The fact that all immersive technologies have been flagged as mature by it means that many more companies will believe in their potential and will want to implement them. The road in front of AR and VR is still very long and many years are needed to make immersive realities mainstream like cell phones.

But immersive head-mounted AR for consumers has had one major hurdle that Microsoft may have just solved. When accuracy and latency isn’t low enough, the augmented objects swing around with your head and your brain doesn’t consider them part of the world. HoloLens’ sensor cluster has a whopping 11 elements.

Side note that AR will be much bigger than VR, in both the diversity of use cases and market size (analysts predict $30B for VR versus $90B for AR by 2020), but I still believe that most homes will have a dedicated VR space for total immersion. Those interactions can be mapped to brainwaves and translated into action with almost no latency.

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. What about Magic Leap ?

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. This has 3 main components to it, dictated by hardware: Wait, how is this different from things like Microsoft’s Hololens? Devices such as the Magic Leap and the Hololens rely on Waveguide optics.
