Google Cardboard VR goggles no longer sold on Google Store By Rei Padla - March 4, 2021 The Google Store page says, “We are no longer selling Google Cardboard on the Google Store. We will continue to help the community build new experiences through our Cardboard open source project.” Cardboard app development and experiences are still supported. There may still be some units from third-party retailers. It’s not clear until when Google will offer official support. We also won’t be surprised if the company totally stops providing it. So, the videos and games are still active, goggles can still be purchased BUT Google themselves are no longer selling the cardboard. https://media.giphy.com/media/ZqUati0nE4sgM/giphy.gif https://androidcommunity.com/google-cardboard-vr-goggles-no-longer-sold-on-google-store-20210304/

• 2022, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called: Nerve Gear. • Day One, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life.

AR in evolves after Full Dive in the show https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Augma Unlike its predecessors, the «NerveGear» and «AmuSphere», the Augma is capable of sending signals to the brain while the users are awake,and is thus primarily used as an Augmented Reality device. Unbeknown to the general public, the Augma also has the capability of immersing the user in FullDive due to the device being based on the NerveGear,however, this function is suppressed by default, requiring someone with knowledge of the feature to unlock it in order for it to be usable.

The show was interesting because they willingly took what seemed like a technological step back into AR from complete VR because of their fear of what had happened and yet THEN you learn that they had incorporated and shrunk the VR
