At long last, Meta has dropped the requirement for a personal Facebook account for the Meta Quest. This was a serious annoyance and, in some cases, privacy breach for many enterprise Quest users. The new login system paves the way for Meta's planned 2023 reintroduction of the enterprise platform for the Quest.

Users, new and old, of Meta's VR devices, will be required to sign up for a Meta account to log in and access the metaverse.

Meta's VR transition has caused some confusion with enterprise users. Oculus for Business sales end in December but the new Work Account system won't be brought online until 2023.

In the interim, enterprise customers have no option except consumer headsets which must be linked to a Facebook account. But, contrary to widespread misconception, you DO NOT need a separate FB account for each headset. If you are acquiring multiple headsets for business use, you only need to connect them to a single, dormant personal account.

The account cannot be a business account or a fake name but a single individual in your organization can set up a secondary personal FB account for the sole purpose of registering the headsets.)

And the bonus good news: Consumer headsets are half the price of the former Business headsets!

Facebook clarifies its stance after a series of misscommunications.

Facebook's switch to Meta may mean little for social media but it's revolutionary for VR. Meta's new business application policies will dramatically improve White Rabbit's ability to serve enterprise customers.

At Facebook Connect 2021 today, the company announced it will be releasing a new Quest for Business program that’s rebooting its enterprise-focused VR software by bringing its growing suite of business tools to the consumer version of Quest 2, which you can buy from anywhere. Facebook will be allo...

There's never been a better time to invest in a VR headset. Just sayin'

It comes as no surprise to learn that the travel industry and various tech companies are increasingly experimenting with ways to use VR to give people the same basic experience of tourism.

White Rabbit VR Announces Confined Spaces VR MOU with SCSA, SASM

We are thrilled to announce the signing of an MOU with the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association and the Safety Association of Saskatchewan Manufacturers to explore the development of a commercial confined spaces training application.

Confined spaces are among the most hazardous worksites with injury rates roughly 150 times higher than other work environments. It is also one of the most expensive to train workers, with conventional simulators costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The two industry safety associations will be working with White Rabbit to develop an industry-accepted, certifiable, low-cost VR alternative that will make effective confined spaces training more accessible to a broader range of businesses.

Key learnings from our visit to CES 2020 XR exhibits:

- the Pimax and Varjo headsets are as good as advertised if not better and offer vast improvements for enterprise VR
- Mixed reality - the next, more consumer-friendly generation of Google Goggles - is still an impractical novelty. Although it was one of the stars of the show with roughly 20 MR vendors, none of the headsets offered an engaging or useful experience, in our opinion.
- Haptic (touch simulation) technology is likewise a long way off but is making incremental advances thanks to a cadre of dedicated evangelists. Special shout out to our new friends at Sense Glove for their hospitality and innovation.
- Ultraleap continues to be the industry leader in hand-tracking. Their new Rigel sensor delivers significant improvements over the legacy Leap Motion sensor.
- After years of hovering on the fringes, Beijing-based Pico Interactive is poised to make a major North American breakthrough with its impressive Neo 2, a 6DOF Quest competitor.
