Just three years ago, in 2016 at the MWC or “Mobile World Congress,” thousands of the world's most influential tech journalists wore Samsung's Gear VR goggles for a visual presentation that astonished the attendees. It was expected that this technology would spread widely and be fully supported by smartphones. Why did we not see any progress mentioned in this technology, as if it were fighting for its survival?
After journalists finished watching the video wearing virtual reality glasses, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on stage and began promoting this technology and its presence on smartphones. And it seemed to us after this conference that we would see everyone walking around the streets wearing virtual reality glasses powered by their phones.
But in fact, within the past three years most of us have forgotten that technology and it seemed to be dying and starting to fade before it even existed.
There is no doubt that virtual reality technology has many advantages, especially when it is supported by serious developers who provide impressive experiences. Such as in the HTC Vive devices that were revealed during the World Conference on Phones in 2015, and this device since its announcement has won 22 awards at the Consumer Electronics Show.
So is PlayStation VR.
And these devices people actually enjoy using in real life. Games based on virtual reality also have a place. Comparing these devices with the Samsung Gear VR for augmented reality on phones, it turns out that the Samsung device is almost actually dead.
The reason for this is not to provide good content that may attract the attention of users, but the opposite happened, as users turned their appearance to those devices and therefore poor content.
So why did virtual reality for phones fail in the first place?
With the spread of the Samsung Gear VRs due to its affordable price in the first place, Google and Facebook were also present with "Oculus devices from Facebook and many Google devices", but in the end, the matter lacked something important, which is applications and games strong enough to attract users.
What about AR games?
Like it or not, games are the most lucrative category. This is what drives the majority of users to enter and roam the application stores, and as a result, developers offer constantly evolving games. And no augmented reality games have gotten such attention. Only my game appeared in this regard Fortnite Or Pokemon Go The stars of those games have eluded. We have no longer seen real AR games that capture user interest. Even if there are some good games available, they do not match the games that are played without movement. This is other than the difficulty of playing these games in public places or on transportation.
Does Apple have a different opinion?
Apple has greatly supported the augmented reality technology in iOS, and has developed the ARKit library for that technology. But recently Apple has been accused of not offering anything new about this technology yet. However, Apple is believed to be planning something big in the field of augmented reality technology. The news has reported that Apple has secretly met with glass makers for augmented reality glasses during the CES 2019 conference between January 8 and 11, and at the head of those companies DigiLens, Vuzix and Lumus are among the biggest names in this field. This changed hints over the past years that Apple was working on a product that fits that description, from registering multiple patents related to that technology. And last year, Apple bought Arkonia Holographics, a startup that is developing headphone lenses for AR.
As usual, there has been no official information available about Apple's AR glasses, given the complexity of the project, it is unlikely that we will see its appearance in the next two years.

I tried to use Google virtual reality glasses and before them glasses from unknown companies in order to identify this product that is often talked about, and all that happened was the first moments of awe when I saw the view of the tall mountains while I was on top and the truth of something beautiful, but what then? Nothing, you are forced to adhere to placing the device on your head in an annoying manner, especially if the time of use is prolonged, and it is also difficult to take these glasses with you wherever you go. Also, these glasses may be good for games only, and even in this area I find them boring and impractical, and finally I no longer use reality glasses. The default
Good words: Yes, I think it is dying, as the VR technology has not achieved the success and spread that its providers aspire to due to the way it is used that completely isolates you from the real surroundings in addition to the headache and troubles it causes to the eyes and the limited areas that can be used through this technology, which is limited to Games and some simple programs.
The best and most suitable alternative is AR technology, augmented reality, as it works to connect your device to the real environment beautifully and practically unlike VR technology, as it does not cause headache or any damage to the eyes in addition to the large amount of services and wide areas of functions that can be used and developed by Augmented Reality technology, which makes the future and the opportunity for promotion of augmented reality technology much greater, and as we noticed Apple's interest in this technology recently and its inclusion in its modern phones, and its applications store made available many applications and games that use augmented reality. Thank you for the useful topic.
