Everyone probably thinks their category is unique. The aftermarket car-audio category has some unique attributes. We compete against our fellow category occupants - our direct competitors - for placement in the indirect distribution channel - installation shops. We compete against the OEM suppliers who create barriers for their consumers to inhibit aftermarket upgrades. We compete against old, established tech, to help our channel see the benefits of using new technology, and to use this new technology efficiently and profitably. Finally, we compete for the consumer dollar with technologies - from gaming to mobile phones, from home theater to VR/AR - which have arisen since our category was born. Keep developing skills and understanding. The only way out is through.

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗫𝗥 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵? 🚀 Ahead of Google I/O 2024, rumours are circulating that Google might reveal 'Android XR', a new operating system that will power Samsung's upcoming Mixed Reality headset. Why the speculation (and excitement)? ⌛ Timing. With a Google-Samsung Mixed Reality headset dubbed set for release in late 2024-early 2025, the conference on 14th May could be the ideal stage to unveil Android XR. This would also allow for the early development of applications ahead of the device's release - similar to what we saw with Apple Vision Pro. 🌐 Growing Ecosystem. The collaborations between Google, Samsung, and Qualcomm shows a shared commitment between some of the biggest players in tech to build a future that leverages immersive technology. Qualcomm's recently released Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset is also expected to be used in the new device. Its improved performance could allow for some incredible immersive experiences. 📈 Potential. Android XR could further add to the rapidly evolving field of Mixed Reality, which is all about the seamless integration of hardware and software, creating a blend between the physical and digital worlds. However, amidst the buzz around Android XR, some expect that any XR-related announcement at I/O 2024 could be more about advancements in ARCore or other existing AR features already integrated into Google's suite of applications. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out come May! #XR #Google #IO2024 #AndroidXR

The cameras on your next AirPods aren't for taking ear selfies Apple could incorporate IR cameras into its wireless earbuds to enable more immersive spatial experiences.   AirPods could feature IR cameras by 2026, unlocking a new set of Apple ecosystem perks when paired with a compatible device. The upcoming IR cameras could support in-air gesture controls and enhance the spatial audio/computing experiences. Foxconn could provide 18-20 million IR cameras per year, allowing Apple to produce up to 10 million AirPods units during 2026.   ·       Beyond spatial improvements, the IR cameras could unlock in-air gesture controls. This would presumably allow users to control media playback without touching their AirPods. Apple has already filed relevant patents for such functionality, so the feature’s introduction is plausible.

We started Capsule Critters as a small R&D exercise to explore building a game for Vision Pro. We focused on simple gameplay that could be played alongside other applications, leveraging the AVP's strength as a multitasking device. I firmly believe that starting with a small, time-boxed prototype is the best approach when exploring a new platform, feature, or ecosystem. Before we pitched a project as large as Mythic Realms, we built over 10 smaller XR demos and worked on various client engagements of different scopes. Regardless of a team's seniority or experience with other ecosystems, when it comes to something new, I believe you need to start small and scale up. Even though we had extensive XR experience by the time we began Capsule Critters, AVP was still uncharted territory for us. You can always expand or port the game later, but many of those opportunities won't arise until it's out in the world. Also, please go check out Capsule Critters! :) You can find it in any of these fine places: Meta: https://lnkd.in/gbsMMBHS Pico: https://lnkd.in/gv5QtC4C Vive: https://lnkd.in/g9b9FvDH AVP: https://lnkd.in/g6UXcFW8

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲! .... "𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗥" 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗫𝗥 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀. 🥽 A few clicks, clips and articles are starting to come out about a new player in the XR market called "Play for Dream MR". I obviously haven't got my hands on one yet for a proper review and whilst on paper the tech specs look promising, especially for the fact it's loaded with an official  Qualcomm XR2+ Gen 2 chipset and a host of other high end stats, is "Play for Dream MR" one to keep an eye on? IMO Tech specs aren't everything, we also need to think about the OS, ecosystem and the lifecycle. Apparently it's going to be running their own flavour of Android 13 ... ok cool, but what about a supported store for apps, do we just side load? And ... is this just a consumer device, Pro-sumer? ... Enterprise / MDM supported? Play For Dream MR is poised for launch in China in the near future, followed by Singapore and Malaysia in October. The device is also slated to hit the markets in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Japan in 2025. Its pricing is expected to be competitive, at under USD $2000 equivalent in local currencies. Fun times in the XR space ... but in the mean time, I welcome Play for Dream MR. 👍 #MR #XR #VR #PlayForDreamR
