Meta's investment in virtual and augmented realities (VR and AR) is pushing forward and a new report says the company is planning to release four headsets in the next two years.

Canon has updated its augmented reality headset in the new MREAL X1. It has a wider viewing angle along with the ability to fuse real-life scenes with computer-generated elements in real-time.

Virtual reality is an up and coming industry. Big jumps are being made, with many genres of photography and film getting on board. But VR has always been limited in its resolution, with the experience feeling a bit pixelated to the user. Finnish startup Varjo wants to change this with "human eye resolution."

Homido mini is a new virtual reality viewer that's designed to be a smaller and sleeker alternative to Google Cardboard.

The promise of truly immersive, virtual reality headsets for the masses is just around the corner with Oculus Rift launching its consumer version in 2016. In the meantime, a number of alternative solutions have been introduced including Google’s Cardboard, Samsung’s GearVR, and Carl Zeiss’ VR ONE headset. We’ll be taking a look at the latter to see if one of the world’s greatest optics manufacturers has what it takes to jump into the virtual reality space.

Virtual reality is one of the trending technologies that tech companies are pouring vast amounts of time and research into, and one company that wants in is Flickr. The photo sharing company is working on a virtual reality photo viewing experience that may be integrated into its service in the future.
