'''Augmented reality''' ('''AR''') is a dynamic computer generated experience that enables a user to interact with and view spatially registered overlays of virtual content onto parts of the real world. It can be displayed using a [[head mounted display]] or a [[smartphone]].

The goal of AR devices is to supplement the real world with virtual objects by overlaying digital imageries and information on top of physical objects and enabling the users of the devices to seamlessly interact with the digital content. Through the use of [[computer vision]] and [[object recognition]], digital information about the real world around us can not only be viewed but also manipulated in real-time <ref name=”6”></ref>.

In general, the technology combines real and virtual objects, aligns real and virtual objects with each other, and runs interactively in real-time. Furthermore, it is not restricted to a specific type of display technology, like an HMD, and can potentially be applied to other senses beside sight <ref name=”6”></ref>.

In the [[mixed reality]] spectrum, AR is closer to a real environment. Therefore, unlike Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality does not replace the real world with a virtual one. AR simply enhances and modifies the real world <ref name=”6”></ref>.

In 2007, MIT recognized AR as one of ten emerging technologies, reporting that this type of human-computer interaction is on the verge of major adoption <ref name=”6”></ref>.

==Technologies==
===Optical head-mounted display===
Augmented Reality devices are transparent glasses-like wearables called [[optical head-mounted display]]s ([[OHMD]]s). These devices have displays with small projectors that create digital information and rendered images on top of objects in the physical world. These devices have built-in cameras that uses [[computer vision]] and [[object recognition]] to identify objects and decipher the physical environment around the devices. Information and data about the surroundings can be streamed into the display in real time. Users can interact and manipulate the information through various input methods such as voice commands, hand and body gestures, touchpads and more.

'''Virtual reality (VR)''' is the experience of having a computer generated environment immerse the user. It involves technology that uses computer-generated environments to simulate a physical presence in a virtual world. The system uses position-tracking and responds to the user’s inputs.

Virtual Reality is an interactive and immersive medium that can be used to create unique experiences that are unattainable elsewhere. VR has the power to transform [[games]], [[films]] and other forms of media. Some enthusiasts call VR the "ultimate input/output device" or the "last medium" because any subsequent medium can be created within VR, using only software. <ref name=”0”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>

While [[Augmented Reality]] enhances the real world with digital content, Virtual Reality completely replaces the real world with a virtual one, creating a brand new digital environment for the users to explore. <ref name=”0”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>

==Main characteristics==

'''Interactive -''' The user’s input controls the system and guides the behavior of the VR experience, while also modifying the virtual environment. This type of interaction engages the user, connecting him to the application in a more natural way since the environment responds directly to the stimuli. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Immersive -''' An immersive experience has to provide a sense of presence as well as a sense of engagement. Immersion can be divided into three different aspects:

'''1.''' According to Bierbaum (2000), “For a VR application to be immersive, it must be perceptually immersive by providing ‘the presentation of sensory cues that convey perceptually to users that they’re surrounded by the computer-generated environment.’” Therefore, the VR must provide the user with an all-encompassing sensory input. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''2.''' The second aspect of immersion is the sense of presence. This implies that the VR experience must give the user the sense they are “in” the virtual world. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''3.''' The final aspect is engagement. It is the degree “to which the user has a sense they are deeply involved in the environment.” <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Multisensory -''' providing a virtual experience that uses multiple human sensory systems increases the level of immersion. While current VR systems cannot provide a full range of stimuli to all human senses, it is expected that in the future this problem will be solved and the VR experience will be completely or almost indistinguishable from reality. The more senses are involved in the VR experience, the higher the degree of engagement and, consequently, this results in a greater sense of presence. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Synthetic -''' The environment is artificial, created by a computer in real-time. <ref name=”0”></ref>

==Hardware Technologies==
===Head-mounted Display===
VR is created by '''[[head-mounted display]]s''' (HMDs) such as the [[Oculus Rift]]. HMDs utilize [[stereoscopic displays]] and specialized [[lenses]] along with [[#Motion Tracking|motion tracking hardware]] to give the illusion that the user is physically inside the virtual world.

To create the illusion of depth, a display is placed very close to the users' eyes, covering their entire field of view. Two images that are very similar but have different perspectives are channeled into each eye to create [[parallax]], the visual phenomenon where our brains perceive depth based on the difference in the apparent position of objects.

Specialized lenses are placed between the display and our eyes. The lenses allow our eyes to focus on the images on the display, even though the display is only a few inches in front of our faces. Without lenses, our entire VR world would become blurry because human eyes have trouble focusing on things that are very close.<ref>http://doc-ok.org/?p=1360</ref>

The headset tracks the movement of your head and changes the images shown on the display based on it. This process creates the sensation that users are located within the virtual environment. Users of these devices are not only able to experience the computer-simulated environments but also interact with them. Various input methods, from the traditional game controllers and keyboards to the futuristic hand gestures and voice commands, are available or under development.

===Motion Tracking===
A HMD [[tracking|tracks]] the movement of the user's head and updates the rendered scene based on its position and orientation. This process is similar to how we look around in real life. There are 2 types of tracking: [[rotational|rotational tracking]] and [[positional tracking|positional]].

[[Rotational tracking]] tracks the 3 rotational movements: pitch, yaw, and roll. It is performed by [[IMUs]] such as [[accelerometer]]s, [[gyroscope]]s and [[magnetometer]]s.

[[Positional tracking]] tracks the 3 translational movements: forward/back, up/down and left/right. Positional tracking is usually more difficult than rotational tracking and is accomplished through different [[Positional tracking#Types|Types]] and [[Positional tracking#Systems|Systems]].

Motion tracking is not only used to track your head in HMDs but also used to track your hands and rest of your body through various [[Input Devices|input devices]].

===Input Devices===
[[Input Devices]] allow the users to influence and manipulate the virtual realm they are in. These devices include traditional input methods such as gamepad, mouse and keyboard and novel devices that track the position and orientation of your [[:Category:Hands/Fingers Tracking|hands]], [[:Category:Hands/Fingers Tracking|fingers]], [[:Category:Feet Tracking|feet]] and other [[:Category:Body Tracking|body parts]].

Virtual reality has a long history of development. While the main advancements happened after the introduction of electronics and computer technology, there are precursors to the ideas and implementation of VR that date as far back as the 1800s. For example, focusing solely on VR as a means of creating the illusion of being someplace else, then the earliest attempts at virtual reality could be considered the panoramic murals (or 360-degree murals). These would fill the viewer’s field of vision with the intention of making them feel a sense of presence at a certain historical event or scene <ref name=”1”> Virtual Reality Society. History of Virtual Reality. Retrieved from https://www.vrs.org.uk/virtual-reality/history.html</ref> <ref name=”2”> The Franklin Institute. History of Virtual Reality. Retrieved from https://www.fi.edu/virtual-reality/history-of-virtual-reality</ref>.

What follows is a timeline of the main historical dates and events in the development of VR.

