Mixed Reality check

Abstract

What is the state of Mixed Reality in 2023, and how did we get here? Starting with an accelerated history of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, we will look at the current state of the art of Mixed Reality in terms of hardware and software, and have a look forward to the near future to see what is just around the corner for this relatively new medium. As Apple (Apple Vision Pro), Meta (Meta Quest 3), and Microsoft (HoloLens 2) carve out their own respective visions for the future of Mixed Reality, it's never been a more important time to stop and take a look at how far the technology has come, and where it might take us in the future.
