The extended reality (XR) sector saw several key developments in late May 2025 across hardware, software, and enterprise applications. Meta has begun rolling out version 77 of the Quest headset runtime, featuring a major user interface overhaul with the introduction of 'Navigator.' This launcher overlay integrates system interfaces such as Library, Quick Controls, and Camera, and allows quick access to favorite apps. The update also enables automatic conversion of 2D Instagram photos to immersive 3D format within the headset. Navigator is being tested with some users and will gradually reach all Quest users. Apple is reportedly accelerating development of its smartglasses, with a potential launch in late 2026. The glasses are expected to include cameras, microphones, speakers, and support for phone calls, music playback, live translation, navigation, and multimodal AI, described as 'Visual Intelligence.' In hardware innovation, Pimax announced a 140-degree field-of-view optical module for its Crystal Super headset. A multi-institutional team introduced FlatTrack, an ultra-thin, lensless eye-tracking system for headsets. Pohang University of Science and Technology unveiled a metasurface technology that can display up to 36 high-resolution holographic images on a surface thinner than a human hair, using silicon nitride nanostructures for precise light manipulation. In enterprise applications, Moscow Trade Center implemented Resonai’s Vera AR software, leading to a 44% reduction in repair times and a 30-minute extension of daily operating hours. Kognitiv Spark released RemoteSpark 2.5, integrating Microsoft Teams and OneDrive into DigiLens ARGO smart glasses, allowing field workers to join Teams meetings and access personal files directly from their wearable devices. Meta partnered with Blumhouse to bring social VR experiences based on popular horror movie franchises to Horizon Worlds. Additionally, new VR games and applications have been released or updated across major platforms, and Android-based XR headsets from Samsung and Google have received attention following hands-on demonstrations.
