Meta CTO on Wireless Compute Pucks for Quest: They Don’t Solve the Problem
- Meta's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, believes wireless compute units are not the solution for standalone VR gaming on Meta's Quest headsets.
- Bosworth explains that wireless compute pucks still add weight to the headset due to the battery, and increase cost and complexity.
- Meta is focused on building affordable consumer products, with its latest Quest 3S priced at $300.
- While Meta's Orion prototype incorporates a wireless compute unit, Bosworth emphasizes the high cost and limited usage in delivering less immersive graphics.

Spatial Computing: Redefining the Reality of Future Warfare
- Spatial Computing is redefining the reality of future warfare by using a combination of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies.
- VR creates hyper-realistic scenarios for simulated training or mission planning, while AR enhances the real world by overlaying additional virtual layers.
- For instance, Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) trained for tunnel warfare against Hezbollah using VR headsets without physically being underground.
- The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) with the US military and the Military Augmented Reality System (MARS) by Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) are advanced AR models that upgrade a soldier’s sensory perception, target acquisition and target engagement.
- However, the systems have yet to see deployment on an actual battlefield due to inherent limitations, such as information and cognitive overload. Cognitive overload could retard situational awareness in combat.
- Moreover, the AI-augmented nature of this technology raises legitimate apprehensions regarding cyber-threats such as data breaches or jamming.
- The exorbitant costs associated with these devices could limit adoption and militarisation of this technology.
- To maximise the utility of emerging technologies, rigorous R&D and regular trials are essential. Machine learning (ML) can play a pivotal role by filtering massive data streams and prioritising critical information in real-time.
- ML-driven encryption and advanced security protocols are vital to safeguard devices from cyber threats, with indigenisation emerging as a key solution for long-term cybersecurity resilience.
- Developing headsets with weather-resistant, adaptive materials will be crucial for their reliability in extreme operational environments.

Transforming Medtech with AI and Virtual Reality
- Virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) can be game changers when it comes to getting complex high-quality products to market faster and more efficiently, said Seamus Maguire, global vice president of lean systems at Freudenberg Medical.
- Using AI and VR can standardize the human element aspect of manufacturing, which is where a lot of the slow-down can happen.
- Freudenberg has successfully used VR for complicated tech transfers from different countries and has developed AI to determine optimal site layouts.
- Maguire will speak on how Freudenberg is using AI and VR to enhance operator training and optimize factory layout planning at the upcoming MD&M West session, which is taking place from Feb. 4-6, 2025, in Anaheim, CA.
- Freudenberg used VR to improve the quality of training and build muscle memory of operators without interrupting the product flow.
- Freudenberg used VR and a thing called a 3P process which is production, preparation, and process to create a 3D mock-up digitized version to store, share and make it easier to explore the current layout at different locations.
- Freudenberg also developed AI trained on lean methodologies and optimized their best layouts to create something that you could put a VR headset on and walk around.
- VR training standardizes the human element which is where a lot of the slow-down can happen and eliminates fear, therefore, allowing for operators to experiment and learn.
- The human element is one of the biggest sources of variation in manufacturing, and VR technology allows us to remove one of the biggest sources of variation.
- People who would be interested in the session would include business leaders of companies who want to set things up right, operations team members, engineers, and those interested in tech transfers across continents.
