The $10,000 reality-blending, mixed-reality XR-1 headset can make 4K TVs and Volvo cars appear out of nowhere, and create 2D monitors at will. I tried it first-hand.
I didn't expect to cry when I stepped into a demo suite in a hotel mid-afternoon on a Thursday to try a new VR/AR headset. I rarely get emotional in demos anymore. But then I was invited to look at what appeared to be a massive 4K TV in the room I was sitting in. A TV that wasn't there. It was playing the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker trailer. I thought to myself: This is it. This is the moment when VR finally looks good enough to replace my TV.
