A worker wearing HoloLens 2 (Image by Microsoft). Regarding big brands, I expect Apple and Facebook still to wait a bit before releasing something, while MagicLeap will have to make its move to come out from the quicksands. My duck-face while wearing MagicLeap One glasses. Standalone/All-in-two headsets.
Already, several top-level companies like LG, Apple , and Sony are joining the market of AR hardware producers, dominated so far by Microsoft and MagicLeap. Also, developers are constantly working on improving facial recognition, latency, and other factors to make product try-on more realistic.
Didn’t work (Image by Microsoft). Google can count on the acquisition of North, the experience he has matured by producing Google Glass and investing in MagicLeap, and the fact that it owns the most-used mobile operating system. MagicLeap will meet its fate. Duck Face, MagicLeap One, and me.
We are now at the level that we are super happy with the latency and deployments.”. For example, MagicLeap has had a partnership with Google Cloud for the past year now. In a recent funding announcement , Varjo announced the most recent development in their cloud services. Parents and Partners. Your Forecast: Cloudy.
Last Monday, I walked three blocks uphill on Mason St in San Francisco to the Fairmont Hotel to demo a stealth product that had been touted to me as one of the biggest advancements in XR tech this side of MagicLeap. Comparison shot of Varjo Bionic display and Oculus Rift display.
Frontal view of the device (Image by Microsoft). The biggest news of the MWC for what concerns XR has been for sure the announcement of the HoloLens 2 by Microsoft. Image by Microsoft). Together with the HoloLens 2, Microsoft has also announced a new version of the Kinect, called Kinect Azure. HoloLens 2. Azure Kinect.
He adds that one of the main causes of motion sickness in VR experiences is poor latency. When a delay in latency occurs, your real and virtual movements no longer match, knocking the equilibrium out of balance and causing ‘cybersickness.’ These collaborations are also a result of the need to create an open and interoperable metaverse.
AR remote collaboration with IoT devices as well as low-latency calling in less-than-ideal locations and conditions are only likely to improve as the company is one of the most active groups in exploring 5G. TechSee and Vuzix (and Microsoft). Incidentally, Vuzix also supports Teams, Microsoft’s remote conferencing platform.
It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by MagicLeap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. Some recent acquisitions include AltspaceVR (Microsoft), and Escher (Niantic). Find out more details, dynamics and submission guidelines here. .
Stepping back, there are several AR glasses designs including standalone (HoloLens 2) and tethered (MagicLeap 2). For example, the AR2 achieves sub-2 millisecond latency and low power consumption for advanced functions like reprojection. This not only spreads things out but lets each piece of hardware play to its strengths.
Finally, Meta improved graphic performance by debuting a new frame timing algorithm that reduces latency and stuttering in specific Quest applications. The OpenXR API is crucial for many XR headsets from vendors such as Acer, ByteDance, Canon, HTC, MagicLeap, Meta, Microsoft, Sony, XREAL, Qualcomm, Valve, and Varjo.
Nreal, Meta, MagicLeap, and RealWear produce AR devices that suit consumer, enterprise, or industrial environments. Moreover, last year, Nreal partnered with University researchers and Microsoft to leverage its smart glasses technology as a medical device. The device took a while to hit the market.
On the client side, the system will become compatible with iOS devices, and a MagicLeap client has also been developed. On the server-side, it is being integrated with Microsoft Azure, and it is also coming in the future for Google Cloud and Tencent Cloud.
” He also pointed out the development over at Amazon, where last month the company announced AWS Wavelength for ultra-low latency 5G computing at the edge, something that will have a direct impact on using and building the next generation of AR and VR headgear. “The industry is firing up 5G and that will also be a big push.”

Firms such as MagicLeap, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Varjo, Matterport, and Siemens have debuted solutions for remote collaboration and built virtual control centres for smart factories. These spaces are capable of recreating whole facilities, cities, and environments for real-time monitoring, measuring, and collaboration.
MicrosoftMicrosoft has been increasing its focus on the extended reality landscape in recent years by producing solutions such as Microsoft Mesh and a metaverse environment for Microsoft Teams. The company’s flagship mixed reality headset offering is the HoloLens series.
The event sees leading XR firms such as Meta, Google, and MagicLeap actively participating in many of the event’s esteemed keynotes and exhibition spaces. Yesterday, Google and Mojo Vision representatives introduced the event, kicking off the monumental event with an opening keynote. VR|MR 2024 There are many vendors at SPIE.AR|VR|MR
For example, Lenovo’s A3 and MagicLeap 2’s smart glasses are designed for prolonged use, low latency, and industrial environments. MagicLeap also pivoted to healthcare , with the Florida-based firm designing its AR headsets for surgeons and medical professionals.
