AR (Augmented Reality), alongside VR (Virtual Reality), is called the holy grail of the future of gaming. Popular video games have been released in recent years, such as Pokemon Go, Ingress, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and many more. But as VR headsets are starting to be popular in the market, so is the development of AR headgears. Unlike the former, AR headgears are lightweight and are more comfortable to wear since they are not bulky.
There are currently few players in the AR headset market, including Microsoft’s HoloLens and Magic Leap. Apple is also developing an AR headgear for consumers and will reveal a preliminary development kit in 2022. Aside from these three developers, Nreal is finally releasing its Nreal Light glasses to the US market.
