* | *'''Hardware Evolution:''' Lighter, smaller, more comfortable devices, potentially resembling standard eyeglasses ("True AR"). Improvements in display technology (wider FOV, higher resolution/brightness, better power efficiency), battery life, and processing power.<ref name="Qualcomm5GXR">Qualcomm. (2023).

* | *'''AI Integration:''' More sophisticated [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] for enhanced environmental understanding ([[Spatial AI]]), contextual awareness, predictive assistance, realistic [[Non-player character|NPC]] behavior, and [[Generative artificial intelligence|generative AI]] for dynamic content creation within spatial environments.<ref name="NvidiaOmniverseRef"/> | ||
* | *'''Ecosystem Development:''' Standardization of platforms and protocols ([[OpenXR]]), improved development tools, and growth of compelling applications and content ecosystems. Interoperability between different devices and platforms will be crucial. | ||
* | *'''Convergence:''' Further blending with [[Internet of Things|IoT]], [[Cloud computing]], [[Edge computing]], and potentially forming key infrastructure for concepts like the [[Metaverse]]. | ||
* | *'''Accessibility:''' Lower price points over time driving wider consumer and enterprise adoption. | ||
* | *'''Enhanced Interaction:''' Advances in [[Brain–computer interface|brain-computer interfaces]] or sophisticated sensor-based inputs (e.g., EMG wristbands<ref>Meta Reality Labs research on EMG input. [URL needed]</ref>) could offer new ways to interact spatially. | ||
