Oculus Quest 2 is better and cheaper… with one Facebook…



8:56

The Oculus Quest can see through to the real world and extend some level of overlap of virtual objects like room boundaries, but Apple’s headset could explore passthrough augmented reality to a greater degree. I’ve seen impressive examples of this in headsets from companies like Varjo. It could be a stepping stone for Apple to developing 3D augmented reality tech on smaller glasses designs down the road.

Right now, there aren’t any smart glasses manufacturers able to develop normal-looking glasses that can achieve advanced, spatially aware 3D overlays of holographic objects. Some devices like the nReal Light have tried, to mixed success. Facebook’s upcoming smart glasses this year aren’t full AR, but Facebook is working on ways to achieve that tech later on. Apple might take a similar approach with glasses, too.
