AR in 2026 Year In Review Presentation (Part 1: AR Challenges)

Last month at MicroLED and ARVR Connect, I gave a "Master Class" on the conference's first day. I tried to cram about 2 hours of content into a 1-hour presentation. I presented on the trends I saw in optical see-through (OST) AR in 2026. With the conference's permission to use the video, I decided to turn my presentation into a series of articles.

AR Roundtable Video Part 3: Meta’s Orion, Wristband, Apps, & Walled Garden

I divided the two-hour AR Roundtable into three parts, with this being the last and, I think, in some ways, the most interesting part. We discussed more of the motivations for Meta and Snap announcing these concept products. Brad shared some information he has heard about issues with Meta's EMG wristband control, and Jeri shared some of her past experiences with EMG-type control.
