2024 AR/VR: Mind = Blown 🤯

The latest advancements in AR and VR have me completely enthralled; the speed at which things are progressing is astounding! I would actually lose track of all the developments, so I developed a short newsletter called “Spatial Spectrum” to help me stay on top of things. Putting it together has been enjoyable, and it provides insight into the direction that immersive technology is taking. Sharing the awesome new upgrades with others is also enjoyable. Is there anyone else here monitoring this area?

It’s still in the honeymoon phase. By 2025-2026, when it’s more cost-effective and app stores have practical apps instead of just cool demos, it’ll be better. Like 10 useful GPS apps instead of 50 random 3D jelly ones.

Totally agree, we should ditch the whole “capability demonstration” angle. What we really need are practical features that make a difference—like a helpful navigation overlay, a streamlined floating checklist, and an AI that responds quickly and intuitively to queries.

This stuff is moving at light speed, it’s hard to keep up. That “Spatial Spectrum” newsletter is such a cool idea - a great way to stay informed and share the latest with others. There are definitely others here tracking this space. I’d love to hear what you’ve dug up in your newsletter - any mind-blowing advancements you’d like to share?
