However, Almeida said that he had been waiting for something like an Apple headset for even longer than that – ever since he was, like so many others, disenchanted by the Google Glass device that launched in 2013. I also think that they’re opening a path for haptic gloves.”
Slim and light XR glasses capable of fluidly serving up novel and meaningful interactions are basically the holy grail in tech right now, with Apple, Meta, Google, Qualcomm, and many more laying down the groundwork to one day make them a reality. Some ideas are inevitable. When that will happen, no one can say.
Lyft drivers would access this information through an AR headset, such as a Microsoft HoloLens, Google Glass, or MagicLeap, which would place the digital content directly in the view of the Lyft driver, or through an AR enabled smartphone. Image Credit: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Google recently announced Android XR, a new operating system designed explicitly for XR (Extended Reality) devices and services, which the company describes as the next generation of computing. Notably, Google is developing the XR OS in collaboration with Samsung, which also revealed plans to release an XR headset in 2025.
Although Google Tango-style software that enables smartphones to sense their surrounding environment is required, you can choose from premade holograms and position the 3D model in your real world room (ICYMI here’s a primer on Google Tango ). The covert product still has not been publicly shown, and the well-funded MagicLeap ($1.3B
Especially the DualSense is an amazing piece of tech, with very stable IMUs and haptic sensations that increase a lot the “immersion” in the games : they can provide you the sensation of resistance, of textures of materials, of movements. Then why MagicLeap hasn’t delivered a solid product with 2B?)
For example, developers like Google’s Owlchemy Labs had to rejigger their critically-acclaimed VR games Job Simulator & Vacation Simulator to make hand-tracking a smooth experience. While this works well for low-stakes object interaction, it’s not for every XR game out there. Convergence does tend to happen eventually though.

We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits. The same is also true for input and output peripherals such as eye trackers and haptic devices. A goggle is better with an eye tracker, a hand controller and a haptic device. We will need to look for common characteristics of haptics devices.
Alan: Slicing fruit in VR is magical, and the fact that they have the haptic feedback to the controller is just… [implied Chef Kiss]. You’re right, it is a magical experience. I finally — finally, after a year and a half — I got to try out the MagicLeap in Laval, and it was a good experience.
