Project Alloy stands alone among the current lineup of technologies available because it isn’t tethered to a desktop computer like HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, nor does it use a smartphone like Google Cardboard, Gear VR or Google Daydream. The headset has an inside out tracking system enabled by Intel’s amazing RealSense technology.

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.

The World Map in this world therefore isn’t a 2D street map like we have with Google Maps or Open Street Map, nor is it a 3D map with terrain and building volumes. Both Azure Spatial Anchors and Google Cloud Anchors are leveraging existing strengths in mapping towards the AR Cloud. Insane, yet companies are mapping it already.

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!