But immersive head-mounted AR for consumers has had one major hurdle that Microsoft may have just solved. When accuracy and latency isn’t low enough, the augmented objects swing around with your head and your brain doesn’t consider them part of the world. HoloLens’ sensor cluster has a whopping 11 elements.
Layered structure of the MagicVerse, the metaverse envisioned by MagicLeap. Its structure reminds a lot what Kim is telling in this interview (Image by MagicLeap). Geolocation will definitely start playing a larger role since that will be the limiting factor for latency. Will it be in the cloud?
Though mixed reality is evolving at a slightly slower rate than augmented and virtual reality, market leaders like Microsoft are beginning to introduce the world to what the future of MR could really look like. Microsoft is perhaps one of the companies most effective at defining MR today. million – a CAGR of 41.8%. MR Definition.
With Qualcomm’s industry-leading Snapdragon Spaces platform , Xiaomi can also develop programmes on OpenXR and Microsoft’s MRTK toolkit. It also hosts a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 processor for offloading processing power, streamlining app functionality for low-latency connectivity between the two devices.
Future solutions will get rid of clunky wired headsets and move onto glasses that can project a high-definition image onto the eye, a la MagicLeap, and eventually contact lenses that contain tiny screens. Those interactions can be mapped to brainwaves and translated into action with almost no latency.
This has 3 main components to it, dictated by hardware: Wait, how is this different from things like Microsoft’s Hololens? Devices such as the MagicLeap and the Hololens rely on Waveguide optics. The XR visual processing pipeline is both compute intensive and latency sensitive.
He said, “If they can perfect their new R1 chip running, reach zero-latency, and controllerless interfacing working in real-time, this changes the game. For him, concepts such as spatial computing, consumer usage, and Vision Pro features would face tests in the real world. “Now we need to see the stuff working,” he said.
There’s MagicLeap– Alan: Still a challenge. It’s a matter of months now, that Microsoft is shipping a new HoloLens; some other companies are shipping glasses. Microsoft tries to be the leader of market, but they’re not shipping. MagicLeap for sure. The Hololens line. Alan: Yeah.

Microsoft’s enterprise-focused HoloLens 3 may be dead in the water, as a recent report maintains that internal divisions have hobbled the company’s efforts to release its next AR headset as planned. Alex Kipman wearing HoloLens 2, Image courtesy Microsoft. Microsoft Responds.
Reducing Latency is Becoming Complex Trends Presence in VR requires low latency, and reducing latency is not easy. Low latency is also not the result of one single technique. Predictive tracking lowers perceived latency by estimating future orientation. MagicLeap is not commercial yet.
GB: MagicLeap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Outside of the sort of people in this room and in the games press, I don’t think most people know what MagicLeap is. When you talk about investment, certainly MagicLeap has garnered the most, but ODG just closed a big round. Image Credit: Microsoft.
This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and MagicLeap. This will lead to more money invested in research and development (R&D) to make a lighter-weight glass for the AR experience. When you look at past technology that didn’t quite take off, it was because there wasn’t enough competition.
But I would wait to rejoice from it: VR requires a very short motion-to-photon latency, and as of today no cloud rendering service can offer such low latency in every possible location of the user. Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap has sold units of its first device for $550. News worth a mention.
These are like the Microsoft Hololens, MagicLeaps. So Metastage uses Microsoft’s volumetric Hcap, holographic capture. So you have a freeway system, much bigger freeway system with very little latency. Michael: Yeah. Intel has it. And then there’s other companies that also have volumetric studios.
At Tilt Five, we designed a really clever system that only works on tabletop experiences but it has features that are just leaps and bounds above what the big MagicLeap or HoloLens type AR systems are. It’s like yep yep, it’s got six milliseconds latency.
Traditionally, leading tech vendors have invested in distributed network infrastructure, but many of them (such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft) are adapting to a new paradigm to support localized, persistent, collaborative, shared, multiuser interactions. The AR cloud is much more rich and complex than a simple database.
I mean, I have a HoloLens and a MagicLeap, and I got to try the HoloLens2, but they wouldn’t let me turn it on. So we’ve definitely caught their attention, and I’m pretty excited about potentially what can come from that. Alan: That’s incredible. I can’t wait.
These are like the Microsoft Hololens, MagicLeaps. So Metastage uses Microsoft's volumetric Hcap, holographic capture. So you have a freeway system, much bigger freeway system with very little latency. Several other companies are probably renounced, they're--. Alan: Nreal, Vuzix, there's a whole army of them.
