1.Niantic Brings Its Real-World Metaverse To Browsers

With the release of Lightship VPS for Web, Niantic is offering the web an even more powerful platform for augmented reality. This ground-breaking browser-based technology will link the physical and virtual worlds by anchoring Web AR (browser-based augmented reality) information to specific places and allowing virtual items to interact with the physical environment.

Lightship VPS for Web will revolutionise the world around you by offering personalised and engaging augmented reality experiences. These reality-altering applications may turn ordinary places into spectacular virtual experiences. You’ll be able to interact with the world around you in whole new ways after you’ve unlocked the digital counterpart of your surroundings. This may be accomplished by using the traffic provided by the platform’s visual location services.

Niantic CEO John Hanke stated in an official press release, “At Niantic, we believe that the real-world metaverse should engage people exploring and connecting with the world around them.” “Bringing Lightship VPS to the Web is a crucial step forward for AR, allowing developers to realistically fuse digital material to the actual environment with accuracy and permanence,” he says.

Developers that wish to develop augmented reality experiences based on real-world locales must first understand what their consumers are looking at. Creators can now produce immersive experiences that are both personal and permanent with the Lightship VPS by anchoring content to particular spots across the world using the company’s AR map.

Developers will be able to construct and maintain their own location-based web AR experiences using the Lightship Virtual Environments. They may also remotely mimic their experiences by utilising the Geo Browser on the 8th Wall platform.

Before Lightship Virtual Environments was officially released, a number of 8th Wall developers were allowed to beta test the programme by constructing their own location- based web AR experiences. These experiences have been displayed in cities all around the world, including London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, and Sydney.

3. Meta Quest 3 Leak Suggests Cheaper Consumer Device to Soon Follow Quest Pro

Brad Lynch (aka ‘SadlyItsBradley’) has been a major factor behind many of the previous Quest Pro leaks, and now Lynch has disclosed in a new video what he thinks to be CAD data

page2image29590128 page2image29591168

connected to a ‘lower-end’ consumer headset that follows in the footsteps of Quest 2, purportedly dubbed Quest 3.

Lynch claims that the item in issue is called ‘Stinson,’ and that it will be released in 2023. Furthermore, he claims that the headset will be a step forward from the Quest 2 and the impending Quest Pro, with the latter focusing more on augmented reality duties owing to the inclusion of a colour passthrough camera and depth sensor.

Here’s a quick rundown of Lynch’s main points:

    1. Soft strap like Quest 2 and no back-mounted battery

    2. 2 cameras for 6DOF tracking

    3. 4-camera array: 2 BW + 2 RGB

    4. Depth sensor

    5. 2 LCD displays

    6. mechanical IPD adjustments

    7. Pancake lenses

    8. No eye or face tracking

    9. Single fan design

    10. Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 (second gen) SoC

    11. Pogo pin connector for dock charging

The headset is expected to be a lower-cost, consumer-oriented gadget that will be released after Quest Pro. Assuming the leak is genuine and represents a near-final product, it actually makes a lot of sense given that Meta may use its $800+ Quest Pro as a sort of high-end developer kit to kick off the development of a new rash of mixed reality games and experiences, with the end goal of capitalising on that new influx of content with a more commercially accessible product.
