Google affirms that Cardboard has been a huge success to introduce people into VR, and more than 15 million headsets have been distributed.
As companies continue to discover new methods for producing lightweight, wearable devices, the number of immersive tools in this landscape is growing. Today, the market for smart glasses is growing at a CAGR of 10.3%, expected to reach a value of around $12.76 billion by 2030.

As companies continue to discover new methods for producing lightweight, wearable devices, the number of immersive tools in this landscape is growing. The Air headset, introduced at CES , offers 3 degrees of headtracking, and echo cancellation technology, while the Light glasses provide 6DoF head, hand, image, and plane tracking.
It won’t do much on its own, but it’s a fantastic bonus tool if you invest in a pair of Rokid smart glasses. From there, you’ll be greeted with a familiar Android interface, where you can access the Google Play store and download apps to use on your glasses.
Jaunt VR and Facebook Are Tracking Your Head Movements For Better 360-Degree Videos Well-funded 360-degree video startup Jaunt VR recently debuted a publishing platform to rival YouTube as it continues to dabble in all aspects of reality capture. Facebook, in fact, just announced similar tools. Read more here.
[link] Augmania is announcing the launch of its latest release, an out of the box DIY augmented reality authoring tool and its innovative web AR viewer. Arvizio is demonstrating its Mixed Reality Studio Suite, a mixed reality platform that extends HoloLens capabilities as a full-fledged collaboration and conferencing tool.
In the case of Gear VR and the cardboard boxes shipped by the likes of Nintendo , Google , and the New York Times , you could (and still can!) enjoy a simple head-tracked game like Proton Pulse inside a literal cardboard box – just as you can today on a $3500 Apple Vision Pro.
Introducing VIVE Sync Open Beta, a VR collaboration tool that allows businesses to hold virtual meetings/presentations in real-time from the comfort of home. The headtracking and the hand-held controllers both feel real. In other headsets, the headtracking or the controllers would sometimes drift. My wish list.
Your main tool throughout the game is a chunky PDA that is ever-present in your left hand, but you also use your left hand to target the slightly twitchy system for Vive teleport motion; it only works when targeting a flat surface which makes, for example, climbing a staircase a lot more annoying than it needs to be.
And I think you’re right, in the last few years, we’ve seen significant maturity of both the products, whether it’s smart glasses or tools that are available, not just on glasses, but also on mobile devices. So that was kind of a very slow process leading us to where we are today. Alan: [chuckles] I agree. Ori: To do a lot.
Michael: And this is why I’ve been working on starting this dojo, or this VR maker space; because the tools for building — there’s VRTK for Unity… there’s just all these tools. And the next generation of headsets that will come out in the next 24 months will all have eye tracking and headtracking.

All the big names in tech are working on their own devices, including Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Google. While this tool definitely works, I have to say that the interface is an absolute mess and the software is hugely overpriced for the functionality it offers. Even Microsoft decided to join the club. Closing thoughts.
Click To Tweet Since this project was designed to run on mobile VR headsets, we designed knowing that it might be experienced with only 3 degree-of-freedom (3DoF) headtracking. What kinds of 3D UIs would you like to see, touch, and create with these tools? Your interfaces should be curved as well!
For example, headtracking can come from optical trackers or inertial ones. Augmented reality tools detect objects in video feeds. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction. Hand tracking software converts hand position into gestures. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped.
It was 2015, right after Google Glass, quote/unquote failed. And so to see some of these become large rollouts, thousands of devices — in Wal-Mart’s case, hundreds of thousands of devices — or standard work tools like they are at DHL, that’s just standard. So I know AGCO is using Google Glass all over.

It was 2015, right after Google Glass, quote/unquote failed. So if you want to know more about this, it's brainxchange.com and just look for EWTS, or just Google "Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit". So I know AGCO is using Google Glass all over. Alan: What a powerful tool. But there's a lot going on. Boeing as well.
