Developers speaking to the Game Developers Collective seem to think the VR games market has hit a roadblock, even with this year's launch of the Apple Vision Pro.
I really hope AR does not catch on, especially if it’s from a company like Meta. This video perfectly shows what I could see Meta doing with their own AR platform if it goes mainstream, eeven if if the video itself is complete fiction.
I love that video. Also, it’s unfortunately exactly WHY AR will catch on.
But I don’t think it has to or even will turn out that way. The uses for learning alone will be amazing. Think of working on your car with an AR overlay. Maybe it’ll even be powered by an actually effective ML algorithm trained solely on repair videos, if your make and model aren’t available. Think of going to a museum, and having unlimited placards and links and tangentially related deep dives. Think of 3d video calls where you don’t have to cluster around a computer screen, but can better see eye contact. There are definitely pros, and let’s not forget the Internet used to be a mess of ads like that. Things eventually improve.
