I thought it would have taken me a lot before I would be able to try the MagicLeap One , but luckily this has not been the case. At a certain point, I asked him: “oh, you said me that you have tried MagicLeap… how is it?” The three component of the MagicLeap One. I was amazed.
Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap is on sale. A report on Bloomberg informed us all that MagicLeap is exploring a sale of the company. The sales never skyrocketed and now MagicLeap is in desperate need of cash , after many layoffs, disappointing sales, and having put its IP as collaterals to a bank.
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. Perhaps a developer will release a more sophisticated, multi-user version, which would definitely get me to buy it again.
Original image by Oculus). Oculus kills the Go and opens to content on Quest. In the end, the time of the Oculus Go has come. Devices like Oculus Quest , Pico Neo 2 , and Vive Focus Plus have proven that 6DOF VR is more interesting and has far more retention. Top news of the week.
But it is very interesting , because it will touch a lot of hot topics, like: Data visualization in XR; MagicLeap; Being a woman working in XR; How is XR in Asia. Today the interview will cover the first two topics: dataviz in VR thanks to BadVR solution and MagicLeap. and many other interesting stuff!
He has joined Rony Abovitz at MagicLeap and now he’s there, trying to build the MagicVerse as the SVP of Creative Strategy of the Florida company. It’s definitely a choice. And what you are doing at MagicLeap to create these experiences for people? ( MagicLeap glasses.

Co-host Rick Santelli threw Cramer a life preserver by reading Zuck’s now-famous definition (“a fully embodied internet you look out at from the inside”), but Cramer was on a roll, declaring Zuck “didn’t explain enough.” Billion in its latest round of financing, is available on PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X/S, iOS, and Oculus Quest.
Meta (Oculus). With the Oculus ecosystem, schools and professional training companies alike are beginning to scale their virtual curriculums for a wide range of use cases. VIVE’s technology combines incredible high-definition visuals and audio with ease of use and a flexible ecosystem for software programs. MagicLeap.
While Luxottica has been criticized for monopolistic practices, it’s clear the brand understands both luxury marketing and design, something Facebook’s first-generation AR (or smartglasses) will definitely need as it makes a critical bid to appeal to consumers.
Oculus Link official cable now available worldwide (but Quest is still soldout). Good news for all the Quest fans: the official Oculus Link cable is now available worldwide in 22 countries.

Facebook, owners of VR tech giant Oculus, launched the Facebook Game Developers Showcase as their alternative offering.

Though Oculus Quest still doesn’t launch until the 21st, Oculus has seen fit to give us full access to one of its biggest launch titles: Star Wars Vader Immortal – Episode 1. Art direction is cohesive throughout, and there’s even a cool technical cameo in the form of a Quill drawing (Oculus’ VR painting tool).
I think that Gartner was not referring to the consumer market, where VR is still unripe (even if devices like the Oculus Quest and the Vive Focus Plus are helping it in becoming more widespread), but at the B2B one, where VR is already helping companies to spare money (e.g. thanks to a better training). Considering that companies like 6d.ai
Vality wants to rewrite the definition of ‘comfort’ when it comes to VR headsets by drastically reducing size and weight while delivering ultra-high resolution. Vality prototype compare to the original Oculus Rift | Image courtesy Vality.
At GDC, HTC has announced that this great device will come for sure to the rest of the world and that this will happen “later this year” I know, this is not a very definite time, but it is better than nothing: before the GDC we weren’t even sure if it would ever come here. Oculus Go showcased.
Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment. Then why MagicLeap hasn’t delivered a solid product with 2B?) Oculus Quest is putting pressure to the Chinese VR ecosystem. Will it be this year? Will it be next year?
Helena playing around with MagicLeap One. Standalone headsets, like the Oculus Go , have decent speakers built in, but oftentimes for demo purposes at crowded events, the noise floor isn’t taken into account. Being on the crossroads between three male-dominated industries (tech, entertainment, and audio) definitely isn’t easy.
This is a cool video of me unboxing the Nreal Light Devkit: I have to say that I loved unboxing this headset : while Nreal has not reached the mastery of packaging that Oculus has, it has done a great job: the external box is in a very elegant silver color, and the case of the glasses is small and beautiful.
MagicLeap finally dropped to mixed reviews and BrainXchange published its Definitive Guide to Adopting Wearables, AR and VR in Enterprise.

However, following the release of consumer equipment like the HTC Vive , Oculus Rift , Sony PSVR and the various mobile VR headsets , we now have a different situation with a much larger group of people (the general population) using virtual reality on a regular basis, for longer periods of time.
OK, I will be able give a more definite verdict after I actually get a hands-on demo first thing tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are our first impressions from having seen the live demos on the stage here at MWC Barcelona. In other words, down with the “walled garden” approach favored by companies such as Apple and Oculus.
My current super-elegant Oculus avatar. Oculus avatars are consistent over all Oculus experiences (unless they are overridden by the developer). 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).
Also, the controllers were the ones of Vive 1 and being used to my Oculus Touch , I felt back to the nineties. Oculus Rift CV1 vs HTC Vive Pro. Coming from the Oculus Rift CV1, the Vive Pro felt absolutely ???? Unluckily there were only SteamVR 1.0 HTC Vive 1.0 vs HTC Vive Pro. Targeted features for the professionals.
Apart from the play area definition, I think that the fact that PSVR 2 supports passthrough vision and environment reconstruction (to suggest the optimal area, the headset reconstructs a rough mesh of the surroundings ) means that in the future this headset may also become a hybrid mixed reality one, thing that I found incredibly intriguing.
He will stay two more months to guarantee the transition and then will definitely leave. I’m honestly not that convinced by this feature , having seen similar features for PCVR headsets (Oculus Rift Home, SteamVR Home) never gaining ground, but maybe with Quest will be different.
In yesterday’s part , she detailed what BadVR does and why she’s so interested in the MagicLeap One device. I feel I definitely had some problems in other tech areas, but not AR/VR.

Right now we’re stuck thinking in terms of head-mounted displays (HMDs), like the Vive or the Oculus. Future solutions will get rid of clunky wired headsets and move onto glasses that can project a high-definition image onto the eye, a la MagicLeap, and eventually contact lenses that contain tiny screens.
Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard and Oculus Rift are popular solutions that enable this form of immersive experience (in conjunction with a number of controllers and sensors). It fits with my definition of embedding virtual objects or 360 content into the real world, utilising sensors to detect and respond to user activity.
Virtual Reality (VR), by contrast, can be published across a wide range of devices (headsets like Oculus Go/Quest and Gear VR, phones, Google Cardboard, WebVR, and much more), is completely immersive, and doesn’t necessarily require a real-time data connection (ie can be run offline). VR is basically totally immersive, if done properly.

Oculus Quest – Love it. Oculus Link – not found a wire to test it yet but it sounds like a dream come true. Oculus Link – not found a wire to test it yet but it sounds like a dream come true. MagicLeap – Tried it. definitely gave me a newfound respect for the people doing it full-time. Bought two.

And with the use of doing it through VR — not necessarily perfecting the process, or catching everything only from that — but they definitely reduce their costs by… I think they got down to maybe one or two revisions that were necessary, instead of the average of four or five.
