices that suit consumer, enterprise, or industrial environments. MagicLeapMagicLeap’s most recent AR smart glasses market offering is the MagicLeap 2 device. The device took a while to hit the market.
Of all the various facets of Extended Reality available today, Mixed Reality is often the one met with the most confusion. For years, people interested in the future of digital technology have seen “MR” as a kind of extension of augmentedreality. However, there’s more to true “mixed reality” than most people realise.
It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by MagicLeap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. MagicLeap are the highest-profile, with both a device and a platform, and more recent entrants include Ubiquity6, AIReal and Placenote.
Digital workflow streaming platform Alteon announced on Monday it had opened support for virtual and augmentedreality (VR/AR) creative projects. Revealed after the announcement of Apple’s Reality Pro headset, the new offering will allow users to store, collaborate, and preview a host of 3D formats.
The promise of AugmentedReality hardware has been immense, but so have been the number of misses. The Anatomy of Consumer Grade AugmentedReality For Jio Glass to be successful, when it launches, it has to not just be a good product but also build an ecosystem around it. Can Jio’s next hardware play be any different?
Layered structure of the MagicVerse, the metaverse envisioned by MagicLeap. Its structure reminds a lot what Kim is telling in this interview (Image by MagicLeap). Geolocation will definitely start playing a larger role since that will be the limiting factor for latency. Will it be in the cloud?
While virtual and augmentedreality headsets have grown relatively commonplace in today’s landscape, mixed reality is an area that’s only just beginning to flourish. In fact, immersive headsets are becoming a commonplace investment for brands in the health, manufacturing, and construction sectors.
Augmentedreality, while growing in buzz, has been around in some form or another for more than two decades. When accuracy and latency isn’t low enough, the augmented objects swing around with your head and your brain doesn’t consider them part of the world.
Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi has debuted its Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition, leading to the company’s first-ever wireless augmentedreality (AR) smart glasses. The device also weighs 126 grammes with a lightweight frame comprised of carbon fibre and magnesium-lithium alloys.
Some of the largest takeaways from the report found that the augmentedreality (AR) market had taken over 55 percent of global markets in 2021. However, virtual reality (VR) was set to grow from 2022 to 2030, with software making significant gains in the same period. It also estimates that the sector will reach around $345.9

I’m an early-stage VC focused on virtual and augmentedreality, so I pieced this together based on the forward-thinking pitches and demos I’ve been lucky enough to see through my work, plus a lifetime of burning through sci-fi and video games. But it’s still incredible enough to give a taste of where it’s headed.
But in my opinion, I don’t think the killer app of virtual reality is games. But let’s now switch to the topic of augmentedreality, which is really what this conversation is about. You have to look at the segment specific-elements of it that can be augmented. Not to say that games can’t be experienced.
