VR headsets are gaining new technologies going into 2023, such as eye tracking, handtracking, and mixed reality (MR) passthrough technology. Alongside cutting-edge passthrough technology, the Quest Pro also contains innovations like a Snapdragon XR2+ processor, pancake optics, hand, face, and eye-tracking.
More info (Varjo launches XR-4 headset) More info (Varjo’s launch on Road To VR) More info (Varjo opens up waiting list for consumers) Other relevant news Quest 3 is selling well, but Quest 2 much better Quest 3 sales are not going bad, and the headset, after Black Friday , has now already 5% of the shares of devices on the SteamVR survey.
Increased Adoption of AR in E-Commerce According to a recent survey, 38% of marketers reported using AR in 2022. VR-Enabled Online Shopping Experiences VR creates an immersive visual environment, including 360-degree videos, photos, product demos, and complex experiences using devices such as the HTC Vive or Oculus Quest.
The XRA is an industry organization founded by Google , HTC VIVE , Microsoft , Oculus , and Sony Interactive Entertainment. For example, the last time we covered one of their reports it was an industry survey with Perkins Coie.
The biggest news of the week is the one that you can see in the above graph: i n the Steam Hardware Survey for April, it is possible to see a big spike of connected headsets. More info (Steam Hardware Survey) More info (Facebook’s revenues for Q1 2020) More info (Quest and Rift S stock, updated) More info (SuperData’s report).
The report involved major firms such as Unity Technologies, Jaguar Land Rover, Virti, Infinity Labs, Motive.io, HTC, Yahoo, and nDreams for a comprehensive look at the XR industry. Eye, gaze, and hand-tracking were also key to learning user behaviours and interactions with immersive content, the survey continued.
But when you talk about hand-tracking, there’s nowhere those sorts of games can come from,” Rubin said. ” SEE ALSO Survey: 78% of AR/VR Developers Not Planning Platform-exclusive Content. There are games that work ok like Project Cars for controller. That’s the only way these systems work.”
Image by HTC Vive). HTC rises the hype for the launch of its new headset. For once, HTC seems to have organized the pre-launch of its new upcoming headset fairly well. HTC has said this headset will be amazing , so everyone is hoping for this to be true, even if we all know that the price will be high.
The latest generation of XR technologies introduces radical new capabilities, from multi-user tracking in massive spaces, to 6DOF standalone headsets, to the ability to trackhands, eyes, and lips. As the China President at HTC, he leads all aspects of the company’s VR and smartphone business in the region.

The situation is a bit confused; Tracking not working in dim light. We wait and see what HTC will tell us. Good luck to him and to HTC!
The headset has a very nice design and features these specifications: Standalone 6DOF headset 1600×1600 resolution per eye 90Hz refresh rate 90° FOV RGB AR passthrough Innovative lenses that make the headset more compact Integrated audio Controller-free hand-tracking Eye-tracking 6GB of RAM 128GB of storage WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0,
But in the enterprise space, it has always been behind the competition of companies like HTC or Pico. Honestly speaking, this research by IDC has been sponsored by Facebook, so it is a bit like if I published a survey organized by me saying that I’m sexier than Hugh Jackman and Henry Cavill… it is not much reliable.
On the UX side, other interesting things are being rumored: the headset would ship with no controller, and rely only on eye tracking and handstracking for interactions. And to select objects, you have just to look at them and then pinch with your hand. This doesn’t sound to me very “Apple”.
The first one is the usual SteamVR hardware survey. Apart from highlighting that the Rift S is expanding its size and that the Valve Index is now selling well, the survey shows that VR users on Steam are continuously growing. Devs are doing very interesting things with handstracking for Quest.
The new update also brings handtracking support in the Oculus OpenXR plugin. Now it is so possible to have a passthrough AR experience with handstracking and the developers of the game In Da Hoop (now called Just Hoops) will be the first ones to exploit it. Take the survey before it closes on January 31st.
The picture also shows the girl using the device making a micromovement of the hands on her lap, a clear hint to the fact that this device can perform accurate handtracking like the Vision Pro. Qualcomm has officially said that this is the chipset that the upcoming Samsung headset is going to employ.
