Is XR the Next Big Thing? Immersion, Collaboration, and More!
summary
Claims that XR slows after a funding dip but revives when paired with AI, with specific prototypes and tools to prove it: a testing rig called arum testing tool that automates headset QA, a patented 2D-to-3D app porter that runs phone apps inside 3D headsets, an accessibility demo that turns speech and sign language into on-screen text, and an AI→3D model pipeline that converts text prompts to textured models in seconds instead of hours. Hardware ergonomics and development skills remain the main blockers.
