We have a lot to go through; we're going to go through all of the different hardware aspects involved in Virtual/Mixed/Augmented Reality -- XR -- and it's not just the headsets or headphones. Antony: Yeah, because the great thing about VR is that you can perform this training, realistically simulating the situation the person will be in.

This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and Magic Leap. Also, while converging the physical and virtual worlds is inevitable, it won’t be through massive ski goggles on your face. Apple’s approach was not to get everyone into virtual worlds right away, but it was a great way to meet audiences halfway.

So, putting some of the physical world together with a lot of the virtual world is a really wise idea. So, I think the most meaningful experience I had was around putting together the physical world and the virtual world about the time when I would say, I had my new eyes, and I could see in stereo.

I mean, in many cases, you can simulate things with AR that you’re not able to do with a regular website or any other application. I think there’s an inherent risk of collecting eye tracking data, and positional head tracking data, and more data about individuals. And so how do you get people there?
