Of course, the beauty of real-time VR rendering combined with a multi-axis robot arm means that its potential applications are almost endless and can be improved over time; initially designed for the attractions industry, the same software can be used to safely simulate high-risk scenarios for training purposes. image courtesy Holovis.

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).

I found very interesting that they are trying to create full-body VR content for the Oculus Quest. I have instead tried another demo for Oculus Quest called Anamika, where you impersonate a four-armed Indian goddess. As you may have understood, this was not a game, but a training experience aimed at the enterprise sector.

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch).

This means that at the moment you can not use NextMind with the Oculus Quest standalone (you can use it with Quest + Link, of course).

It is a square one, so it seems that the system takes the undistorted view of one eye, exactly as the Oculus Go does when recording a video. This hand tracking is very rough, so do not expect a Leap Motion -type interface, but it can be good for some VR applications. And Vive Controllers? Passenger Mode.
