Marc Andreessen on VR/AR

Published on Written Jan 6, 2019Last Updated Dec 26, 2019

From Marc Andreessen:

I think AR has tons of potential applications, both at work and at home. [But] I think VR is going to be about 1,000 times bigger.

On the latest podcast of a16z, Andreessen goes onto explain that while AR works for more “interesting” places in the world (in other words, more densely populated), rural places never get to see the benefits of AR as much. As someone who spent a large portion of my life growing up in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin, this makes a lot of sense. Even being back home over the holidays, trying to play Pokemon Go in rural areas is near impossible.

But then again, we’re already seeing the decline of interest in VR/AR. Something revolutionary will need to come along again to spark interest in the way Oculus (and later Vive) did.
