Scientists have tested what life is like when using mixed reality goggles, and the technology's effects on a wearer. Turns out, even state-of-the-art headsets can cause some considerable issues.
Mixed reality could soon become mainstream following the release of Apple's Vision Pro this year, alongside existing tech such as Meta's Quest 3. These devices have a "passthrough" mode that shows wearers real-time video footage captured by front-facing cameras and augmented with a digital interface. It incorporates both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) — essentially mixing the digital and physical worlds.