For two days, I have arranged the favorite numbers in relation to importance ... and the widget rides them on his own pleasure
My sister Nour does not understand, I would like to clarify more so that we can solve your problem
Preach
List of favorite numbers in the calls application
When editing the list, you can sort the registered numbers as favorites, right?
I arrange the numbers myself from top to bottom according to the importance of the number to me
After you click Done .. the menu order changes
As well as in the widget dedicated to favorites
Note: The system is updated to the latest version + it is true that the problem is trivial and small but provocative :)
thank you brother
👍
I tried arranging the calls application numbers and added it to the widget
And save the arrangement after clicking on Done
I wish you could explain the method for everyone to benefit from it
Mashallah beautiful, he will keep you arranged
Do you mean to explain how to add the favorite numbers widget?
Preach
.
1: - Add important numbers to favorites, you can add a lot of numbers, but in the widget only the first 8 numbers will appear from the list because it does not accommodate more than that.
.
2. Arrange the eight important numbers and place them at the top of the list. It is important to put the most important 4 numbers out of the eight numbers at the top of the list so that they appear in the widget if it is set to small size.
.
3: - Go to the widget page and click (Edit) to be able to add a new widget to it, add the (favorite) widget and arrange its appearance among the rest of the tools, preferably at the top because of its importance.
My sister Nour, I have used favorites for important numbers for a long time and I do not change the order. It is strange what happens to you, the truth, and I do not know the cause and solution, but are all the names in your favorites are in Arabic? This may be a reason if all of them are in one language, meaning that it may be a system error and needs an update to fix it
Yes, the names were in Arabic
But now I changed it to English to try.
Unfortunately, there is no benefit, as the problem is not over.
It's okay brother, I'm used to endless Apple problems مشاكل
Thank you, brother Majid
Good words, there is nothing exciting. Or in the correct sense, it is exciting for some time only, and then we will soon get tired of it. This is clear as mentioned in the article. Thank you, an article about something that we missed and forgot.
Virtual reality technology and glasses manufacturing is a crime against eye health 👀
Impossible to wear it is enough for the iPhone screen day and night I lay my eyes on it 👀
I love telling about this technology, although I do not prefer to use its applications now
Wait a lot for Apple glasses
Having the glasses will help me use both hands together, and this will be great when playing games, and it will expand the extent of my vision of my surroundings and my surroundings, and this is better than seeing inside the phone screen only
I am also sure that Apple is interested in this technology and will not let it die and be forgotten.
Thank you very much
The virtual reality glasses have not been spread
Because people usually tend to
Simple and free ideas and features
It is easy to use and does not change
From his way of life and appearance, but it is there
For professionals, designers and geeks
Technology in general
As for augmented reality, it is present on our phones
Especially in the iPhone, as well as with the processor
There are applications that take advantage of it:
The measuring app is integrated with the ios12 system
It gives the measurement of height at a distance and at once
Move the phone in a certain position
IKEA Palace app to experience the mode of IKEA furniture
In your home, and if you like it, you may decide to buy it
Stack ar
Arise game
Flat pack game
Augmented reality technology is very cool, but I think it is impractical, especially in games that need movement, you must be in certain places in order to benefit from it and in my opinion this is the reason for not fully supporting it because it is not practical like other applications
Thank you
Does anyone know if there is VR glasses available for iPhone 8 Plus? From Apple, I did not find glasses like this. Thank you
Although there are some uses for it, most often it is a gimmick that you show to your friend inaccurate and forget it. Neither the phone is suitable for her, nor the applications are so important that she changes the way the phone is used for her. Just how many games she dazzles at first to leave the rest of the time. Unfortunately, Apple in its processor and even Qualcomm became more interested in it than before, and thus it is just a lost specification for the user.
Just a technical adventure ...
If they care about holograms, it's better because we don't need those helmets and glasses, and best of all, it mimics reality perfectly.
A technique to enjoy it for several minutes and then park it in the dust ... This is not comfortable on the head and causes a headache