===1838 - Stereoscopic viewers and photos===

Charles Wheatstone demonstrated that the brain processes different two-dimensional images for each eye into a single three dimensional object (Figure 1). The stereoscope was invented in the same year and used twin mirrors to project a single image. When viewing two side by side stereoscopic images through a stereoscope, it gave the sense of depth and immersion <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”> Gemsense. Virtual Reality: History, projections and developments. Retrieved from http://gemsense.cool/virtual-reality-developments/</ref>.

In 1839, William Gruber also patented the View-Master stereoscope which was used for “virtual tourism” and still is produced today. The design principles of the stereoscope can still be found in the Google Cardboard and low-budget VR headsets for smartphones <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

It could be argued that since the creation of stereoscopic images, people have been interested in making images more three dimensional to enrich its experience <ref name=”3”></ref>.

===1929 - Link Trainer===

Edward Link creates the first commercial flight simulator - the Link Trainer (Figure 2). It was entirely electromechanical, “controlled by motors that linked to the rudder and steering column to modify the pitch and roll.” It had a small motor-driven device that simulated turbulence and other disturbances. These flight simulators were used by over 500,000 pilots during World War II for initial training and improving skills <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

===1936 - Pygmalion’s Spectacles===

Science fiction writer Stanley G. Weinbaum wrote a short story - Pygmalion’s Spectacles - that had the idea of a pair of goggles that allowed the user to experience a different world through holographic recordings, smell, taste, and touch. This concept can be easily equated to the VR devices that are currently available or under development <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”4”> Evenden, I. (2016). The history of virtual reality. Retrieved from http://www.sciencefocus.com/article/history-of-virtual-reality</ref>.

===1956 - The Sensorama===

Cinematographer Morton Heilig develops the Sensorama, which was patented only in 1962 and might be considered the first true VR system. It was an arcade-style cabinet that stimulated all the senses. It had a stereoscopic 3D display, stereo speakers, vibrating seat, fans, and a scent producer. It was intended to fully immerse the person in a film. Heilig created six short films for his invention titled Motorcycle, Belly Dancer, Dune Buggy, Helicopter, A date with Sabina and I’m a coca cola bottle! Heilig intended the Sensorama to be one in a line of products for the “cinema of the future”. Unable to secure financial backing, his vision never became reality <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref> <ref name=”5”> Robertson, A. and Zelenko, M. Voices from a virtual past. Retrieved from https://www.theverge.com/a/virtual-reality/oral_history</ref> <ref name=”6”> Mazuryk, T. and Gervautz, M. (1996).

Retrieved from https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/1996/mazuryk-1996-VRH/TR-186-2-96-06Paper.pdf</ref>.

===1960 - First VR Head-Mounted Display===

After the Sensorama, Morton Heilig invented the first example of a virtual reality headset - the Telesphere Mask. It only worked with non-interactive films and didn’t have motion tracking. Nevertheless, the headset provided stereoscopic 3D and wide vision with stereo sound <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref>.

===1961 - First motion tracking HMD===

The true precursor of the HMDs available today was developed by two Philco Corporation engineers, Comeau and Bryan. It was called Headsight and it incorporated a video screen for each eye and a magnetic motion tracking system. This system was linked to a closed circuit camera. The device wasn’t developed for virtual reality applications. Instead, its goal was to allow immersive remote viewing of dangerous situations by the military. The head movements of the used would be replicated by a remote camera, allowing him to look around the environment. While the Headsight was a step in the evolution of the virtual reality headset, it lacked the integration of a computer and image generation <ref name=”1”></ref>.

===1965 - The Ultimate Display===

Ivan Sutherland developed the concept of the “Ultimate Display”. This device could simulate the natural world so realistically that a user could not tell the difference between actual reality and virtual reality. The concept comprised of a virtual world viewed through an HMD and had augmented 3D sound and tactile feedback; computer hardware that created the virtual environment and maintained it in real time; and interactivity between users and objects from the VR world in a realistic way. Sutherland suggested that the device would serve as a “windows into a virtual world”, and his idea would become a core blueprint for the concepts that encompass current VR <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>.

===1968 - Sword of Damocles===

Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull created the Sword of Damocles, an HMD that was held by a mechanical arm mounted on a ceiling. The device was connected to a computer and displayed simple wireframe graphics to the user. The arm tracked the user’s head movements but was difficult to use. The contraption was also too heavy and bulky for comfortable use <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>.

===1969 - Artificial Reality===

Myron Kruegere developed a series of experiences called “Artificial Reality”. He developed computer-generated environments that responded to the people in it. He created several projects such as Glowflow, Metaplay, and Psychic Space leading to the development of the Videoplace technology. This enabled communication between people at a distance in a responsive computer-generated environment <ref name=”1”></ref>.

===1975 - Videoplace===

Myron Kruegere created the Videoplace, which was the first interactive VR platform. The virtual reality surrounded the user and responded to movements and actions without the use of goggles or gloves. The Videoplace was a mix of several other artificial reality systems that he had developed <ref name=”6”></ref> <ref name=”7”> Freefly VR. Time travel through virtual reality. Retrieved from https://freeflyvr.com/time-travel-through-virtual-reality/</ref>.

===1982 - Sayre gloves===

The Sayre glove was the first wired glove. It was invented by Daniel J. Sandin and Thomas Defanti from an idea by Richard Sayre. Both scientists were from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Chicago. The glove used light emitters and photocells in the fingers. When flexed, the quantity of light reaching the photocell changed, translating the finger movements into electrical signals <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1985 - NASA project===

The Virtual Environment Workstation Project at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, was founded with the purpose of producing a VR system that allowed astronauts to control robots outside a space station (Figure 4). The HMD that was developed had super-wide optics (almost an 180-degree field of view) <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1987 - The “Virtual Reality” name is coined===

Before this date, even though there had been developments in VR, there wasn’t a term to describe the field. In 1987, Jaron Lanier (founder of the Visual Programming Lab, VPL) finally coined the term “virtual reality”. Lanier, through his company, developed a range of VR gear like the Dataglove and the EyePhone headset. The company also made the first surgical simulator, the first vehicle prototyping simulator, and the first architecture simulators <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1991 - Virtuality Group===

By this time, VR devices started to be available to the public (although owning cutting-edge VR was still out of reach). The Virtuality Group launched several arcade games and machines in which players would use a set of VR goggles (Figure 5). The machines had immersive stereoscopic 3D visuals, handheld joysticks, and some unit were networked together for multiplayer gaming. There were some discussions about bringing Virtuality to Atari’s Jaguar console, but the idea was abandoned <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1993 - Sega’s virtual reality headset===

At the Consumer Electronics Show in 1993, Sega announced a virtual reality headset for the Sega Genesis console. The prototype had head tracking, stereo sound and LCD screens in the visor. The company intended to have a general release of the product but technical difficulties stopped that from happening and the headset would remain in the prototype phase <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1995 - Nintendo Virtual Boy===

