NimbleVR and 13th Lab join Oculus. This is huge news! https://oculus/blog/nimble-vr-13th-lab-and-chris-bregler-join-oculus/ 13th Lab are responsible for the PointCloud SDK which provided real-time SLAM (basically, markerless position and orientation tracking) for iOS devices. Im guessing these acquisitions mean that Oculus is planning to (or at least seriously considering) use of SLAM for position tracking for mobile devices. Carmack mentioned trying out... Metaio I think... previously, but performance wasnt quite there. My guess is that the next iteration of Gear VR (or similar) will have a wide angle lens, and possibly a depth sensor. Exciting times.
