> without lighthouses Well, we're talking about the future. The Quest 2 implementation proved that the future is definitely not lighthouses [1], especially for mobile, which is the neccesary future of AR. Lighthouses are a technology from a time when there were no SOCs with the hardware required to support the cameras. In the end, we'll probably end up with a mix of SLAM cameras, and lidar. Full body tracking is all that's keeping lighthouses relevant. Maybe that goes away with more cameras. :) If you have enough cameras/lidar, you get tracking of all world objects, not just those with sensors attached. 1. https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3463914.3463921 https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3463914.3463921 > The results reveal a significantly higher accuracy for the Oculus Quest 2 compared to SteamVR Tracking in the height of a tracked object. Furthermore, the Oculus Quest 2 tracks its position with substantially higher precision than SteamVR Tracking.
