We’ve generally stated “tens of billions” for the collective investment scale of the big five — Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Snap and Qualcomm are all making significant investments. But our standards of precision are higher, and you deserve better.
But despite the option to “jack in” in the distant future, plenty of people will still opt to use the treadmill and haptics combo for the exercise benefits. Right now we’re stuck thinking in terms of head-mounteddisplays (HMDs), like the Vive or the Oculus. The visual input is the most important piece of the VR setup.
To underscore some of these changes, look at Apple’s patent disclosure of a head-mounteddisplay that includes eye sensors, heart-rate sensors, etc. Early versions are named Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Facebook Portal. “Hey Google, what is Spatial Computing? ” Google knows already.
But for us at Shell, that means that we utilize a head-mounteddisplay — in this case specifically, the Realwear — and it is used for our operators; for quick resolution, and to get remote expertise to be brought in. But where we really revolutionize that process is with a head-mounteddisplay.

And it was so expensive, and a head-mounteddisplay could cost $70,000. I’ve been studying this industry inside and out and I subscribe to Google Alerts for virtual and augmented reality. And it also wasn’t very comfortable to wear. Spending a lot of time in VR would sometimes cause simulator sickness.

These two western tech giants ship the same thing as the future of personal computing — a wide field of view head-mounteddisplay priced at two ends of the consumer spectrum. You can also begin to forget the branding exercises of corporations attempting to bend research and science fiction terminology to match corporate goals.
