Since the start of 2024, the subject of mixed reality headsets has been on the rise. While until now, Apple had accustomed us to being the only company to raise the subject, other brands now seem to want to offer one.
The apple firm hasrecently announced an official release date for its mixed reality headset. It was planned thatits first competitor will be revealed on Monday January 8, and it is now done. It is moreoverSaid Bakadir, the boss ofQualcomm, who revealed that this announcement would be made on January 8, but he did not specify which brand it was. We now know why he withheld the name of the company.
Sony announces its new headset
During CES 2024,Sonyannounced its first ever mixed reality headset. Here are its characteristics:“In addition to video transparency and spatial recognition functionality with six cameras and sensors in total, the system includes a ring controller that allows users to intuitively manipulate objects in virtual space, as well as a pointing controller that enables precise pointing, allowing creators to create in a virtual space with controllers and keyboards, while wearing the head-mounted display ». The Japanese company also adds that“Creators will not only be able to view full-scale 3D models in an extended reality (XR) environment with the high-definition display, but also create and edit 3D models there”.Sonyhas not yet given a name to his helmet.
We know why the boss of Qualcomm did not cite Sony
As said above, whenSaid Bakadir, the boss ofQualcomm, mentioned the first competitor of the Vision Pro, he did not citeSony. And for good reason, it is quite simply its competitor. His point was that the announcement was going to be made by“an unknown brand”.
The reason is thatQualcommrecently presented its chipSnapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, which is intended to equip competitors with the Vision Pro, and she cited 4 brands with which she has partnered in order to achieve this objective. Among them,Samsung,HTC VIVE,ImmersedetPlay For Dreambut not Sony, because the latter does not use the Qualcomm chip, but has partnered withSiemens Xcelerator.