The Virtual Boy was a 3D gaming console, marketed as the first portable console that could display 3D graphics. It was released in Japan and North America, and it was a commercial failure for the Japanese company. Some of the reasons for the failure were the lack of color in graphics (only red and black), lack of software support, and difficulty in using the console in a comfortable position. Production of the console was halted in 1996 <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===Virtual reality in the 21st century===

After 1997, the public interest in VR saw a decrease. Nevertheless, the first fifteen years of the 21st century had several advancements in the field of virtual reality. Computer technology, including small and powerful mobile technologies, increased in power while prices were getting more accessible <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.
The interest in VR regained momentum after Palmer Luckey created the first prototype of the Oculus Rift, in 2011, and launched a kickstarter campaign for its development in 2012. The campaign was successful, raising $2.5 million. In March 2014, Facebook bought the company Oculus VR for $2 billion dollars. After this, virtual reality blew up, with multiple companies investing in the development of their own VR systems. The rise of smartphones with high-density displays and 3D capabilities has also enabled the development of lightweight and practical VR devices <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref> <ref name=”7”></ref>.

'''Virtual reality (VR)''' is the experience of having a computer generated environment immerse the user. It involves technology that uses computer-generated environments to simulate a physical presence in a virtual world. The system uses position-tracking and responds to the user’s inputs.

Virtual Reality is an interactive and immersive medium that can be used to create unique experiences that are unattainable elsewhere. VR has the power to transform [[games]], [[films]] and other forms of media. Some enthusiasts call VR the "ultimate input/output device" or the "last medium" because any subsequent medium can be created within VR, using only software. <ref name=”0”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>

While [[Augmented Reality]] enhances the real world with digital content, Virtual Reality completely replaces the real world with a virtual one, creating a brand new digital environment for the users to explore. <ref name=”0”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>

==Main characteristics==

'''Interactive -''' The user’s input controls the system and guides the behavior of the VR experience, while also modifying the virtual environment. This type of interaction engages the user, connecting him to the application in a more natural way since the environment responds directly to the stimuli. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Immersive -''' An immersive experience has to provide a sense of presence as well as a sense of engagement. Immersion can be divided into three different aspects:

'''1.''' According to Bierbaum (2000), “For a VR application to be immersive, it must be perceptually immersive by providing ‘the presentation of sensory cues that convey perceptually to users that they’re surrounded by the computer-generated environment.’” Therefore, the VR must provide the user with an all-encompassing sensory input. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''2.''' The second aspect of immersion is the sense of presence. This implies that the VR experience must give the user the sense they are “in” the virtual world. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''3.''' The final aspect is engagement. It is the degree “to which the user has a sense they are deeply involved in the environment.” <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Multisensory -''' providing a virtual experience that uses multiple human sensory systems increases the level of immersion. While current VR systems cannot provide a full range of stimuli to all human senses, it is expected that in the future this problem will be solved and the VR experience will be completely or almost indistinguishable from reality. The more senses are involved in the VR experience, the higher the degree of engagement and, consequently, this results in a greater sense of presence. <ref name=”0”></ref>

'''Synthetic -''' The environment is artificial, created by a computer in real-time. <ref name=”0”></ref>

==Hardware Technologies==
===Head-mounted Display===
VR is created by '''[[head-mounted display]]s''' (HMDs) such as the [[Oculus Rift]]. HMDs utilize [[stereoscopic displays]] and specialized [[lenses]] along with [[#Motion Tracking|motion tracking hardware]] to give the illusion that the user is physically inside the virtual world.

To create the illusion of depth, a display is placed very close to the users' eyes, covering their entire field of view. Two images that are very similar but have different perspectives are channeled into each eye to create [[parallax]], the visual phenomenon where our brains perceive depth based on the difference in the apparent position of objects.

Specialized lenses are placed between the display and our eyes. The lenses allow our eyes to focus on the images on the display, even though the display is only a few inches in front of our faces. Without lenses, our entire VR world would become blurry because human eyes have trouble focusing on things that are very close.<ref>http://doc-ok.org/?p=1360</ref>

The headset tracks the movement of your head and changes the images shown on the display based on it. This process creates the sensation that users are located within the virtual environment. Users of these devices are not only able to experience the computer-simulated environments but also interact with them. Various input methods, from the traditional game controllers and keyboards to the futuristic hand gestures and voice commands, are available or under development.

===Motion Tracking===
A HMD [[tracking|tracks]] the movement of the user's head and updates the rendered scene based on its position and orientation. This process is similar to how we look around in real life. There are 2 types of tracking: [[rotational|rotational tracking]] and [[positional tracking|positional]].

[[Rotational tracking]] tracks the 3 rotational movements: pitch, yaw, and roll. It is performed by [[IMUs]] such as [[accelerometer]]s, [[gyroscope]]s and [[magnetometer]]s.

[[Positional tracking]] tracks the 3 translational movements: forward/back, up/down and left/right. Positional tracking is usually more difficult than rotational tracking and is accomplished through different [[Positional tracking#Types|Types]] and [[Positional tracking#Systems|Systems]].

Motion tracking is not only used to track your head in HMDs but also used to track your hands and rest of your body through various [[Input Devices|input devices]].

===Input Devices===
[[Input Devices]] allow the users to influence and manipulate the virtual realm they are in. These devices include traditional input methods such as gamepad, mouse and keyboard and novel devices that track the position and orientation of your [[:Category:Hands/Fingers Tracking|hands]], [[:Category:Hands/Fingers Tracking|fingers]], [[:Category:Feet Tracking|feet]] and other [[:Category:Body Tracking|body parts]].

Virtual reality has a long history of development. While the main advancements happened after the introduction of electronics and computer technology, there are precursors to the ideas and implementation of VR that date as far back as the 1800s. For example, focusing solely on VR as a means of creating the illusion of being someplace else, then the earliest attempts at virtual reality could be considered the panoramic murals (or 360-degree murals). These would fill the viewer’s field of vision with the intention of making them feel a sense of presence at a certain historical event or scene <ref name=”1”> Virtual Reality Society. History of Virtual Reality. Retrieved from https://www.vrs.org.uk/virtual-reality/history.html</ref> <ref name=”2”> The Franklin Institute. History of Virtual Reality. Retrieved from https://www.fi.edu/virtual-reality/history-of-virtual-reality</ref>.

What follows is a timeline of the main historical dates and events in the development of VR.

===1838 - Stereoscopic viewers and photos===

Charles Wheatstone demonstrated that the brain processes different two-dimensional images for each eye into a single three dimensional object (Figure 1). The stereoscope was invented in the same year and used twin mirrors to project a single image. When viewing two side by side stereoscopic images through a stereoscope, it gave the sense of depth and immersion <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”> Gemsense. Virtual Reality: History, projections and developments. Retrieved from http://gemsense.cool/virtual-reality-developments/</ref>.

