I just hope for peace to come to Europe again soon : I have friends on both sides of the conflict, and no one of them wants this war, but all of them have to stand the consequences. Unluckily my referral gives you a chance of winning only if you are in the EMEA area (Europe, Middle-East, Africa). That’s it, easy peasy.

Magic Leap 2 bridges AR and VR. The interest in Magic Leap 2 is growing. If headsets like Lynx or Project Cambria implement AR on a VR headset, Magic Leap 2 implements a bit of VR on an AR headset. HTC adds more parental control tools to its headsets. News worth a mention.

Magic Leap raises other $350M. I honestly don’t even know how to report this piece of news: Magic Leap has raised other money, to be exact $350M, and it seems that a healthcare company is involved. My friends at 7Invensun and HTC have organized a contest to develop VR applications featuring eye tracking.

Part of all of this is merit of Jeri (Image by HTC). At Tilt Five, we designed a really clever system that only works on tabletop experiences but it has features that are just leaps and bounds above what the big Magic Leap or HoloLens type AR systems are. That’s where I got started with augmented reality.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.

As I’m thinking back to it now, this was actually on HTC VIVE — first gen, which was only maybe 3, 4 years ago now — and I was so impressed with the first generation of hardware that I was like, “well, this is ready for prime time.” The largest VR event in France; maybe in Europe, even.
