 <p>In December 2024, Microsoft plans to launch a public preview of Windows 11 capabilities on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S virtual reality (VR) headsets. The service will be accessible via a local PC or a cloud instance on Windows 365. This integration enables users to quickly establish a connection with Windows and promises to provide a VR experience akin to a multi-monitor workstation.</p>

<p>One of the features within this system is 'Volumetric Apps'. This allows Windows applications to be extended into a three-dimensional space, facilitating user interaction with and manipulation of 3D objects using hand gestures. Additionally, Microsoft is providing developers with access to an API designed to facilitate the building of plugins for new or pre-existing 3D Windows desktop applications.</p>


</div> <p><b>Analyst QuickTake:<br>
</b> While Microsoft has signaled its exit from the hardware space following last month's announcement of the <a href="https:<br>
//sp-edge.com/updates/34228"> discontinuation of its HoloLens 2 headset </a> , it is likely to remain active in the VR space. The company may explore future releases of its software and other services in partnership with other hardware developers, including Meta and Apple.</p>

 <p>Amazon is reportedly in the process of creating AR smart glasses, known as Amelia, which are intended for use by their delivery drive pool. These glasses aim to enhance the final 100 yards of a delivery.</p>
 <p>Amelia comes equipped with a compact AR display providing navigational directions, a camera facing outwards for package confirmation, Alexa voice commands, and an incorporated AI chatbot. The AR technology is used to create visual guidance to drivers towards buildings and also identify potential hindrances.</p>
 <p>The enterprise asserts that the AR smart glasses will allow for hands-free use, thus reducing the reliance on handheld GPS devices, and enabling drivers to carry additional packages due to the visual guidance offered.</p>
 <p>Despite this, Amazon is aware of potential issues that may cause delay or termination of the project. These would include problems related to the battery, the weight of the device, visually distracting the user, or issues regarding the integration of data from the real world.</p>
