XR is no longer the future–it’s here. Hardware is widely available, tools have matured, and AI has removed much of the hard work. XR is now ready for almost any use case.

Conquering the mainstream is up to XR builders: designers, developers, and hackers who master a domain and know their audience so well they create spatial experiences that are irresistible. They shift the center of gravity away from platforms and investors. They own the user relationship. They bring XR to every person on Earth.
