John Carmack, ex-CTO for the Quest 3 and OG Doom developer, thinks AR is overrated

One of the most respected specialists in the field of technology thinks that AR can’t bring success to the XR industry. But is he right?

on the market right now can paint you a picture of evolution. And while we can’t really say that we’ve gotten to a point where VR is truly adopted and meaningful to the masses, the XR industry has come a long way since its inception., we can instantly see the leap. Meta’s latest model is more powerful, more capable, more comfortable and its $500 price tag doesn’t come anywhere close to the Apple Vision Pro’s shocking $3,500.— offers some proper AR features too.

As in, if your desk is cluttered, because you don’t have a house big enough to be able to afford it tobe, will these AR features work for you as good as they did for the person in the trailer? Food for thought, for sure. And this one, I can’t really get behind. I mean, if we focus all of our efforts on making immersive virtual experiences, then what remains of reality? This would be a resounding cultural shock, in which I honestly I’d rather not take part of.

Also, if we have to be honest: this isn't John's first hot take. Once upon a time, he said that games don’t need stories and today, we’re enjoying incredible, immersive, story-driven experiences, capable of rivaling some of the greatest literary works, so… Keep that in mind too.
