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). Or is it just a talk about glasses?

But it feels somewhat claustrophobic for fully immersive content or looking around with passthrough, limits the viewability of your keyboard in productivity scenarios, and makes walking around dangerous because you can't see the ground below. Given this only happens in Unity Full Space apps, I suspect this can be solved in future software.

For a good Mixed Reality experience, the degree of immersion is key in making you believe what’s in front of you is the real deal. The XR visual processing pipeline is both compute intensive and latency sensitive. We’re looking at you, Google Glass. That’s not all. Splitting the processing correctly requires a system approach.

Low latency is also not the result of one single technique. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped.
