Apple Maps are going AR. iOS 15 finally brings AR navigation instructions to Apple Maps , in a way similar to the one that Google is already offering. Even if Apple has not released its glasses yet, it is building a strong AR ecosystem that will be very valuable when its hardware will be out. A list of good deals.

VR just passed the thorough of disillusionment and is here to stay thanks to investments in the AR/VR market by Facebook, Google and Apple.

As a long-time AR enthusiast, and one of the first to have tried Google Glass in Italy, I have to admit that I will consider AR mainstream only when it will be on glasses that we will wear all day , when we’ll live in a completely shared mixed reality world (the AR Cloud). Facebook and Apple will jumpstart the smartglasses ecosystem.

It seems that Mark is still working on that vision, so that in the end, Facebook will be able to do on its devices whatever it wants, without compromises and without control.
