Say goodbye to conference rooms. We studied 100s of people in small groups over months in 192 panoramic or closed worlds. Large, open spaces improved nonverbal behavior, restorativeness and group cohesion. In VR space is free (and beneficial). news.stanford.edu/2022/12/14…

There is a class of people who don’t think AR glasses should give you superpowers of vision and hearing because it brings up “privacy issues”. The companies that take that position are going to lose.
AirPods Pro now give you superhuman hearing via transparency mode. The trick is they put these options under accessibility settings. Next year I expect this to happen with eyes instead of ears, via the accessibility settings of the AR visor.

METAVERSE STRATEGY PRO-TIP Don’t put it all in one place. It’s tempting, because visitors can be wowed by it, but the risks outweigh the benefits. Instead, put some here and there. Subtlety wins.

We want to give developers the tools they need to unleash their highest potential and creativity so users can get the most out of their headworn #AR experiences.
#ICYMI, we just introduced #Snapdragon Spaces. For developers, it means getting the chance to create ultra-adaptable headworn #AR experiences. For users, it means extremely immersive gaming and productivity thanks to features like occlusion. Learn more: bit.ly/3C1mNBv

The Metaverse will have arrived when a avatar created on an Adobe platform will be able to walk from a Facebook/Meta social space into a SteamVR game, and be viewed in AR/VR headsets from Apple, Microsoft, Vive and others.. It will be a completely open platform.

Lol I actually leave a lot of breadcrumb clues about what I’m building in order to prime folks for what’s coming. 🤣 Wherever possible I also give away as much XR knowledge as I can for free so ppl don’t have to relearn what we discovered our last several years. Ecosystem growth – at San Diego, CA
People who actually know what's next are busy quietly building it. They certainly aren't on Twitter giving away that knowledge for free, one bold prediction at a time.

The average VR user uses their headset in a MONTH. What they use their phone in a DAY. Keep these numbers in mind when building for VR. What gets people to put on the headset, at all?
