Google has announced the launch of Android XR, a platform designed to support the creation of mixed reality (MR) applications. And, we are continuing to collaborate with MagicLeap on XR technology and future products with AR and AI. The initiative builds on ARCore, Googles existing augmented reality framework.
The platform, which won last year’s Auggie Award for Best Enterprise Solution, is compatible with MR headsets like HoloLens and MagicLeap. There are two premium price tiers with additional affordances, but there is also a free model with an easy sign-in using a Microsoft, Google, or Apple account or with a private email.
Google is diving head-first back into the world of extended reality and this time, the company is going big.

At the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, David Em made strides in the creation of explorable virtual landscapes, while the Ames Research Center iterated on VIEW (Virtual Interactive Environment Workstation). Google revealed Glass the same year the first Oculus prototype hit the scene. They were slick, they were robust.
Everyone probably has a good idea of what Virtual Reality is all about. It’s the immersion of a user into a fully virtualenvironment, by means of a VR headset. The Google Glass (now discontinued) was one famous example of an Augmented Reality solution. This is one of the cons of the solution.
With the introduction of Google Cardboard and the Daydream VR platform, Oculus and HTC discrete VR headsets and GearVR headsets for even smartphones like the Samsung’s Galaxy S7, the first tentative steps towards virtual reality gaming are being taken. Everything we need to play virtual reality games is available right now.
Virtual Reality (VR), by contrast, can be published across a wide range of devices (headsets like Oculus Go/Quest and Gear VR, phones, Google Cardboard, WebVR, and much more), is completely immersive, and doesn’t necessarily require a real-time data connection (ie can be run offline).
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. And so we have our MagicLeap build coming out very soon.

So, as we begin to work with MagicLeap and Hololens and some of these others, and you’re able to do hands-free, and the headsets become able to be worn for longer periods, et cetera, et cetera, we expect that to increase over time. Then with Google Maps, it gives us a better option, where we can see the path.

In Taiwan, all western websites work and so you don’t need to set up a VPN just to use Google. This was the best feature for me: it was really like all of us were in this virtualenvironment, all together. The environment was multiplayer, but I was the only one having the right perception.
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. These things are not cheap to make.

I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and MagicLeap. The actions that you do — the experience of doing something virtually in a virtualenvironment — is going to be pretty accurate to the real world.

I’m trying to solve this issue appealing to Google, but more than ever consider donating money on Patreon to sustain this blog , that takes me a lot of time and various expenses, to keep it alive.

So, Kura is not only smoke and mirrors, there is really an amazing tech behind it, and that technology is called “structured geometric waveguide” (that is different from the diffractive waveguides used by other products like HoloLens or MagicLeap). Google updates ARCore with Persistent Cloud Anchors.
Nuclear energy is no joke, and to train to work in the field can be risky and costly… unless you’re training in a virtualenvironment. So you can go on and you can Google the building plans for the CANDU reactor, if you choose. Vice: I totally Googled it, just to make sure that it’s public knowledge.

Pepperidge Farm remembers when people wearing Google Glasses were called “Glassholes” and kicked out of shops (a nice prize for having spent $1500 on a new device) and Facebook wants to see if in 2020 there could be similar problems (“Ariassholes” sounds good). That will come in the second step of the project.
