http://www.pcworld.com/article/3108...first-open-source-third-party-vr-headset.html

The pace of change with new VR product designs is about to increase exponentially.
And while this is one thing to move that along, it's not the only thing.

That's a great name even with the hyphen. You might be right to hold on to it. I do think however that the whole AI image field will face legal problems soon, never mind the AI smut images.

As I had mentioned some time ago multiple times here, the easiest thing to increase your content is with video viewers and 3D movies. So, it is finally coming bigly.

You can now stream Peacock shows on Meta Quest VR headsets​

https://www.engadget.com/you-can-now-stream-peacock-shows-on-meta-quest-vr-headsets-171018405.html

Not to be outdone, others will soon join in. It's just Inevitable.
It's a good sign eventual growth is happening. Just no 'BOOM' (perhaps until Apple anyway)
One more reason to have a HMD.
I have to say that you can loose all distractions and get as comfortable as you like in any direction viewing even just 2D stuff..
There is a addictive nature to this.

I did get on offer on Ai-Porn.com $5k

The .tld .ai has banned porn apparently, so the AI adult dot coms will go up in value for sure.

Oh boy, this year will be huge, Meta also has something nice prepared for us this year:
https://www.uploadvr.com/mark-zuckerberg-on-metaverse/
"

In the near term, we've reached a few milestones that I think are worth calling out. More than a billion Meta avatars have now been created. Since last year, the number of titles in the Quest store with at least $25 million in revenue has doubled. More than half of Quest daily actives now spend more than an hour using their device.

The next milestone is that we're gearing up to launch our next generation consumer virtual and mixed reality device later this year. We launched Quest 2 almost three years ago at this point. It was a very big step forward for VR, and I'm really excited to show the world all the improvements and new technology we've developed since then at a price point that will be accessible for lots of people.

While I hate to say it, meta is sparking interest in response to shareholders.
I'm also sure they are going to say somethiing in advance of a Apple announcement to pre-ride the coattails.
Meta avatars leave a good bit to be desired. It's not going to get better very fast if they keep using cell-phone chips.
But they are progressing.
The Quest3 will have more to offer but it seems late. The Qualcomm chip it uses is also late.

But here is to the hope and desire the platforms they create for social VR succeed.
I still think it will be a 'unknown' that will create a 'winning platform' after these get out there in mass.
It goes well for names if a lot of folks try anyway.

It would be the same as any other new tech hitting the market including, if you look back in history, Google and Facebook stealing the steam from Microsoft's dominate player status. And they started with few people with an idea.

But all eyes are on WWDC for now. I doubt we will see a bigger headline this year. And it mainly is due to the chips Apple has designed make it years ahead of everyone else.

You don't have to take any immediate action at this time. Instead, we’re sharing this blog post to help you understand the current status of our Meta XR support for Unreal Engine. We also want to inform you about our plans to support UE4 and UE5 in the future.

Facebook moving more towards XR branding

Of course they will. They are using Qualcomm Snapdragon XR chips for the Quest. And Qualcomm has their own XROS.(not for a user OS, but for a dev platform OS)
But only in the stand-alones so far.
Not something you will see Apple doing as they have their own chips and OS. Surely to be branded in some way with Apple.
But what is Microsoft up to?

Apple has a patent on XrOs so many point to this as extended reality operating system

I have discussed that a few times here. Surprised you did not read.
But the skinny is, it's not Apple's TM, nor Patent.
It was some Chinese investors/TM attorney's trying to squat several TM's in advance of what they thought some were going to do.
Someone in the NON-MEDIA interpreted that as they wished to and the story was picked up by Bloomberg.
Conjecture built on conjecture, that started with a squat attempted theft.
But I know in advance, many will believe what they want to think about it, just the facts do not pan out that way.
But I have warned about it. Proceed with caution.

Here is Qualcomm's 2nd gen XR or named XR2. The XR2 gen2 will be used in the Quest3 and some other stand-alone units by others.

https://mixed-news.com/en/qualcomm-xr2-first-hint-at-project-halliday/

It is their first attempt with AR and/or mixed reality as a pass through mode using built-in cams (so, it's not really pass-through but remains to be seen). And other cams for reading the environment around the user.

This is the same general format of the first Apple HMD.
Only Apple's is not using a smartphone chip for cpu/gpu, but one of a specialized design and much more powerful by multiple factors.

All of those stand-alone units using Qualcomm's chip will generally have the same capability, but the functionality of it will vary. All about the software. So, Meta will not be alone, but with competitors of the same capability, using the same chip. And likely all branded with XR.
With the exception of Apple and perhaps Microsoft in a future release. I don't see anyone else capable of producing their own chips. But that could change in a year or so.
There are a lot of new FAB units being built in the US and elsewhere.

I am sure that Quest/Qualcomm units as well as Apple will have 5g wireless capability. It's the easiest way to a true stand-alone.

I hope many here loaded up on XR domains since we chatted XR back in here in 2016. Xr has moved nicely from a far fetched idea into a now mainstream adoption by many companies but imo only and best of luck to all
