Today I am kicking off 2023 with another annual monologue. I hope you and your family were able to have a safe and relaxing holiday, even in the face of another arctic blast and spate of viral diseases.

This is the sixth such annual kickoff episode, and when looking back at my notes from last year, the big surprise from 2022 was the resounding commitment shown by Meta and others to continued investment in VR & AR technologies, despite heavy financial losses and Wall Street pressure. That commitment is necessary to see our industry through its slow progress for AR technology, and its still nascent growing pains.

I’m going to share my take on some of the highlights of 2022 and what we might see in 2023 as it relates to augmented reality.
