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). Magic Leap will meet its fate.

The firm’s first XR headset is due soon, and with it comes a spatial computing ambition that draws similarities and differences to Lenovo, Microsoft, Meta, HTC VIVE, and other XR headset vendors. Earlier this month, reports highlighted how Google and Samsung face a “ great fear ” when Apple releases new products.

This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and Magic Leap. For example, they are lowering the cameras and sensors so users’ hands aren’t getting tired. For example, WebXR experiences on the Meta Quest are still immersive but delivered through a browser instead of a standalone application.

As I’m thinking back to it now, this was actually on HTC VIVE — first gen, which was only maybe 3, 4 years ago now — and I was so impressed with the first generation of hardware that I was like, “well, this is ready for prime time.” Alan: Absolutely. It’s an interesting first gen product. Alan: Yeah.

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. GB: Magic Leap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Stereoscopic cameras are an example.

And I think it's a really interesting point, because many VR users tend to buy VR to play games, including Steam or Oculus or HTC Vive.

I feel like some products, such as Google Cardboard, and some of the lower-end pieces of hardware, have actually done more harm than good to the reputation of virtual reality. People get in it, and they see, "this as a medium-to-low-quality image or video that I'm sitting in," and there's not much interaction if it's a Google Cardboard.