In 1839, William Gruber also patented the View-Master stereoscope which was used for “virtual tourism” and still is produced today. The design principles of the stereoscope can still be found in the Google Cardboard and low-budget VR headsets for smartphones <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

It could be argued that since the creation of stereoscopic images, people have been interested in making images more three dimensional to enrich its experience <ref name=”3”></ref>.

===1929 - Link Trainer===

Edward Link creates the first commercial flight simulator - the Link Trainer (Figure 2). It was entirely electromechanical, “controlled by motors that linked to the rudder and steering column to modify the pitch and roll.” It had a small motor-driven device that simulated turbulence and other disturbances. These flight simulators were used by over 500,000 pilots during World War II for initial training and improving skills <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

===1936 - Pygmalion’s Spectacles===

Science fiction writer Stanley G. Weinbaum wrote a short story - Pygmalion’s Spectacles - that had the idea of a pair of goggles that allowed the user to experience a different world through holographic recordings, smell, taste, and touch. This concept can be easily equated to the VR devices that are currently available or under development <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”4”> Evenden, I. (2016). The history of virtual reality. Retrieved from http://www.sciencefocus.com/article/history-of-virtual-reality</ref>.

===1956 - The Sensorama===

Cinematographer Morton Heilig develops the Sensorama, which was patented only in 1962 and might be considered the first true VR system. It was an arcade-style cabinet that stimulated all the senses. It had a stereoscopic 3D display, stereo speakers, vibrating seat, fans, and a scent producer. It was intended to fully immerse the person in a film. Heilig created six short films for his invention titled Motorcycle, Belly Dancer, Dune Buggy, Helicopter, A date with Sabina and I’m a coca cola bottle! Heilig intended the Sensorama to be one in a line of products for the “cinema of the future”. Unable to secure financial backing, his vision never became reality <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref> <ref name=”5”> Robertson, A. and Zelenko, M. Voices from a virtual past. Retrieved from https://www.theverge.com/a/virtual-reality/oral_history</ref> <ref name=”6”> Mazuryk, T. and Gervautz, M. (1996). Virtual Reality - History, applications, technology and Future (Technical Report). Retrieved from https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/1996/mazuryk-1996-VRH/TR-186-2-96-06Paper.pdf</ref>.

===1960 - First VR Head-Mounted Display===

After the Sensorama, Morton Heilig invented the first example of a virtual reality headset - the Telesphere Mask. It only worked with non-interactive films and didn’t have motion tracking. Nevertheless, the headset provided stereoscopic 3D and wide vision with stereo sound <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref>.

===1961 - First motion tracking HMD===

The true precursor of the HMDs available today was developed by two Philco Corporation engineers, Comeau and Bryan. It was called Headsight and it incorporated a video screen for each eye and a magnetic motion tracking system. This system was linked to a closed circuit camera. The device wasn’t developed for virtual reality applications. Instead, its goal was to allow immersive remote viewing of dangerous situations by the military. The head movements of the used would be replicated by a remote camera, allowing him to look around the environment. While the Headsight was a step in the evolution of the virtual reality headset, it lacked the integration of a computer and image generation <ref name=”1”></ref>.

===1965 - The Ultimate Display===

Ivan Sutherland developed the concept of the “Ultimate Display”. This device could simulate the natural world so realistically that a user could not tell the difference between actual reality and virtual reality. The concept comprised of a virtual world viewed through an HMD and had augmented 3D sound and tactile feedback; computer hardware that created the virtual environment and maintained it in real time; and interactivity between users and objects from the VR world in a realistic way. Sutherland suggested that the device would serve as a “windows into a virtual world”, and his idea would become a core blueprint for the concepts that encompass current VR <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>.

===1968 - Sword of Damocles===

Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull created the Sword of Damocles, an HMD that was held by a mechanical arm mounted on a ceiling. The device was connected to a computer and displayed simple wireframe graphics to the user. The arm tracked the user’s head movements but was difficult to use. The contraption was also too heavy and bulky for comfortable use <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>.

===1969 - Artificial Reality===

Myron Kruegere developed a series of experiences called “Artificial Reality”. He developed computer-generated environments that responded to the people in it. He created several projects such as Glowflow, Metaplay, and Psychic Space leading to the development of the Videoplace technology. This enabled communication between people at a distance in a responsive computer-generated environment <ref name=”1”></ref>.

===1975 - Videoplace===

Myron Kruegere created the Videoplace, which was the first interactive VR platform. The virtual reality surrounded the user and responded to movements and actions without the use of goggles or gloves. The Videoplace was a mix of several other artificial reality systems that he had developed <ref name=”6”></ref> <ref name=”7”> Freefly VR. Time travel through virtual reality. Retrieved from https://freeflyvr.com/time-travel-through-virtual-reality/</ref>.

===1982 - Sayre gloves===

The Sayre glove was the first wired glove. It was invented by Daniel J. Sandin and Thomas Defanti from an idea by Richard Sayre. Both scientists were from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Chicago. The glove used light emitters and photocells in the fingers. When flexed, the quantity of light reaching the photocell changed, translating the finger movements into electrical signals <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1985 - NASA project===

The Virtual Environment Workstation Project at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, was founded with the purpose of producing a VR system that allowed astronauts to control robots outside a space station (Figure 4). The HMD that was developed had super-wide optics (almost an 180-degree field of view) <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1987 - The “Virtual Reality” name is coined===

Before this date, even though there had been developments in VR, there wasn’t a term to describe the field. In 1987, Jaron Lanier (founder of the Visual Programming Lab, VPL) finally coined the term “virtual reality”. Lanier, through his company, developed a range of VR gear like the Dataglove and the EyePhone headset. The company also made the first surgical simulator, the first vehicle prototyping simulator, and the first architecture simulators <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1991 - Virtuality Group===

By this time, VR devices started to be available to the public (although owning cutting-edge VR was still out of reach). The Virtuality Group launched several arcade games and machines in which players would use a set of VR goggles (Figure 5). The machines had immersive stereoscopic 3D visuals, handheld joysticks, and some unit were networked together for multiplayer gaming. There were some discussions about bringing Virtuality to Atari’s Jaguar console, but the idea was abandoned <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1993 - Sega’s virtual reality headset===

At the Consumer Electronics Show in 1993, Sega announced a virtual reality headset for the Sega Genesis console. The prototype had head tracking, stereo sound and LCD screens in the visor. The company intended to have a general release of the product but technical difficulties stopped that from happening and the headset would remain in the prototype phase <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===1995 - Nintendo Virtual Boy===

The Virtual Boy was a 3D gaming console, marketed as the first portable console that could display 3D graphics. It was released in Japan and North America, and it was a commercial failure for the Japanese company. Some of the reasons for the failure were the lack of color in graphics (only red and black), lack of software support, and difficulty in using the console in a comfortable position. Production of the console was halted in 1996 <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

===Virtual reality in the 21st century===

After 1997, the public interest in VR saw a decrease. Nevertheless, the first fifteen years of the 21st century had several advancements in the field of virtual reality. Computer technology, including small and powerful mobile technologies, increased in power while prices were getting more accessible <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”4”></ref>.

