The technology is certainly there. WebXR is the standard API for immersive experiences on the web, and frameworks like A-Frame provide ready-to-use XR components, covering inputs, primitives, teleportation, gestures and so on. Since AI coding tools can already interact with external libraries, I realized I only needed to provide the intent and guide the AI toward the spatial outcome I wanted.

For Google, the AI boom's arrival is perfectly timed for an AR revival. Internally, the company has been consolidating efforts to move faster, hoping to spark partnerships for a range of head-worn devices. At the same time, it faces an uphill battle in convincing customers, partners, and employees that it's prepared to make it work. Internally, Google teams are heavily focused on Android XR, a new software that Google hopes hardware partners will want to build devices on.

at Disney Quest VR in the 1990s, to being an early backer of the Oculus Rift DK1 on Kickstarter in 2013, to leading the Oculus VR/AR team at Meta from 2017 to 2020 (and getting to work alongside VR legends like John Carmack, Brendan Iribe and Jason Rubin), and always testing every VR product or experience I can get my hands on.
