Unlike the Lucasfilm AR headset, which uses a smartphone to power it (like the Google Daydream or the Samsung Gear VR does), the company says this concept is a standalone, self-powered headset. Yes… this is the same company that has made sure that its software could not be deleted and installed malicious adware on their computers in the past.

That is, using its software, you can create a 360 3D video where the user can move the head. Presenz offers you a plugin for the most popular 3D modeling software (like Maya, 3D Studio Max, etc…) that gives you a special camera that substitutes the standard camera you put into the scene. It is a very ambitious project, though.

Most probably there won’t be hardware releases (Oculus has just launched the Rift S and the Quest ) but just teases of new devices of the future and a lot of new software releases and showcases (like the one about the game that is being developed by Respawn). Its peculiarity? They work by being connected with iOS phones and tablets.

If you remember well, HTC was already experimenting with implementing 6 DOF tracking for controllers through a software solution that, tracking the user’s hands, was able to infer the position of the controller (or controllers). We don’t know if the software solution will continue its development on a parallel road, though.

This is also an answer to Lenovo Mirage Solo, that lets you directly install apps from Google Play. This resembles a lot a feature that Google was researching and that was shown by Road To VR… so it seems that sooner or later all 3 DOF controllers will become 6 DOF ones. Now sorry but I have to play a bit with my new Focus 2.0!
