This week has mostly been in the sign of Oculus, with many news and updates from the brand controlled by Facebook. Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap 2 is coming in Q1 2022. Even if most of this roundup will be about Oculus, I have decided to put another brand on top of it and it is MagicLeap.
MagicLeap One owners, start your virtual engines, as automotive virtual reality developer RelayCars has published an app to MagicLeap World that lets users customize and test drive a 2019 Kia Stinger.
In the interview with me, he talked about many topics, like the rumors he heard on Apple Glasses, on the Oculus Quest 2 , the America vs China war, XR entrepreneurship, Tesla, and more! But of course, the technology is still not there: the Oculus Quest is still uncomfortable, we can’t read texts in it, and so on.
Automotive companies use VR environments to build new vehicles while embedding AR technology into their navigation systems. For instance: Meta: Meta’s Oculus devices not only work alongside a wide range of different hardware solutions, but they’re also designed to support countless different types of software too seamlessly.
One of the world’s largest producers of steel, they also manufacture systems and parts for the automotive industry as well as escalators and elevators. As it turns out, heavy Oculus Rift usage is linked to increased dream lucidity ; the more time people spent in virtual environments, the higher their ability to dream lucidly.
For instance, many automotive producers were teasing the use of AR windshields in the future. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised.
Fable Studios is building Lucy, an AI character that currently acts as a self aware drawn character in the “Wolves in the Walls” series but eventually will become her a personified OS much in the same way Mica from MagicLeap is aiming to be. The Evolution of Brand Activations. The Evolution of Consumer Data.
And we're also tackling a couple other industries, automotive. Alan: With Facebook now working on AR, and you've got MagicLeap, and Microsoft's Hololens. And, you know, MagicLeap-- people are going to expect when they walk around holograms, they stay put. And I know Oculus Quest just introduced hand tracking.

Bob: I know that’s one of the main reasons why the automotive industry is one of the very early, big adopters and investors in the hardware and software. And when you hit on automotive, I was like, “wow. Personally, I have some concerns about the cost of the Hololens and the MagicLeap devices at this time.

Virtual Reality headsets are for instance already used in many industrial sectors: I’ve heard that now all automotive companies use VR in some way in their production processes. Think about what happened to VR: we had the Oculus devkits, which interested only us developers. It is not a continuous line, but there are many jumps.
Started covering those areas when they were very tied to games, especially when the original Oculus Rift was launched. I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and MagicLeap. Or it’s going to take some more time?

There are plenty of products like the Oculus Go, which is just a few hundred dollars, that give you more of a robust kit than something like a Google Cardboard, where you can dip your toe in. I'll give an example in automotive and aerospace. But it's so important that it's done in a tasteful and high-quality way.

Good news for us developers: Meta has updated the Oculus SDK, and now it is possible to implement voice commands and spatial anchors in our Quest experiences. The new update also brings hand tracking support in the Oculus OpenXR plugin. MagicLeap rebrands and kills the whale. Meta updates the SDK for Quest. Learn more.
Companies like MagicLeap and Hololens, those are great devices where most of the compute is done on the headset… well MagicLeap is actually done on a pack that’s wired in. We also had Oculus participate, which was great. Working with automotive to help design vehicles and so forth.