SLAM

2025-03-18T06:56:39Z

Acro:

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) is a method of inside-out 3D tracking based on optical data of an environment that does not require any additional hardware other than the device being tracked. It is similar to [[visual inertial odometry]] (VIO).

One method of SLAM is ORB_SLAM2. Another method is ORB_SLAM3. Another SLAM-like method is RTAB-Map.

The [[HoloLens|Hololens 1]] and the [[Magic Leap 1]] both use a SLAM-type system for their 3D tracking.

The [[Oculus Quest 2]] uses a tracking system that is some variant of SLAM or VIO.

Visual-inertial odometry

2025-03-18T06:56:10Z

Acro: https://www.xvrwiki.org/wiki/Visual-inertial_odometry

'''Visual inertial odometry''' is a method used in 3D tracking. It is a method by which a camera-connected computer system can use visual data from the camera to determine how the camera moves. It involves estimating the [[position]] and [[orientation]] of a moving sensor, often a camera, by combining visual data from the camera with inertial measurements from an [[inertial measurement unit]] (IMU).

It is related to [[SLAM]].

'''Oculus Insight''' is a SLAM tracking system that is used in [[Oculus Quest]] headsets and controllers.<ref>https://www.uploadvr.com/oculus-insight-details-quest/ Accessed May 16, 2024</ref> It is an untethered 6DOF tracking system. The tracking works for a headset and for wireless controllers at the same time.<ref name="g244"/>

It is also present for the [[Rift S]].<ref name="g244">{{cite web | title=Powered by AI: Oculus Insight | website=AI at Meta | date=2019-03-15 | url=https://ai.meta.com/blog/powered-by-ai-oculus-insight/ | access-date=2024-09-03}}</ref>

It was announced at [[Oculus Connect 5]].

It uses [[SLAM]], which is based on [[VIO]].<ref name="g244"/> It uses SLAM to track the headset position, and [[constellation tracking]] to track the controller positions, meaning there is no [[map sharing]].<ref name="g244"/>

A similar system is used on the [[Quest Pro]], but the controllers are self-tracking. They have cameras built in, meaning they do not use the constellation system.

The [[Oculus Rift S]] is a [[VR headset]] from [[Oculus VR]] in partnership with [[Lenovo]] to improve design and speed up manufacturing. The new design included a halo headband and fit wheel, room-scale tracking with no external sensors (which were required for the [[Rift]]), and a higher resolution compared to the Rift.<ref name="one">https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/18273152/oculus-rift-s-vr-headset-announced-pricing-release-date-features-gdc-2019</ref>

The Rift S was released at the same time as [[Oculus Quest]]. Their similarities are plentiful<ref name="one"></ref>:
* inside-out tracking: [[Oculus Insight]]
* [[Oculus Touch]] controllers
* integrated audio system
* shared gaming library

While the Rift S and Quest came with many of the same features, they differed in one significant way: the Rift S requires a PC connection, and the Quest did not. The main thing to consider when purchasing Rift S was whether you had a computer that met the recommended specs for game play and/or you wanted to/could afford to purchase a gaming computer.<ref name="one"></ref>

Other differences between Rift S and Quest included: Passthrough support and sensors. The Rift S had an enhanced version of Passthrough - Passthrough+ which supported Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW).<ref name="two">https://www.oculus.com/blog/announcing-oculus-rift-s-our-new-pc-vr-headset-launching-spring-2019/</ref> The Rift S also had a fifth sensor to support this enhanced Passthrough experience.<ref name="one"></ref>

__NOTOC__
The [[Oculus Rift S]] is a [[Discrete HMD]] built by [[Oculus VR]] in partnership with [[Lenovo]] to improve design and speed up manufacturing. The new design included a halo headband and fit wheel, room-scale tracking with no external sensors (which were required for the [[Rift]]), and a higher resolution compared to the Rift.<ref name="one">https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/18273152/oculus-rift-s-vr-headset-announced-pricing-release-date-features-gdc-2019</ref>

The Rift S was released at the same time as [[Oculus Quest]]. Their similarities were plentiful<ref name="one"></ref>:
* launch price point ($399)
* inside-out tracking: Oculus Insight
* [[Oculus Touch]] controllers
* integrated audio system
* shared gaming library

While they came with many of the same features, they differed in one significant way: the Rift S required a PC connection, the Quest did not. The main thing to consider when purchasing Rift S was whether you had a computer that met the recommended specs for game play and/or you wanted to/could afford to purchase a gaming computer.<ref name="one"></ref>

Other differences between Rift S and Quest included: Passthrough support and sensors. The Rift S had an enhanced version of Passthrough - Passthrough+ which supported Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW).<ref name="two">https://www.oculus.com/blog/announcing-oculus-rift-s-our-new-pc-vr-headset-launching-spring-2019/</ref> The Rift S also had a fifth sensor to support this enhanced Passthrough experience.<ref name="one"></ref>

==Release and Pricing==

Oculus Rift S was released on May 21, 2019 for $399. Two games were released exclusively for Rift S: Asgard's Wrath and Stormland.<ref name="three">https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/18273152/oculus-rift-s-vr-headset-announced-pricing-release-date-features-gdc-2019</ref>

==Hardware==

Field of view

2025-03-18T06:34:51Z

Acro: /* Using Subtle Dynamic FOV to Combat Simulator Sickness */

'''Field of view''' ('''FOV''') is the extent of the observable world at any given moment. Field of view is usually measured in degrees. Humans have 180 degrees FOV when looking directly in front and 270 degrees with eye rotation. The higher an [[HMD]]'s FOV is, the further the virtual world will extend to your edge of vision. You generally want an HMD with at least 90 degrees FOV.

In [[VR]], there are two types of FOVs: [[#Display FOV|Display FOV]] or dFOV and [[#Camera FOV|Camera FOV]] or cFOV.

==Display FOV==
Display FOV (dFOV) is the FOV of your [[HMD]].

Wide dFOV can increase [[immersion]] and induce [[presence]], but can cause [[simulator sickness]] for some people. Large dFOV can cause discomfort due to 2 reasons. First, humans are more sensible to the flickers and movements of images in the peripheries of their visual systems. Second, large dFOV means provides more overall visual input when compared to small dFOV. Too much visual input can cause conflicts with vestibular and proprioceptive system.<ref name="oculus_best_practices">https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/intro-vr/latest/concepts/bp_app_simulator_sickness/</ref>

==Camera FOV==
Camera FOV or cFOV is the FOV of the virtual environment rendered by the graphical engine.

