HTC and Valve do this with their Vive controllers that are super low latency and extremely accurate and Oculus does this with their touch controllers and their extremely natural ergonomics. The real improvements are increased performance, power savings and support for LeapMotion.
It is a perfect strategy, that makes NVIDIA able to offer very comprehensive end-to-end solutions (e.g. an ARM chips can be installed on IoT sensors that communicate to a server where an NVIDIA card is used to perform machine learning on the data). You can finally buy the LeapMotion v2 accessory. Become my 10th supporter!!
Object tracking : Hyperion allows the LeapMotion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. The second is that “mistaken model of the strategic motivations”, which seems to aim at the fact that Meta has a clear strategy that is not (only) about data mining this time.
It would be ideal to copy the strategies that Android already employs on the phones , where a popup asks you if you want to give some permissions to the app that you have just opened. What if you want to experiment with AI and MR and you don’t want to wait for Meta/Pico/HTC to provide access to the camera feed? in the toilet).
Because if Apple is just going to repeat the same use cases of the HTC Vive and Meta Quest 2, but selling it at $3000, it is just going to fail spectacularly. That’s why the headset should be available by the end of the year, and my bet is that Apple is trying to have it ready before the holidays. But the big question is the “how”.
We don’t know if it is just a reference design for external partners (like HTC) or it is an actual headset that Valve is producing. Someone hypothesizes that Valve may produce the headset by itself because: HTC has started its own store, Viveport , and so it is not pushing Steam as an official store anymore.
Two more Optitrack pucks on each hand or arm and the use of LeapMotion (which recently got big funding ) or gloves could provide the final bit of finger tracking for complete full-body immersion. HTC is developing its own tracking puck that’s already been distributed to developers that could perform many of these same functions.
More info (Apple AR headsets FOV) More info (Apple patent on retinal projection) More info (Robert Scoble’s thoughts on Apple’s strategy). HTC has a new CEO: Yves Maitre. HTC, one of the most important companies in the VR landscape, has now a new boss: Yves Maitre. The Oculus Connect 6 is coming!
But it was delicious, so the “yes yes” strategy is paying off. Markers can be used to define where to show virtual elements, and in the demo that I tried were used to show virtual Chinese artworks in a room; LeapMotion device on Realmax glasses. LeapMotion) on the same headset. If you come here, be prepared.
This seems crazy to me: HTC has always been blamed for its high prices (well, $1400 for the Vive Pro was a bit too much…) but the Vive Focus Plus , that is an enterprise device, costs $799… $200 less than the Business Quest! It is a very aggressive strategy and I’m curious to see if it will pay off or not.

There’s also a pair of fans to prevent fogging, and an optional integrated LeapMotion module built into the headset for hand interactions without the need for controllers. It permits various cleaning strategies for the passive part – the part that touches the head.
A Rift from Facebook-owned Oculus or a Vive from HTC can track your head throughout a room, but these “outside-in” systems require careful placement, or mounting, of sensors around the perimeter of the room for a full experience. . “The strategy has become clear.

I mean, it sort of makes more sense to me that, as long as the prices for the headsets are lingering up pretty high — like the Cosmos from HTC, the brand new one, it’ll be an $800 purchase. Dean: And I think more critical are these more foundational companies, like Facebook and Valve and HTC. Dean: Yeah, I think.

And we actually tried to tackle this problem with the help of major headset manufacturers – Oculus, HTC, LeapMotion, Intel — and they supported us to create VR/AR labs around the world. They just try to create their own businesses based on their maybe previous experiences, their previous business strategies.
