This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it's not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??
I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.
It's a mobile phone you don't need to hold.
It's a mobile phone that never goes in your pocket.
It's a mobile phone that is always on and has access to everything you see and hear.
Sounds like a fucking nightmare, but a wet dream to Big Tech.
That's pill. They just have to sugar coat it enough for everyone to swallow it (like we did with phones).