Changing cFOV can lead to unnatural movement of the virtual environment in response to head movements. For example moving your head for 7 degrees in real time creates 11 degrees of movement in VR. This can lead to discomfort and a maladaptive condition called vestibular-ocular reflex gain adaptation.<ref name="oculus_best_practices">https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/intro-vr/latest/concepts/bp_app_simulator_sickness/</ref>

==Using Subtle Dynamic FOV to fight simulator sickness==
{{#ev:youtube|lHzCmfuJYa4|350|right}}
Researchers from Columbia Engineering have used to changes in FOV to combat [[simulator sickness]]. Researchers subtly decreased the users' FOV while they are moving in VR. They restored the users' FOV while they are standing still in VR. Researchers found that they were able to reduce discomfort while maintaining [[presence]]. <ref>http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=7460053</ref>

=== Controllers and Processor ===
* '''[[Controllers]]:''' The new [[Touch Plus controllers]] offer better haptics and an improved form-factor.
* '''[[Processor]]:''' The [[Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip]] provides a significant leap in graphical horsepower, with 2.6x the capability of its predecessor and 33% more CPU power.

== Software Potential ==
While the hardware of Quest 3 is commendable, its software is yet to fully leverage the headset's capabilities. The transition for developers from targeting [[Quest 2]]’s hardware to optimizing for Quest 3 will take time. The launch of the headset did not coincide with a substantial amount of content specifically enhanced for Quest 3, leading to a gap in experiencing the full potential of the hardware.

=== [[Passthrough]] and [[Mixed Reality]] ===
Quest 3's passthrough view has improved but still faces limitations, particularly in terms of motion blur and depth cues. The lack of occlusion support further detracts from the immersive experience. The mixed reality capabilities, though still in early stages, show promise with features like room scanning and the ability to suggest playspace boundaries.

== Market Position and Recommendation ==
Despite its shortcomings at launch, the Quest 3 stands out as the best standalone headset currently available. Its potential for growth and improvement, similar to the enhancements seen in Quest 2 over its lifetime, makes it a recommendable option over its predecessor. The Quest 3 is expected to significantly evolve in terms of software and mixed reality experiences within a year of its release.

The '''Meta Quest 2''' (Also known as Oculus Quest 2) is a [[virtual reality headset]] created by [[Oculus VR]]. It is a mass-market VR device that is a successor to the original [[Oculus Quest]]. Compared to the Quest 1, the Quest 2 has 50% more pixels, better battery life, faster processing, and more memory. The headset is 10% lighter, though the controllers are slightly larger. Add-ons like the [[Elite Strap]] and [[Fit Pack]] are intended to improve ergonomics for players with differently-sized facial features.<ref name=”one”>https://about.fb.com/news/2020/09/introducing-oculus-quest-2-the-next-generation-of-all-in-one-vr/</ref>

The Oculus Quest 2 is the first of the [[Oculus]] [[headsets]] to experiment with multi-user support and app sharing. You can share your apps with 3 accounts beyond your own. Each user must log in to their own [[Facebook]] account to play. App sharing is not automatically possible for all games made before this feature was deployed.<ref name=”two”>https://about.fb.com/news/2021/02/share-your-oculus-quest/</ref>
__TOC__
==Release and Pricing==
The Oculus Quest 2 started shipping in October 2020. It is available worldwide through global and regional companies. For the first time, you can purchase a Quest product from Japan, too. This will soon be the only Oculus headset available for purchase; Facebook announced they will focus on stand-alone VR headsets moving forward. Facebook will stop selling the Oculus Rift S as well as Quest in 2021 but will continue to support their platforms.<ref name=”one”></ref>

It's been noted that the distrust of Facebook's data practices could negatively impact the sale of Quest 2, now that you must log in with a Facebook account and as it becomes the sole headset available from Oculus.<ref name="four">https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2020/9/16/21437762/oculus-quest-2-review-virtual-reality-vr-facebook-oculus-power-resolution-tracking</ref>

In October of 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta, and in March of 2022, starting in Japan, Oculus Quest 2s were silently rebranded as Meta Quest 2s in their box branding along with branding on the hardware itself. Oculus branded Quests have no difference to Meta branded Quests other than the branding itself.

==Hardware==
The Oculus Quest 2 comes with a wireless HMD, built-in speakers, two Touch controllers, USB-C charging cable, power adapter, and spacer for glasses. Depending on the version you purchase, you can store 64 GB or 256 GB on your device. The Quest 2 uses the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ XR2 Platform which enables a more expansive virtual world along with high-fidelity sound. The Touch controllers may last up to 4 times the battery life of the previous generation.<ref name=”one”></ref> <ref name="three">https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/</ref>

The Oculus Quest 2 comes with a head strap, softer than the plastic band of the Quest. This makes the headset more comfortable.<ref name="four"></ref>

It comes with 4 cameras, like the Quest, as well as comparable hand-tracking capabilities.<ref name="six">https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-quest-2-review-better-in-almost-every-way/2/</ref>

==System Requirements==
While Quest 2 is an [[integrated HMD]], it can also run as a [[discrete HMD]] by connecting to a PC with a [[Oculus Link]]. By connecting to the PC, you'll be able to play games from [[Oculus PC]] or [[SteamVR]]. Your PC needs to meet certain requirements in order for the Oculus Link to work.

The Elite Strap can even withstand a more passionate playing session.<ref name="four"></ref>

===Logitech Headphones===
Facebook partnered with Logitech to make headphones better suited for VR, an alternative to the Oculus Quest 2's built-in speakers. Logitech produced two models with shorter auxiliary cables for a less clunky play, compared to standard headsets. One model is Logitech G333 VR In-Ear Headphones, and the other is Logitech G PRO VR, over-ear headphones.<ref name="five"></ref>

===Oculus Link===
No longer in beta, the [[Oculus Link]] enables you to connect the Quest 2 to your PC to stream VR games.

First, humans are more sensible to the flickers and movements of images in the peripheries of their visual systems. Second, large dFOV means provides more overall visual input when compared to small dFOV. Too much visual input can cause conflicts with vestibular and proprioceptive system.<ref name="oculus_best_practices">https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/intro-vr/latest/concepts/bp_app_simulator_sickness/</ref>

==Camera FOV==
Camera FOV or cFOV is the FOV of the virtual environment rendered by the graphical engine.

Changing cFOV can lead to unnatural movement of the virtual environment in response to head movements. For example moving your head for 7 degrees in real time creates 11 degrees of movement in VR. This can lead to discomfort and a maladaptive condition called vestibular-ocular reflex gain adaptation.<ref name="oculus_best_practices">https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/intro-vr/latest/concepts/bp_app_simulator_sickness/</ref>

Field of view

2025-03-18T06:26:37Z

Acro:

'''Field of view''' ('''FOV''') is the extent of observable world at any given moment. Field of view is usually measured in degrees. Humans have 180 degrees FOV when looking directly in front and 270 degrees with eye rotation. The higher an [[HMD]]'s FOV is, the further the virtual world will extend to your edge of vision. You generally want an HMD with at least 90 degrees FOV.

