Quest 3, which could be announced at Connect 2023, should instead have micro OLED displays, and probably feature a custom Meta chip able to handle better VR workloads than Qualcomm’s ones. It should sell 2–3 million units in its first year. According to Youtuber Sadly It’s Bradley, Project Cambria should come half of this year (Q2 2022) and have MiniLED screens and pancake lenses. And that’s it, until the next reliable rumor that will invalidate this one.īut there is more! This week we have rumors also on Meta headsets. The headset, which for everyone should have reliably come at half of this year, has been already delayed to a reliable release at the end of this year. There would be one big display for the peripheral vision, and two high-density microdisplays for the fovea area of the eyes. Regarding Apple, the super-reliable analysts have stated that the headset may feature three displays because just two are for losers. I know it may sound weird to you, but we have new rumors on Apple headsets and also about the future Meta Project Cambria and Quest 3.

With it on, your voice is muffled for people around you, but at the same time, people in VR can hear your voice better thanks to its noise removal. The WTF prize of this CES goes again to Shiftall for its “innovative” Mutalk device: it is a box that you put in front of your mouth to have a better social VR experience.It should come for around $500 later this year. It is like bHaptics but more lightweight, and many people commented very positively about it. There has been a lot of talk around the OWO haptic vest, a very lightweight T-shirt able to provide vibrational and electrical feedback directly on your skin.It weighs only 250g and is so very comfortable to wear. Called MeganeX, it features 2,560 × 2,560 per-eye resolution, 120Hz, and especially a design that reminds very bulky sunglasses. Panasonic subsidiary Shiftall (and I underline: SHIF TALL, please don’t mix the F and the T) has announced the most lightweight SteamVR compatible headset.I think it’s amazing because it’s the first time that we have a tracker for a standalone headset, and we all know how much the Vive Tracker has been important for the whole ecosystem This tracker can be worn on the wrist, for a more accurate hand-tracking experience, or be installed on external props (e.g. HTC has announced the Vive Wrist Tracker, a 6 DOF tracker for the Vive Focus 3.A Horizon game is coming for this new headset, and some rumors talk also about Half-Life: Alyx potentially be available in the future It seems like a great tethered headset for the PS5. It will be the first consumer headset with eye-tracking and foveated rendering, and also the first one to feature haptics directly on the headset. Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed that the next PSVR headset will be called PSVR 2 and will feature 2K x 2K per eye, up to 120 Hz framerate, and 110° FOV.

I have to admit that I thought this CES wouldn’t have brought great news about XR, but actually, we had some nice announcements. (Image by CTA) CES brought some interesting news about AR and VRĪs I’ve said, I won’t focus this roundup on the announcements from CES, but for sure I can’t ignore the fact that CES happened, so let me tell you what has been in my opinion the most interesting news from there.
