An Apple AR headset has been a mainstay of the rumor mills for several years, and we expect Facebook to be creating an AR Oculus device. In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. In one scenario this may be some kind of AR browser, equivalent to today’s web browsers, like WebXR running on Chrome.