In [[VR]], there are two types of FOVs: [[#Display FOV|Display FOV]] or dFOV and [[#Camera FOV|Camera FOV]] or cFOV.

==Display FOV==
Display FOV or dFOV is the FOV of your [[HMD]].

__NOTOC__
The [[Oculus Rift S]] is a [[Discrete HMD]] built by [[Oculus VR]] in partnership with [[Lenovo]] to improve design and speed up manufacturing. The new design included a halo headband and fit wheel, room-scale tracking with no external sensors (which were required for the [[Rift]]), and a higher resolution compared to the Rift.<ref name="one">https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/18273152/oculus-rift-s-vr-headset-announced-pricing-release-date-features-gdc-2019</ref>

The Rift S was released at the same time as [[Oculus Quest]]. Their similarities were plentiful<ref name="one"></ref>:
* launch price point ($399)
* inside-out tracking: Oculus Insight
* [[Oculus Touch]] controllers
* integrated audio system
* shared gaming library

While they came with many of the same features, they differed in one significant way: the Rift S required a PC connection, the Quest did not. The main thing to consider when purchasing Rift S was whether you had a computer that met the recommended specs for game play and/or you wanted to/could afford to purchase a gaming computer.<ref name="one"></ref>

Other differences between Rift S and Quest included: Passthrough support and sensors. The Rift S had an enhanced version of Passthrough - Passthrough+ which supported Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW).<ref name="two">https://www.oculus.com/blog/announcing-oculus-rift-s-our-new-pc-vr-headset-launching-spring-2019/</ref> The Rift S also had a fifth sensor to support this enhanced Passthrough experience.<ref name="one"></ref>

Inside-out tracking

2024-10-05T12:34:43Z

Acro: /* Devices using Inside-out tracking */

{{see also|Markerless inside-out tracking‎|Positional tracking}}
[[File:F2Ak4iE.jpg|thumbnail|Figure 2. Early [[Lighthouse]] prototype, an inside-out tracking system with 2-dimensional barcodes as [[fiducial markers]].]]
[[File:Acer mixed reality headset inside-out.png|thumb|Figure 3. Inside-out tracking HMD (image: www.wareable.com)]]
'''Inside-out tracking''' is a method of [[positional tracking]] commonly used in [[virtual reality]] (VR) technologies, specifically for tracking the position of [[head-mounted display|head-mounted displays]] (HMDs) and motion controller accessories.

It is egocentric. It usually involves [[SLAM]] or [[VIO]] for markerless tracking.<ref name="m249">{{cite web | title=Inside-out tracking | website=XVRWiki | date=2024-09-30 | url=https://www.xvrwiki.org/wiki/Inside-out_tracking | access-date=2024-10-05}}</ref>

It differentiates itself from [[outside-in tracking]] by the location of the cameras or other sensors that are used to determine the object’s position in space (Figure 1). In inside-out positional tracking, the camera or sensors are located on the device being tracked (e.g. HMD) while in outside-in the sensors are placed in a stationary location. <ref name=”1”> Ribo, M., Pinz, A. and Fuhrmann, A.L. (2001). A new optical tracking system for virtual and augmented reality applications. Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings</ref> <ref name=”2”> Boger, Y. (2014). Positional tracking: "Outside-in" vs. "Inside-out.” Retrieved from http://vrguy.blogspot.pt/2014/08/positional-tracking-outside-in-vs.html</ref> <ref name=”3”> Ishii, K. (2010). Augmented Reality: Fundamentals and nuclear related applications. Nuclear Safety and Simulation, 1(1)</ref>
__NOTOC__
A VR device using inside-out tracking looks out to determine how its position changes in relation to the environment. When the headset moves, the sensors readjusts its place in the room and the virtual environment responds accordingly in real time. This type of positional tracking can be achieved with or without markers placed in the environment. The latter is called [[markerless inside-out tracking]]. <ref name=”4”> Langley, H. (2017). Inside-out v Outside-in: How VR tracking works, and how it's going to change. Retrieved from https://www.wareable.com/vr/inside-out-vs-outside-in-vr-tracking-343</ref>

The cameras (or any other optical sensors) that are placed on the HMD observe features of the surrounding environment. When using markers, these are designed to be easily detected by the tracking system and placed in a specific area. These [[fiducial markers]] include primitive shapes like points, squares, and circles (Figure 2). QR codes are an example of positional markers that can be placed in the outside world to serve as reference points for the tracking camera. Inside-out positional tracking can also be achieved using infra-red (IR) markers and a camera that is sensitive to this type of light. In case of using markers, the inside-out system works only as long as it can detect the markers. If these are out of its field of view, positional tracking will be affected. <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”> Mehling, M. (2006).

With markerless inside-out tracking - a method based on natural features - uses distinctive characteristics that originally exist in the environment to determine position and orientation. The system’s algorithms identify specific images or shapes and uses them to calculate the device’s position in space. Data from accelerometers and gyroscopes can also be used to increase the precision of positional tracking. <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”6”> Boger, Y. (2014).

'''Inside-out tracking''' is a method of [[positional tracking]] commonly used in [[virtual reality]] (VR) technologies, specifically for tracking the position of [[head-mounted display|head-mounted displays]] (HMDs) and motion controller accessories. It differentiates itself from [[outside-in tracking]] by the location of the cameras or other sensors that are used to determine the object’s position in space (Figure 1). In inside-out positional tracking, the camera or sensors are located on the device being tracked (e.g. HMD) while in outside-in the sensors are placed in a stationary location. <ref name=”1”> Ribo, M., Pinz, A. and Fuhrmann, A.L.

__NOTOC__
A VR device using inside-out tracking looks out to determine how its position changes in relation to the environment. When the headset moves, the sensors readjusts its place in the room and the virtual environment responds accordingly in real time. This type of positional tracking can be achieved with or without markers placed in the environment. The latter is called [[markerless inside-out tracking]]. <ref name=”4”> Langley, H. (2017).

The cameras (or any other optical sensors) that are placed on the HMD observe features of the surrounding environment. When using markers, these are designed to be easily detected by the tracking system and placed in a specific area. These [[fiducial markers]] include primitive shapes like points, squares, and circles (Figure 2). QR codes are an example of positional markers that can be placed in the outside world to serve as reference points for the tracking camera. Inside-out positional tracking can also be achieved using infra-red (IR) markers and a camera that is sensitive to this type of light. In case of using markers, the inside-out system works only as long as it can detect the markers. If these are out of its field of view, positional tracking will be affected. <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”> Mehling, M. (2006).

With markerless inside-out tracking - a method based on natural features - uses distinctive characteristics that originally exist in the environment to determine position and orientation. The system’s algorithms identify specific images or shapes and uses them to calculate the device’s position in space. Data from accelerometers and gyroscopes can also be used to increase the precision of positional tracking. <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”6”> Boger, Y. (2014).

