Northern Digital is a Waterloo, Canada-based manufacturer of 3D measurement devices, and while the company has mainly focused on creating for various industries such as medicine and aeronautics throughout their 35 years of existence, they’ve recently unveiled a reference design for a magnetic tracking system for VR headsets and controllers.
Generally, “the cloud” refers to remote servers that do work off of a device. 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. The bigger your XR needs are, the larger your software needs are.
I think that Gartner was not referring to the consumer market, where VR is still unripe (even if devices like the Oculus Quest and the Vive Focus Plus are helping it in becoming more widespread), but at the B2B one, where VR is already helping companies to spare money (e.g. thanks to a better training). thanks to a better training).
Play for Dream teased its headset's low latency passthrough by having a racing driver weave between cones while wearing it. One of the concerns about passthrough is latency. With see-through AR you get zero latency view of the real world, whereas in passthrough systems it takes time to process the camera frames.
While XR1 was made for low-end devices, XR2 5G targets high-end standalone headsets, making it a candidate for Oculus Quest 2, MagicLeap 2, and similar next-gen devices. Today the company is introducing the latest iteration of that chipset, the Snapdragon XR2 5G. And then there’s integrated 5G. Image courtesy Qualcomm.
The circle will close with the release of XR glasses, and we know that Niantic is also working on a reference system for them. 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.
There is so a chance that LG is actually working on the Quest Pro 2, but it may also be that the CEO was referring to another headset. So even if we zero the network time, there is still a lot of latency because of decoding, and Wi-Fi 7 can do nothing about that.
I have also to say that there is still a long road to go before going there: the magazines that have tried the solution of HTC found it very interesting, but at the same time highlighted how the latency was still high and sometimes if you moved too fast, you lose the tracking. The look it provides is also cool.
Nreal, Meta, MagicLeap, and RealWear produce AR devices that suit consumer, enterprise, or industrial environments. Kalinowski refers to the six new technologies in Meta’s AR device as new technology introductions (NTIs), and the company wants to get them right before release. The device took a while to hit the market.
So at least the collaboration with Valve is true, but notice that it has not been on the headset, so they got no reference design from Valve, it has just been on the software integration. Some years ago, she performed in The Life, a Mixed Reality art piece inside the MagicLeap One. Doug Lombardi, Valve.
Please also refer to the Kickstarter link above where I describe that we came up with our solution by linking medical software to the gaming world. 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).
At this year’s IMMERSE Summit , Road to VR sat down with Matt McIlwain , managing director at Madrona Venture Group (investor in Envelop VR and Pixvana ), and Patrick Eggen , managing director at Qualcomm Ventures (investor in Owlchemy Labs and MagicLeap ), to discuss their investing strategies when it comes to virtual and augmented reality.
Similar to augmented reality, mixed reality experiences are available through a variety of tools, including headsets like the HoloLens, and HoloLens 2, or the MagicLeap headset. Often, these assets are referred to as “holograms”. 3D assets: Fully three-dimensional content, accessible in the real world.
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.
Connectivity modules will provide the world’s first WiFi 7 with latency under 2 milliseconds, 40 per cent less power consumption, and 5.8 The AR2 includes a security module in the CPU for on-demand, low-latency protection from hackers, unwanted or untrusted software, and other malicious actors. Gbps of peak speed.
And the importance of the general technical work I do in terms of creating low-latency experiences, and how they can be used to combine together to create better human safety conditions. Alan: I wonder if you could do a combination of putting ARCore and ARKit capabilities, mixed with GPS, mixed with the MagicLeap, to give it all in one.

Kopin is one, but they made a reference design that they’re hoping other companies like RealWear will adapt and manufacture and market. Charlie: RealWear is a company that is associated with Kopin, and uses their reference design to create a monocular micro-display. Those are the kinds of apps that MagicLeap wants to enable.

HoloLens 2, MagicLeap 2, iPhone Pro, and iPad Pro automatically scan your room and create a 3D mesh, which apps leverage for collision and occlusion between virtual and real objects. Meta told me it’s looking into automatic plane detection – referring to flat surfaces like walls and tables. Pro Controllers & Hand Tracking.
This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and MagicLeap. AR can also assist in quality inspections by highlighting defects, providing real-time feedback, and comparing finished products to digital reference models. When you look at streaming channels, they compete against each other and make better content.
After having announced the impressive XR2 chipset in December, today Qualcomm has released the related XR2 reference-design, upon which will be based most of the upcoming standalone XR headsets. Qualcomm XR2 reference design. Chipsets and reference designs. Then the hard part is implementing the firmware and OS magic.
The idea of Leap Motion is going against the current trend of augmented reality glasses, that is mostly based on expensive devices that have closed ecosystems (e.g. HoloLens or MagicLeap One ), but to create a headset that is: Affordable; Completely open, both from a software and hardware standpoint. Reference Design Issues.
This is everything I have been able to find on specifications: Snapdragon 835 VR reference design; Same high-quality lenses of Oculus Go; FOV around 95°-100°; 1600×1440 per eye resolution; 72 FPS; Adjustable IPD; 4 GB ram. It is standalone (as HoloLens and MagicLeap ) and has cameras through which it sees the environment.
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. The company to keep an eye on is MagicLeap. Standalone/All-in-two headsets.
For those that want to design their own hardware, the OSVR goggle is a good reference design. 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. MagicLeap is not commercial yet.
