What’s more, Meta’s flexibility makes it easy to combine Oculus headsets with state-of-the-art technology and software for building prototypes and designs. The technology also integrates perfectly with a range of other design tools and software solutions used in the AEC space. MagicLeap.
The best AR headsets available today—the likes of HoloLens 2 and MagicLeap 2—are still closer to goggles than glasses and are too heavy to be worn all day (not to mention the looks you’d get from the crowd). As the chart highlights, the most energy intensive computing operations are in data transfer. Image courtesy Meta.
But, software is important too. The bigger your XR needs are, the larger your software needs are. This allows devices to become smaller while running more robust software. This allows devices to become smaller while running more robust software. The RealWear Cloud also allows data analysis across headsets.
For sure, Facebook will repeat a bazillion times that they care about privacy and I think that in the beginning, this will be mostly true: we have seen with Oculus how Facebook takes its time and boils its users slowly like the famous frog, adding over time features to get more data for targeted ads.

Already, several top-level companies like LG, Apple , and Sony are joining the market of AR hardware producers, dominated so far by Microsoft and MagicLeap. Enterprise AR Software Will Be More Specialized and Customized. One of the Ongoing Enterprise AR Trends: Retail Transformation .
“He has one million cars collecting data of the world. They are collecting data of the world surrounding them and Tesla is building amazing maps out of that. Why can’t it be Facebook, or MagicLeap ? They control all their ecosystem : software, hardware, chips. PRNewsfoto/BadVR).
Seems like they’re zeroing in on Maps as the sweet spot for XR and tossing everything else, like their Daydream headset, their investment in MagicLeap, Poly, and finally Tilt Brush, overboard. The product is a 3D modeling software for PC VR and Oculus Quest headsets. HaptX Ready To Ship Enterprise Data Gloves.
The biggest gorillas in the room are the covert augmented reality company MagicLeap, which raised almost $800M in February (bringing its total funding to $1.4B), and the VR live-streaming company NextVR, which raised $80M in August (which brings its total funding to over $115M).
Conversely, enterprise solutions are designed at scale to accommodate an immense number of use cases and bespoke data sets. 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. Jobs for Metaverse Work.
At the same time, Meta’s flexible software landscape ensures teams can access a wide range of educational apps, or make and implement their own learning tools from scratch. VIVE’s technology combines incredible high-definition visuals and audio with ease of use and a flexible ecosystem for software programs. MagicLeap.
Called Vuzix Blade, the smartglasses are more of a heads-up display akin to Google Glass than a positionally-tracked AR headset like Microsoft Hololens or the upcoming MagicLeap One , although the Blade’s styling certainly comes closer to ‘normal’ than many we’ve seen before. image courtesy Vuzix.
