The hype for the Apple visor is very high, and everyone is waiting for it as a kid waits for Christmas. I was thinking about this topic this morning, and I want to share with you my stream of thoughts about Apple making VR mainstream, especially highlighting my doubts about it.

Italy won the Tennis Davis Cup, and that was pretty cool to see (the match between Sinner and Djokovic was just incredible).

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 was our hope for Google entering the AR race together with Meta and Apple. Let’s see: Google is still working with Qualcomm and Samsung on a mixed-reality headset. Various reports indicated it as the internal codename in Google for a project meant to build augmented reality glasses. Well, it seems that our hope has died.
