This transforms your phone into a VR headset screen, simulating devices like the HTC Vive. Since VRidge and our Unity Core Assets both take advantage of OpenVR, it’s possible for you to build and test your project using this minimal setup. This limits immersion, but mobile VR headset users will already be familiar with this.

In the end, I still believe in the old predictions of Unity CEO John Riccitiello: Look at this graph shown by Mr. Riccitiello in 2017: the purple line is the one of the analysts, while the white one is the one forecasted by him.

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.

But if I have to look at the numbers, some kind of AR is already mainstream : yes, the smartphone doesn’t provide immersive AR and people using it maybe don’t even know that it is called AR (maybe they call it just “filters”), but it is anyway augmented reality and it is of very common use now. And that’s it!
