Today’s mixed reality headsets let you put computer graphics in front of a video capture of the real world around you. The video itself is not quite up to the resolution and color richness of actual reality, but over time, as technology continues to advance, that gap will close.
Today’s headsets only let you see the real world behind synthetic computer graphics. You are not given the ability to modify your view into reality.
But in the future you will be able to edit the world around you through your glasses. You will be able to zoom in, enhance colors, highlight objects, or selectively sharpen details of things that interest you.
More tomorrow.
