This is What the Future of Mixed Reality Looks Like

Pick a letter, any letter — Apple calls it AR, Qualcomm prefers XR, Microsoft — and more recently Magic Leap — have gone for MR. But whether Augmented, Extended, or Mixed, these immersive holographic experiences are going to be entering our own reality soon, and we best get ready.

“When you change the way you see the world, you change the world you see, and this is what has happened with the HoloLens,” said Satya Nadella as he kicked off the much-anticipated launch, over 3 years after the device was first launched in 2016.

Let’s be honest, 2016 seems like a very long time ago now. Think back, if you can, to a time when Trump wasn’t the President of the United States. That was also the first time I tried the HoloLens, and I knew then that I had experienced the first generation of a game-changing technology.
