Put on your GameFace ! One HMD - All Platforms ?

Great idea that can sell well, but only if it is priced right.
And it could be meaningless in 2 years if we get some sort of standards in the market.
While you will never get everyone to agree on a standard,
it is likely they will get compatible with others formats.
More like what happened with CD-R/RW & DVD-R/RW

There's a new version of Google Glass, and it's been secretly used by hundreds of factory workers for the last two years

(The new Google Glass Enterprise Edition has a removable "Glass Pod" which can be used with safety glasses.AGCO)
You may have thought Google Glass was dead, but the search giant has quietly resurrected its once-controversial smart glasses." data-reactid="22" style="margin-bottom: 1em; color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">You may have thought Google Glass was dead, but the search giant has quietly resurrected its once-controversial smart glasses.

according to a report by Backchannel. The new Google Glass Enterprise Edition is designed with factory workers in mind.

In the Backchannel piece, author Steven Levy visits a tractor factory in rural Jackson, Minnesota, where factory workers use the glasses while working on an assembly line.

"Glass is not a hip way to hang apps in front of [the worker's] eyeballs, but a tool — as much a tool as her power wrenches. It walks her through her shifts at Station 50 on the factory floor, where she builds motors for tractors," Levy writes. "A typical task at [the factory] takes 70 minutes, broken into steps of three to five minutes. When a worker begins a step, it’s spelled out on the tiny screen. Menu items offer the options to go to the next step, take a picture, ask for help, and more. When a step is done, the worker says, 'Okay, Glass, proceed,' and the process repeats."

The new version of Google Glass has several improvements over the original Explorer Edition, which Google made available to consumers in 2013. The company halted consumer sales of that version in 2015 (though it continued selling it to businesses) after it drew criticism and controversy, particular over its ability to surreptitiously record video.

Updates include:

• The camera button also functions as a release switch to remove the "Glass Pod," which is the electronic part of the glasses, from the glasses frames.
• The Glass Pod can attach directly to safety glasses.
• The Pod can be used with prescription lenses. Backchannel even hypothesizes that popular glasses manufactures will start to make frames that are compatible with it.
• Extended battery life.
• A better camera.
• A faster processor and Wi-Fi, and better security.
• A red light that turns on while the glasses are recording

As I have said, AR's real $$$ is in Enterprise. Apple & MS is well aware of that as well.
Enterprise is almost 'pushing' them for solutions to problems with the devices.

With Sony announcing a 'SALE' of up to 60% on VR Gear
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gam...ual-reality-GTA-Battlefield-Tekken-bloodborne
I would say this xmas will be the first 'competitive' round for VR.
We know there will be enough hardware choices to fill the needs and the pricing will be right,
But will there be enough media to keep all those consumers happy ?
I'm going to guess and say that 20% of content is going to come from consumers via YouTube 360/180 and Facebook Video. So will will have a lot of 'home brew' VR entertainment.
Of course, I don't expect that until next year.

Then I see this VR shopping app seeking funding on Kickstrter...
https://www.vrfocus.com/2017/07/vr-shopping-application-seeks-crowd-funding/
Interesting since I never really expected shopping to be a 'large' segment of the space.
I don't find that a compelling reason to buy a VR device. But if you have one...
Perhaps this app will lead the way ?

Funny, but because I have some past experience in retail asset management, I always thought of VR/AR as a natural complement to the movement away from Brick & Mortar towards online shopping... (Hence my regging of names like FurnitureVR/FashionVr/FlowersVR/SaleVR/Coupon(s)VR/FoodVR, etc...) The one thing I don't understand with this Kickstarter project is that the entrepreneur mistakenly thinks consumers will purchase the VR shopping software... No doubt, if virtual shopping drives sales, the various vendors will quickly be picking up the tab for the app... (Home consumers, of course, will be supplying their own goggles!)
