This week, Meta opened its Meta Horizon OS [the operating system powering the Quest product portfolio] to third-party developers, allowing a more comprehensive range of developers to create applications for the firm’s portfolio of XR products.Meta’s open approach comes as Apple establishes a walled garden ecosystem to support its spatial computing vision. The intention appears straightforward, directly aiming at Apple’s approach to its hardware ecosystem.On the other hand, Meta is taking an open approach, giving developers a customisable framework for specified solutions. This approach makes sense for Meta as the firm enters partnerships to expand its product reach with help…
This week, with long-time technology collaborator EssilorLuxottica, Meta introduced new Ray Ban smartglasses designs and features. The latest designs do not flip the product range on its head with ground-breaking features. However, a new sleeker design intends to drive consumer adoption of the AR-lite device. The second-generation smart glasses are expanding just in time for summer with three new frames. New Skyler frames are suited for smaller faces, meanwhile the low bridge Headliner frames considers wearers who find glasses sit too low on their face. Moreover, Meta is also introducing a limited-edition Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, exclusively for the Scuderia…
The business value of spatial data goes beyond headsets to encompass a broader range of end devices, with implications that come with it. The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently released a report highlighting the emerging industrial metaverse and the significant players who are investing in XR-related technologies to boost workplace operations.The World Economic Forum recently released its “Navigating the Industrial Metaverse” report earlier this month, highlighting the range of emerging technologies fueling the future of 3D virtual collaboration and simulation-defining the future of work.The WEF report also highlights how XR can offer enterprises real-time, interactive, persistent, and synchronous representations and…
As Summer quickly approaches and significant events are set to continue the ever-evolving path of XR, the industry and its players are working to keep themselves above water and the competition.The industry is undergoing tremendous growth, and the future of immersive workplace solutions will depend on today’s innovations and actions.With Q1 reports incoming, XR firms are reflecting on success and failure to achieve a market lead by 2025.Reality Labs Again Records a Mixed Performance, Zuckerberg Banks on AR andAIBig week for Meta…Meta has released its Q1 earnings report, indicating a rise in general capital and operational growth. However, the report…
The industrial metaverse and its related technologies, such as digital twins, shared virtual collaboration tools, and smart glasses, are set to revolutionize business operations with immersive tools providing real-time, interactive, persistent, 3D, and synchronous collaboration between the working world.Moreover, the enterprise XR space is not exclusive. Spatial/XR data is helping to inform a range of end hardware types, like robotics. Additionally, the vendors and technology innovators combine technologies such as AI and blockchain to enhance XR tools further.Advancements in technology are driving the industrial revolution forward, enabling industries to solve increasingly complex problems digitally. This is breaking down traditional barriers…