The '''Apple Vision Pro''' is a headset with [[virtual reality]] ([[VR]]) and [[augmented reality]] ([[AR]]) capabilities released by [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]. It was announced in June of 2023 and went on sale in early 2024.

As of 2022, it had been rumored and seemed probable that it would be revealed in 2023 <ref name=”1”> Rice-Jones, J (2022). Apple VR headset: release date, features, and price. ''KnowTechie''. https://knowtechie.com/apple-vr-headset-release-date-features-and-price/</ref> <ref name=”2”> MacRumours Staff (2022). Apple Glasses. ''MacRumors''. https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-glasses/</ref>. The [[mixed reality]] ([[MR]]) headset is expected to be in line with current [[VR headsets]] albeit with several cameras and sensors that provide bonus functionality. According to Bloomberg, several names have been suggested for this new headset such as Reality One, Reality Pro, and Reality Processor. These trademarked names might not apply to the final product but they have, nevertheless, been giving way to speculation about different [[VR]] and [[AR]] device models <ref name=”3”> Pritchard, T (2022). Apple VR/AR headset - everything we know so far. ''Tom's Guide''. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-vr-and-mixed-reality-headset-release-date-price-specs-and-leaks</ref>.

One of those other related products could be what has been called the [[Apple Glass]], see-through lenses that will provide a fully AR experience. According to the available information, they would be a lightweight pair of glasses able to project imagery and information onto the real world <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has mentioned that AR has more potential than VR on the long-term. This product, however, is expected to become reality after Apple’s VR/AR headset since current VR technology is more mature and easier to produce <ref name=”4”> Apple Insider. Apple VR. ''Apple Insider''. https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-vr</ref>. The name Apple Glass most likely won’t be used for the final product due to its association with [[Google Glass]]. A possible release date for this device in 2025 has been rumored <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”5”> Blake, A (2022). Apple mixed-reality headset: Everything we know about Apple's VR headset. ''Digital Trends''. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/apple-mixed-reality-headset-rumors-news-price-release-date/</ref>.

Apparently, the intent of Apple’s headset is for short trips into VR, with users being able to use the headset for communication and viewing content and gaming but not as a constant all-immersive experience <ref name=”3”></ref>. The headset will have as its main feature mixed reality, including several external cameras to provide features like hand-tracking and gesture control. Some reports claim that games are not a priority for Apple’s VR/AR headset <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

After the release of Apple’s first headset, a cheaper version is expected to be launched, with less features than the premium model. If true, Apple would have two headsets with different price points focused on mixed reality and the Apple lenses for augmented reality. This line of products could be a game-changer for the headset industry, inspiring a new wave of demands and products on the VR and AR space <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref>.

==Release date and price==

While, initially, some were expecting the headset’s reveal and release date information during Apple’s 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), such did not occur. Nevertheless, references to a headset on the beta versions of iOS 16 indicate that a release date is not far away <ref name=”5”></ref>.

All information available hints that 2023 should be the release year for Apple’s new device, with some suggesting January for the announcement and the product launch during the second quarter of 2023 <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref> <ref name=”6”> Priday, R (2022). Apple VR/AR headset, 15-inch Macbook Air, HomePod 2 and more could arrive in 2023. ''Tom's Guide''. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-vrar-headset-15-inch-macbook-air-homepod-2-and-more-could-arrive-in-2023</ref>.

Several price points have been proposed, from $2000 to $3000, seemingly indicating that the first-generation model will be a product aimed at industry use <ref name=”5”></ref> <ref name=”7”> McMillan, M (2022). Apple AR-VR headset just tipped for January launch - and it could be $2,000. ''Tom's Guide''. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-arvr-headset-just-tipped-for-january-launch-and-it-could-be-dollar2000</ref>.

==Design and specifications==
Since it is expected that it will be a mixed reality headset, combining VR and AR, the proposed designs are of a full wraparound set using straps that look similar to those on the Apple Watch Sport Band (figures 1 and 2). Also, different weights have been suggested for the headset going from as little as 150 grams (0.33 pounds) to between 300 and 400 grams (0.66 - 0.88 pounds). It has also been rumored that it will be a wireless device, giving the user complete freedom to move around without being disturbed by cables <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

To achieve the augmented reality side of the dual nature headset, cameras will be needed to capture the outside world and feed it back to the user. Reports have given a number of up to 12 cameras and lidar sensors mounted on the device. However, this number as changed to 14 and then 15 cameras as new reports and information have been made available <ref name=”1”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>. According to Digital Trends, from the 15 cameras, 8 would be for AR, “one for environmental detection, and six for ‘innovative biometrics' <ref name=”5”></ref>.”

===Resolution===
The headset’s front panels will be micro-LED <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

===Prescription lenses===

A feature that has been speculated about is to allow users to order custom prescription lenses that could be inserted into the headset. This could be related to a trademarked name by Apple, “Optica” <ref name=”4”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

===Refresh rate and chipset===

There hasn’t been a lot of information about the refresh rate that will be used. Normally, VR headsets aim for 90 Hz or higher in order to minimize lag and motion sickness <ref name=”5”></ref>.

Regarding the chip that powers the headset, it is expected to be a custom-designed Apple Silicon chip and one of the most advanced and powerful processors. This would be the new M2 chip with 16 GB of RAM. The power would be balanced by the efficiency of Apple’s ARM-based chip architecture which is ideal for compact devices, reducing or nullifying the need for cooling <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

Digital Trends and The Information have both reported an alternative to the single M2 chip: two chips on the headset with one offering the main computing power and the other managing the device’s sensors <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”6”></ref>.

As a power source, Apple’s 96 W adapters will probably be used <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

===Wi-Fi===

The VR/AR headset is expected to have Wi-Fi 6E instead of the Wi-Fi 6 of the iPhone 13. This would allow for lower latency and transferring large amounts of data. It could also mean that the processing hard-work could be done with a connection to a separate device (Mac or iPhone) without the need for a physical cable <ref name=”3”></ref> <ref name=”5”></ref>.

===Hand-tracking===

[[File:Apple watch VR.png|thumb|Figure 3. Apple VR patent showing hand-tracking with two Apple watches. Source: Digital Trends.]]

Different approaches to the hand-tracking system of the headset have been rumored based on patents submitted by Apple. One of such could be a “clothespin-like finger clip” that would serve as the input device. Based on patents, finger-mounted devices could detect movement and provide haptic feedback. Another possibility would be using a pair of Apple Watches, allowing the user to interact with the virtual world using gesture controls (figure 3). However, this tracking system is not likely to be implemented first since Apple watches have a high cost <ref name=”5”></ref>. Other patents mention the use of smart rings to track the movements of the fingers and hands and the ability to detect objects that the user is holding, like an Apple Pencil <ref name=”3”></ref>.

===Operating system===

The operating system for the device seems to be internally called by Apple as [[visionOS]] (extended reality OS). While not much information has been released, rumours suggest that it will include new versions of core apps from the company.
