Facebook: Boz and Zuckerberg splash with VR prototypes

Shortly before HTCS today s announcement of the Vive Flow (5 pm, a probably very slim VR system), competitor Facebook is apparently trying to take a little wind from the sails to the hype. Both Mark Zuckerberg Personal as well as VR boss Andrew Boz Bosworth posed proudly in social media with different VR prototypes.

Zuckerberg tried out according to Facebook post in Redmond Our Next-Generation Technology in the areas of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Knest Intelligence . Particularly impressed was the Facebook CEO from the detrimental early prototypes with Retina resolution . The built-in screens could thus increase the resolution so that the retina can no longer recognize any pixels or grids. So far, this is only the professional headsets Varjo VR-3 and XR-3 \ - and there are only in a narrow focus range: This can not be clearly exhausted by previous software yet.

Boz Wierderum posed on Twitter wide grinning with a headset in a particularly small form factor of a ski glasses. In his tweet, the costly Chief Technology Officer and the opposite Head of Virtual Reality succeeds:

I m proud of the research on which Michael Abrash s team works in FRL-R Redmond - I m curious to throw a close look at some of the technologies that the metaverse will underpin (we work on various prototyping Headsets to prove concepts, this is one of them. Quasi. It s a long story.

The Boz pose did not miss its effect: HTCS China President Alvin Wang Graylin joined promptly:

Hey Boz, chic research project. Do you want to replace it fresh from our factory against a production ready for production?

Hey Boz, Nice Looking Research Project. Want to Trade For A Production Quality Device Hot Out of Our Factory? ????

Thus, Graylin states that his company was the first to bring a full-fledged VR system in such a small form factor to the West - including full freedom of movement (6DOF). In autumn, Huawei introduced a 6dof variant of his ultrasc model Huawei Vr Glass . However, the Chinese Ger�t was not marketed in a large style of Western end customers.

Facebook s own annual event Facebook Connect will take place on Thursday, October 28th. In the (per stream transmitted) event to VR, AR and other future techniques, the company traditionally presents its progress, future planes and visions in the areas of VR, AR and related topics.

Valve also works as a role in a standalone VR system ( Deckard ), which automatically contacts a PC and Steam for wireless contact. Sony, on the other hand, returns to the fifth PSVR anniversary, his old system in the foreground, instead of placing more about the upcoming PS5 headset PlayStation VR2 (project name).
