Facebook announced today that an upcoming update to the Quest development SDK will include experimental support for a Passthrough API which will allow Unity developers to build AR experiences and features into apps on Quest 2.
We are now at the level that we are super happy with the latency and deployments.”. As this article was being written, Varjo further expanded its cloud with Unreal and Unity engine integrations. For example, MagicLeap has had a partnership with Google Cloud for the past year now. CloudXR From NVIDIA.
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.
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. What about MagicLeap ?
Global tech giants such as NVIDIA, Lenovo, Unity, Epic Games, HTC VIVE, and others have already entered the metaverse space race. New mixed reality (MR) headsets such as the Meta Quest Pro, MagicLeap 2, Lenovo VRX, and Pico 4 Enterprise have dramatically stepped up the XR industry.
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.’
On the client side, the system will become compatible with iOS devices, and a MagicLeap client has also been developed. On the technological side, it seems all is set to start using cloud rendering, but the big problem of the latency from the nearest server remains; VRSS (Variable Rate SuperSampling) v2 has been announced.
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.
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. In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. Find out more details, dynamics and submission guidelines here. .
Some use cases that are presented, like realtime streaming of VR games, are still far away : streaming of desktop games has not proven yet to be a successful business, so streaming of VR games, that is even more difficult because of the low latency requirement, is something not so close in the future. All the others are getting breadcrumbs.
Microsoft MagicLeap Varjo HP Acer Samsung ASUS Dell Biel AjnaXR FYR Medical ESight Canon IrisVision VRgineers Zappar Lynx Valve Microsoft Microsoft has been increasing its focus on the extended reality landscape in recent years, with the production of solutions such as Microsoft Mesh, and a metaverse environment for Microsoft Teams.
MagicLeap Currently focusing its attention on the enterprise landscape, MagicLeap produces AR and MR headsets designed to address the needs of various industries. The device includes two active Bluetooth controllers and access to development platforms such as Unity.
Doctors can leverage the technology to access detailed scans of patients in real-time with MagicLeap, HoloLens 2, and other headsets. Other Contributing Factors 5G allows developers access to low-latency, low-bandwidth, and seamless connectivity to create and execute such programmes.
Devices such as the MagicLeap and the Hololens rely on Waveguide optics. The XR visual processing pipeline is both compute intensive and latency sensitive. Much like the headroom with smartphone processing, 5G creates infrastructure level headroom for data, throughput and lowers latency.
This conveniently allows access to applications with low-latency, industry-grade GPU acceleration and streaming capabilities for multimodal use. CloudXR Client Extensions will also offer a key plugin for Unity Editor, providing developers with bespoke CloudXR applications.
This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and MagicLeap. The reveal that Apple will be using Unity to bring 3D applications and games to Vision Pro was exciting. Their partnership with Unity will get them there quickly. Apple will use Unity to bring 3D applications and games to Vision Pro.
Doing so will also provide greater interoperability with additional platforms such as Unity and Xcode, among others. 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. “Now we need to see the stuff working,” he said.
Many products showcased at the conference included flagship releases of VR headsets and solutions such as the Meta Quest Pro, MagicLeap 2, Lenovo ThinkReality A3, and AT&T’s Volumetric Video Photo Booth, among many others.
And in that way, we have an SDK for Android, an SDK for iOS, and then also an SDK for Unity, which you can use to deploy cross-platform that will allow you to interpret and read data from the sensors to do things like recognize gestures. Alan: I don’t know if you’ve tried to MagicLeap. That’s an option.

Alan: I don't know if you've tried to MagicLeap. Michael: Well that's an option.
Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. 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.
The new DRIVE Thor superchip aimed at autonomous vehicles, which companies will be able to use from 2025 Omniverse Cloud , which lets companies use Omniverse completely via cloud rendering even on non-powerful machines A connector to let you use Omniverse with Unity. Rec Room announces Rec Room Studio.
And what I mean by that is, we had this proof of concept, we were really passionate about doing this, we understood the benefits, but we didn’t really go hire anyone that had Unity experience, or didn’t hire anyone that had 3D modeling experience. I didn’t have a background in Unity. Alan: That’s incredible.

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.
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.
The problem is not the headset, but the controllers, that maybe to spare battery are emitting very low IR light, that can’t be detected very well outside, where the Sun emits too many IR rays; A Redditor has published a super cool guide on how to obtain the most from your router to have very low latency on Virtual Desktop.
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.

MagicLeap kicks off the month with the announcement of an enormous $794 million fundraising round, backed by Alibaba. A series of announcements from Amazon, Crytek, Epic Games and Unity Technologies showcase an evolution among their respective game engines into VR world creation toolsets. February 2016.
This week’s episode goes all the way back to last year’s Curiosity Camp, when Alan shared a ride with Unity Lab’s Timoni West and Vapor IO CEO Cole Crawford, recording a podcast along the way. Timoni: Director of XR in Unity Labs. Alan: Director of XR at Unity Labs, and Cole Crawford, CEO of Vapor IO. Or virtual reality?

It is standalone (as HoloLens and MagicLeap ) and has cameras through which it sees the environment. Anyway, all the analysis for tracking happens on the device and not on the cloud (obviously, latency would be enormous otherwise!). For instance, in Unity, the Oculus Utilities plugin is the same for PC, Go and GearVR.
