My predictions for augmented reality in 2022

vrcoin on February 4, 2022

After having written my predictions for virtual reality for this year, it’s time for me to dig into what is happening in the next months in augmented reality. As I always say about my predictions, I’m not sure they will turn out to be true (and honestly, many times this hasn’t happened), but for sure they identify some trends to keep an eye on.

I hope this new lunar year is going to bring you the best possible outcomes!  Tonight starts the year of the Tiger… which is going to be my year! According to the tradition, it should be a year that will be important for me, either in a good or a bad way, so it should be pretty exciting. I have already a red bracelet and I just bought some red socks that are considered a way to help me in having an amazing new year.
