I speculate on this for the following reasons: Valve has not announced a standalone headset yet while customizing the Qualcomm reference designs would be “easy” for it. MagicLeap 2 has inside-out tracked controllers. During a presentation, MagicLeap has unveiled some more features about its headset and controllers.
MagicLeap finally dropped to mixed reviews and BrainXchange published its Definitive Guide to Adopting Wearables, AR and VR in Enterprise. After years of secrecy and hype, MagicLeap finally released its first developer kit in August for $2,295. The company’s direction is unclear. Image source: ZDNet.
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. Stanford and Samsung create a super-high-resolution display. We’re excited to try this headset when it becomes available. Doug Lombardi, Valve.
The headset, dubbed “VR Classroom 2” should feature: Snapdragon 835 reference design 4K total resolution 75Hz framerate 64GB onboard storage + SD Card slot. MagicLeap and nReal are trying to find an agreement. From the specs, it seems a good VR viewer. News worth a mention. Image by nReal).
The best examples of this are the MagicLeap prototypes, Microsoft Hololens and Qualcomm’s VR reference design. Tagged with: arm , facebook , google , Intel , microsoft , Peraso , qualcomm , samsung Facebook Twitter Reddit More. I do not hold any equity positions with any companies cited in this column.
They are based on the Atraxa reference design (Image by Road To VR). Samsung AR glasses. Probably the true surprise of the whole show has been Samsung, that during its press conference has teased some AR glasses. Ok Samsung, you have our attention. Neon is a project about realistic avatars by Samsung subsidiary STAR Labs.
Rumors already talk about a new AR headset produced by Microsoft in collaboration with Samsung that should substitute it, but we have no sure info about it. Lumus Maximus proves to be one of the most interesting reference designs for AR glasses. More info (Ghostbusters VR) More info (Zenith) More info (Demeo). Other news. Learn more.
“Apple has invented the glasses of the future” is probably what journals and magazines will say the day of launch, and all the various HoloLens , MagicLeap , etc… will be forgotten by mainstream media.
Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard and Oculus Rift are popular solutions that enable this form of immersive experience (in conjunction with a number of controllers and sensors). I’m currently developing a non-headset / non-screen based solution which I also refer to as a Mixed Reality solution.
These technologies, all coming of age in the 21st century are often referred to as “exponential” — true to Moore’s Law, about every 18 months their capabilities and performance powers double for the same cost. This is a common effect of computing technologies, known as “Moore’s Law” for the co-founder of Intel, Gordon Moore.
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. Omnidirectional treadmills: Virtuix Omni: Cyberith Virtualizer: Infinadeck: Ready Player One (novel).
Despite the marked absence of Samsung, all the usual players were there. MECHANICS: This is a roomscale Vive experience, which, at New Frontier was done as a 2-person thing, but I’ve also seen it referred to as a 3-player experience. And I mean actual magic – not the VC Kool-Aid-drinking Magic-Leapmagic.
MagicLeap. Me, wearing a MagicLeap One. The most important news has been for sure the launch of the MagicLeap One. Rear view of the MagicLeap One. Leap Motion. You may ask why I’m adding Leap Motion here. Leap Motion’s North Star headset (Image by Leap Motion).
Co-founder Jinha Lee developed pioneering AR interfaces at MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung and then also showed them at a TED talk. Our guest today, Jacob, has also been a partner at Samsung NEXT. And when Jinha finished up at Samsung, AR had sort of started catching on in earnest. Jacob, welcome to the show.

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.

Numerous firms such as T-Mobile, Square Enix, Samsung, Meta Platforms, Lenovo, MagicLeap, and many others have tapped the new platform for their XR devices while promoting startup accelerators to debut new solutions, greatly expand use cases for the new technology. AR Smart Viewer Design.

In my opinion , the true error is with the Vive 1 , that will get a price that is higher than the one of all the competitors… and that will cost as much as a Samsung Odyssey, notwithstanding its far lower features. MagicLeap releases its SDK. It is so possible to start creating your MagicLeap application.
Correction: The $2 billion a year refers to global VR investment numbers, while the $50 billion U.S. Above: Samsung’s Gear 360 and Gear VR headset. Question: From a prioritization standpoint as far as investments, are you looking for the next MagicLeap, or are you looking at content platforms, content creation, codecs?
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.
Alan: That, to me, is something that… at the very beginning when VR was kicking off, when Samsung did this huge presentation and they had hundreds — or probably a thousand headsets — all synchronized. Just seeing a technologist refer to hands as this natural gesture interface is hilarious.
at the very beginning when VR was kicking off, when Samsung did this huge presentation and they had hundreds -- or probably a thousand headsets -- all synchronized. Just seeing a technologist refer to hands as this natural gesture interface is hilarious. So it makes it a very seamless experience. Alan: That, to me, is something that.

You may ask why we should care about this and the reason is that this headset has way too many similarities with the Vive Cosmos , so it is highly probable that the Cosmos is a product based on that reference design, exactly as the Vive Focus was based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 VR reference design. How are the visuals?
Maybe they will work with a phone, exploiting the new Qualcomm reference designs. MagicLeap is suing nReal. MagicLeap has sued Chi Xu, the founder of nReal. According to MagicLeap, the company has been able to create these intriguing devices so fast only because Chi Xu was a former MagicLeap employee.
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. We are at the same level of Vive Focus or Vive Pro… probably the display is the same made by Samsung.
Joonmo: After we commercialized the VR service for enterprise called Super VR Biz -- and Biz refers to business, which is often used in Korea -- we composed this Super VR Biz with Pico VR headsets, and the contents and network services. Joonmo: Yeah, about one or two years ago we tried to use AR glasses, such as MagicLeap or Nreal.

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. MagicLeap should be very careful.
Microsoft and Samsung may be partnering for an AR device. According to Korean media, Samsung Electronics is working with Microsoft on a new augmented/mixed reality project “involving HoloLens”. Samsung is one of the most famous suppliers of components for electronic devices (e.g. Samsung Odyssey+).
If they will prove to be successful, I can imagine also other brands entering the field , like Samsung (that until some years ago was interested in hybrid headsets) or some Chinese brands like Shadow Creator. Niantic is building a reference design for AR glasses (Image by Niantic). MagicLeap 2 is going to launch this year.
