This week, we look at Apple’s moves across the spatial spectrum, MagicLeap 2, And Oculus Quest game sales among other items. Cathy Hackl , a former MagicLeap, HTC and AWS executive, and author of the new book The Augmented Workforce (with John Buzzell) is joining the company as Global Strategic Advisor.

I know that many of you won’t be excited by this news, but remember the Vive Tracker is one of the most successful accessories ever created by HTC. Come and visit it!
If you really want to understand the putative metaverse, listen to this conversation with Viacom/CBS futurist Ted Schilowitz and MagicLeap founder Rony Abovitz. HTC, a strategic partner and shareholder of VR Education, has also started selling its ENGAGE-based product, VIVE Sessions, in China. See his books here.
HTC Vive XR Elite HTC Vive XR Elite (Image by HTC Vive) The star of the event has for sure been the Vive XR Elite, HTC’s latest flagship headset. One is the high cost: HTC markets it as a consumer device, but at that price, not many consumers are going to buy it, so it will be a prosumer one.
In addition to being a contributor to Forbes and an active speaker and event moderator, she has worked at leading XR companies MagicLeap and VIVE and has written two books on XR and emerging technologies. He has also written and edited a number of books on big tech and emerging technologies and was a tech writer for Variety.
HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). Rony Abovitz steps down from MagicLeap CEO. This was a very good thing and attracted many people to MagicLeap. I hope that MagicLeap will benefit from it and will recover pretty soon.
Until recently, Brian Kane has been highlighting more experiential demos - like one that puts a porthole to the ocean in your living room - to highlight the power of the MagicLeap, and of spatial computing in general. MagicLeap is one of these MagicLeap devices, you put it on, and your whole world is spatial computing.
For instance, there are lots of new headsets being released by hardware companies: just in the last year, there have been the Oculus Quest & Rift S , HTC Vive Focus Plus , HP Reverb , Valve Index , Acer OJO 500, and HoloLens 2 … just to mention the most popular ones. Is it necessary to own all of them? Prioritize your expenses.
As part of our Kickstarter campaign in 2013, one of the price tier perks was 50 Ready Player One books signed by Cline. And then we did a small event in Austin with Cline signing the books. “Funnily enough, [he] lives in Austin,” says Goetgeluk. “As We had a wooden prototype at the time.”
Hollywood is adapting both of these Random House books into big screen adventures. Cline has seen his fictional universes blend with reality after the consumer launches of Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive (with Sony’s PlayStation VR slotted for an October debut). You’ve been gung-ho about VR with your books. It’s amazing.
He’s authored two books: Opening the XBox, and The XBox 360 Uncloaked. I mean, it sort of makes more sense to me that, as long as the prices for the headsets are lingering up pretty high — like the Cosmos from HTC, the brand new one, it’ll be an $800 purchase. Alan: HTC’s got their enterprise division.

Is there a high book of value coming out of that?” HTC did something with Batman; that Game of Thrones thing; some of the demos that MagicLeap had really. We did stuff with HTC Vive at GTC — our first foveated rendering in the world with them. Does it contribute to the selling experience of the client?

Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtual reality company MagicLeap. In June 2019, MagicLeap accused Xu of stealing AR glasses technology when he was an engineer working at the firm. And the author of two books: "Think in 3D", for Directors and 3D Filmakers. However, in June 2020, a U.S.
It’s where we look to book a lot of EDM and hip hop acts, and I think there is kind of a younger demo there. Have you tried MagicLeap? Sam: I have tried the MagicLeap, yeah. You’ve got MagicLeap, you’ve got Nreal, you’ve got HoloLens, you’ve got all these companies.

She’s the former head of content acquisition and partnerships for VIVE Port at HTC VIVE, and she used to be the V.P. And that machine at Dave & Busters in Denver, Colorado, was back-to-back booked, and families were playing. When I was at HTC, yes, my job was a quote/unquote, “sit behind a desk” kind of thing.

“Here’s the airplanes of the future, and here’s what we’re gonna do, and here’s the first class cabin,” you book your ticket. We’re not tied to MagicLeap. HTC VIVE sold a couple million. We’re not tied to Microsoft. We’re not tied to Intel. PlayStation is gonna be 4.5-million

They give these security guys a book of pictures and say, “Remember these folks.” I’m saying, “OK, 2025 we’ll have some AR glasses that are MagicLeap, Hololens, with all the bells and whistles. In 2014, I tried VR for the first time, and I ended up with an HTC– the Pre, the first one.

Neal Stephenson Stephenson’s 1992 book, Snow Crash , introduced the world to the word “metaverse” – though Stephenson said that he wasn’t the first one to imagine the concept. The year before that, he opened the conference with a joke game show called “ Metaverse, Shmetaverse.”
In the early 90s, it no doubt felt “a bit like looking up the Wright Brothers and taking their original prototype out for a spin,” as the book describes. The year the book was published, Sega announced a VR peripheral for the Genesis. The demo described in the book finds the user riding a motorcycle down a Brooklyn street.
This year was awesome for VR gaming, but 2019 is looking even brighter with a slew of highly polished titles coming to PSVR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. We don’t know much about gameplay mechanics yet, but it’s possible the MagicLeap One release of Angry Birds: FPS – First Person Slingshot may hold some answers.
Here to delve deeper into the ins-and-outs of marketing in XR is futurist Cathy Hackl, co-author of the brand-new book, Marketing New Realities. So, I think you have an incredible insight as to this, and your book, Marketing New Realities. They could bring the book to a meeting, they could leave the book with a potential client.

You can go into Google, like "HTC Vive blog Steve Bambury" or something, you'll probably find them. But I've been writing a series of blogs about my journey using and integrating the HTC Vive headsets at GESS. And I-- essentially I was considering writing a book. Ironically, the book was going be called Digital Inception.

This got some press, because HTC VIVE released a press release with Bell, saying that their latest helicopter was created 10 times faster using VR, and you guys were the company doing that. We've been approached by some of the bigger headset manufacturers -- Microsoft, Hololens and MagicLeap -- to build exclusively for them.

He’s currently working on a book answering the question he closes with every interview he does, “What is the ultimate potential of VR?” I’ve had the opportunity of playing with the Tobii tracking system with HTC Vive. Both the Hololens 2 and the MagicLeap are shipping with eye tracking.
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. They’re much more distributable than the standard Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, which has to be hooked up to a PC. Carter: Yeah, it’s interesting. Alan: Yeah.
