This is very interesting. Imagine an AR virtual assistant with the power of a mental health AI app.

It seems amazing that after nearly 5 years there isn't another AR game like Fragments.
This should absolutely be the future of gaming (or at least a whole genre of gaming).
Has Microsoft completely given up on the whole AR race? Bearing in mind where Hololens was in 2016, it's bizarre that they aren't further towards small form AR glasses nearly 5 years later.
Why is there still not a simple reading app for VR?
Netflix, YouTube, Prime have an app on just about everything, yet Kindle... nothing.
Everyone: I wonder if Apple will have a 'One more thing...?'
Apple: When are people going to comprehend we're never doing that again? How many continuous years of not doing it will make that clear?

Classic puzzle title Myst is returning, coming to the Oculus Quest platform this year - bit.ly/35GxXiu
Seems like that Apple 'one more thing' is never happening again, no matter how much everyone hopes it is every time they hold an event.
Oculus: "That thing we said we were never going to do and you've told us repeatedly you don't want us to do... well we're going to do it. And we're going to pretend we are doing it for you."
Today, we’re announcing some important updates to how people log into Oculus devices, while still keeping their VR profile. Starting in October 2020, everyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need to log in with a Facebook account. // ocul.us/updates
This is a simply idiotic decision by Facebook. For many people it is a toxic brand which they dont wish to use. We know Oculus is owned by them but the perceived seperation has made it just about tolerable for those who want to use their VR headsets. This step will alienate many.
Facebook forcing VR users to use a verifiable real identity is not likely going to be a popular decision within the VR community.

Well here's some absolutely dreadful news for all the people who like VR but Don't Want A Sodding Facebook Account.
Facebook is going to start requiring a Facebook account in order to use their VR headsets. They're sunsetting separate Oculus accounts in 2023, & new users will have to use their Facebook account starting in October 2020.
New privacy policy coming in Oct.
