AR and VR are gearing up for a giant leap forward thanks to advancements in eye-tracking technology. The industry has been experiencing a boom in recent years with hundreds of startups and heavy investment from tech giants including Google, Apple, Samsung, and Facebook. How EyeTracking Supports Immersion.
Weve been eagerly awaiting some genuine news about Samsungs impending XR headset for months now ever since the company announced its partnership with Google and Qualcomm. Plus, we now know that the system is going to be powered by Googles brand-new Android XR platform in fact, its the first MR headset designed with Android XR.
Unfortunately, the only Quest headset to offer eyetracking is the Quest Pro which is now discontinued , but theres a good chance Meta will add eyetracking capabilities to future products. Already, its experimenting with advanced tracking solutions, like EMG wrist bands introduced with the Meta Orion prototype.
Advrty wants to offer a new avenue of monetization for virtual reality developers which doesn’t involve full field-of-view pop-up ads with a platform aimed at designing and incorporating nonintrusive product placement. The core of its platform is based on the ability to accurately track user views and interactions.
You can enjoy the full audio recording below: Episode 28 of the VRScout Report, we got new 360 toys on iOS, Hololens is helping elevator technicians, VR might help you control your dreams, Apple CEO Tim Cook on augmented reality, VR/AR industry funding wrapup, and more… iOS NOW CAN TAKE 360 PHOTOS WITH GOOGLE CARDBOARD CAMERA, TOO.
Extended reality and Metaverse firms lack standardised metrics for measuring human behaviour in virtualenvironments based on current legacy data analytics, a new report on Monday has found. We need to have more of the data that shows people that XR is more effective than other approaches,” Barrowman added.
In her 2020 article, she quoted Ryan Gill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crucible , who explained how Direct-to-Avatar (D2A) business models sold goods and products directly to avatars to bypass supply chain management, namely in “social or competitive virtualenvironments like games or open worlds where consumers project themselves as an avatar.”
The degree of immersion in virtual reality vs augmented reality. In VR, the user is completely absorbed in a virtualenvironment and minimises boundaries and markers. The user must their adjust the lenses with eye-tracking technologies, depending on the unique movement of each eye.
For instance, headsets like the new Apple Vision Pro allow users to interact more effectively using eye-tracking sensors with a scalable content interface. Google: Google and its parent company, Alphabet, are highly invested in spatial computing. Google has even invested heavily in the XR spatial elements in the past.
Meta says that some of its questioned firms reported that workers feel a significant increase in levels of immersion while working in a virtualenvironment. The Menlo Park-based firm also found that end-users experienced more natural digital conversations during virtual meetings.
Tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT , Google’s Gemini , and Microsoft’s Co-pilot have become the go-to resources for "Ask me anything" queries. These innovations have been touted as potential Google Killer , disrupting the way we search for information, communicate with machines, and receive machine responses.
Co-founder Anand Agarawala sold his previous startup, BumpTop — a 3D physics multi-touch desktop — to Google, and also demoed this in a TED Talk. ” After he gave his TED Talk on it, there’s interest from Apple, and Google ended up buying his company. Alan: Yeah, Google Drive. Google Drive on a mobile.

Alan: One of the tools that I think we’re just starting to see come online is eyetracking and motion tracking, where we’re really able to get data points about humans that we’ve never had before. And we challenge them with virtualenvironments, for example, to see how they react.

It’s good news by the way that there is continuous IPD adjustment (and with a wider range than before) and that thanks to eyetracking sensors, the headset can tell you if you have positioned it well on your head. There is also an eye-relief dial, so you can put the lenses very close to your eyes, for added field of view.
There was presence, and immersion, and the ability to create your own virtualenvironments. At that time, virtual worlds were the only visible path to an interconnected metaverse of virtualenvironments. This is obviously the big one for virtual worlds. What about virtual reality environments?
When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eyetracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.
HTC teased the next Vive headset , Google is reportedly trying to steal Ray-Ban from Meta , PSVR 2 got a major discount in the UK, Apple Vision Pro received a new virtualenvironment and the PSVR 2 Steam app appeared. Meta AI is coming to Quest headsets, and we may have gotten our first clear look at Quest 3S.
I feel like some products, such as Google Cardboard, and some of the lower-end pieces of hardware, have actually done more harm than good to the reputation of virtual reality. It ruins not only the reputation of the company, but of the reputation of what virtual reality is doing today. Or for Coca-Cola?
