Opening Remarks & Keynote
summary
Annual State of XR opens with a real‑time 3D point‑cloud teleported onstage using Mantis Vision, then lays out concrete claims: AR/VR spans 50 years; analysts project a ~$200B market; investors put $3.6B in the past year; one third of mobile users tried AR and 75% of those are monthly active; headset sales grow 70% and smart‑glass rumors point to T288 in 2021. The roadmap centers on a shared spatial map called the air cloud, specific enterprise ROI studies claiming 25–85% savings, and the rallying cry go XR or go extinct.
