Oculus chief scientist Mike Abrash still sees the rosy future through AR/VR glasses

Oculus VR chief scientist Mike Abrash has been one of Facebook’s best advocates for motivating developers to commit themselves to virtual reality. At his keynotes, he tries to inspire people to do the hard work necessary to bring about the future.

One of his big predictions is that a single product will be able to do mixed reality, or both virtual reality (where you are fully immersed in a 3D world) and augmented reality (where you can see the world around you, with animations overlaid on top of it) using the same glasses product. That’s going to take a long time to become a reality, but Abrash pointed out the paths for technology to make it happen.
