Over the past three years MagicLeap have been one of the darlings of Augmented/Mixed reality. More recent videos from MagicLeap do clarify that you’re looking at the actual tech, but those videos show holograms that are – perhaps unsurprisingly – fuzzier and less impressive than the earlier one.
So predicting AR’s trajectory becomes an exercise in “ following the money.” For Apple, AR’s job is to sell more hardware. Facebook Hardware Lead Andrew Bosworth Explains Live Maps. Just like MagicLeap has the Magicverse , this is essentially Facebook’s flavor of the AR Cloud.
In mature markets like smartphones, hardware players disclose figures — especially if public — but it’s a lot quieter on the early-stage front. That’s the case with VR, which becomes an exercise in gathering hints in perpetual market-sizing mode. Sometimes there are gifts like Sony’s frequent disclosures while boasting PSVR sales.
But still, this is a pretty unique piece of hardware. SHARP is looking for tier-1 hardware manufacturers to sell them the components with which to build the devices. No hardware was demoed, meaning the project is still in the early stages. Two are the main news to consider from this event. It is going to be released this year.
One such exercise recently zeroed in on headworn AR revenues. Drilling down, our latest Behind the Numbers installment zeroes in hardware unit sales. These are key questions as hardware is the starting point for an ecosystem in any emerging tech. Meanwhile, the previously-beleaguered MagicLeap has quite a turnaround underway.
ARtillery Intelligence recently performed this exercise including compatible hardware bases and active users (see below). Furthermore, this mobile AR market-sizing exercise reveals another factor: platform fragmentation. MagicLeap is building a software ecosystem around its product.
AR Insider’s ongoing coverage of The AR Show episodes is an exercise in deconstructing and synthesizing the musings of spatial computing’s top minds. This “ follow the money ” exercise is a key AR confidence signal. Then there’s MagicLeap. So we need some hardware innovation here too.”
With Hardware (cellphones) having enough processing power to overlay decent digital content over the real world when seen through a cellphone camera, it’s now feasible to play AR ‘games’ and tournaments such as Hado World that give e-sports a whole new meaning, exercising the body and not just a player’s thumbs!
The first hardware generation attempting to solve the body feedback problem will likely use full bodysuits with haptic responses aligned to the VR experience. 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.
Even if they are not general-purpose glasses like Hololens or MagicLeap, these glasses feature inside so many technological innovations that made all we of the tech communities fall in love with them, and with their creator Jeri Ellsworth. News worth a mention. Two short news on content.
Smart glass manufacturers and solution providers like Vuzix, Google, Nreal, RealWear, Lenovo, MagicLeap, and others offer full-spectrum devices capable of agile use cases. Technologies later improved from the 60s, when AR devices required enormous hardware components. AR’s Humble Origins.
And by ’99, the hardware was there, so you can start running this on PCs. But we managed to navigate those water until I would say 2011, 2012, when the hardware became available for mobile devices. The showrooms value is diminished, because if you go back 5, 10 years, there were no major producer of hardware, for virtual reality.

For example, if I’m going through some sort of instruction or training exercise where my environment really matters, then we can understand why it might be important to jump into a VR headset and limit the distraction from the real environment around me, and replace it with an entirely virtual environment. That’s really exciting.

It's a really smart plan.
Are they building stuff for MagicLeap? We’ve been helping him kind of develop this as a training exercise to evaluate and measure that people are actually competent to perform this task. What are people leaning towards when they’re building stuff? Are they building stuff for Hololens? Alan: I got to say something.
Are they building stuff for MagicLeap? We’ve been helping him kind of develop this as a training exercise to evaluate and measure that people are actually competent to perform this task. Lou: Yeah, it’s totally transformed to just some of the kind of IT enablements and hardware enablements that have happened.

VR hardware has seen some significant developments recently. Zengence Mixes VR Breathing Exercises With An Action Shooter Developed by DeepWell DTx, Zengence: Take Aim with Every Breath describes itself as "part action shooter and part breathing management exercise." After the biggest VR stories? Additionally, realities.io
If the Hololens breaks or if a MagicLeap breaks or whatever the hardware happens to be, to go back to that cliché quote, Mark Andreesen said, “software is eating the world. If something fails in hardware, you should be able to take out your phone and have that same experience.” ” Timoni: Exactly.

Continuing speaking about HTC devices, the hardware manufacturer Finch has announced the FinchShift controllers: two 6 DOF controllers that can work with all the headsets that are compatible with HTC’s Vive Wave platform. It is an augmented reality glass that is being developed in China by a former MagicLeap engineer.
