Google reportedly approached Meta to partner on its upcoming XR platform, Android XR, but Meta declined, citing restrictive terms that would limit its freedom to innovate. Meta's existing Quest operating system is based on the open-source core of Android, and the company has recently announced a strategic collaboration with LG for future XR devices. While both Google and Meta are vying to entice hardware companies to adopt their platforms, the potential partnership could create a formidable force against Apple's Vision headsets, but concerns remain about business details and decision-making given Google's track record with platforms like Daydream and Stadia.
Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) are advancing rapidly, with devices like Meta's Quest series and the upcoming Apple Vision Pro leading the charge. These technologies are expanding beyond gaming and fitness into everyday applications, potentially leading to mass adoption. Apple's Vision Pro, priced at $3,500, is expected to redefine VR/AR devices with its high-fidelity visuals and hand and eye tracking. Meanwhile, Meta's Quest 3 offers mixed reality experiences for $500. The integration of AI into VR and AR devices is also anticipated, enhancing their capabilities. However, everyday AR glasses still face challenges in terms of prescription integration, social acceptance, and battery life. The industry is poised for a new wave of app development, with companies like Google and Samsung entering the fray, which could lead to a surge in VR/AR popularity and utility.
