30 years

HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE BEFORE VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY REACH MATURITY.

According to the VP of Qualcomm’s Product Management, Tim Leland, we are “at the beginning of a 30-year cycle until we get the ultimate VR/AR device”. Leland was quick to add that the short term for both realities still holds exciting developments, like high-tier devices going wireless, and the accessibility of mobile alternatives increasing, but he predicts that the end-goal is a single device that runs on a ‘5G’ connection and can handle AR full-time, and VR when you want it.
