Not in it's current form. If/when the form factor gets to the point where it can fit in my glasses and not be very noticeable, absolutely.
I think it needs to be a set of glasses and we need better battery tech before that can really happen. Solid state batteries will be needed since their energy density is so much higher. As a low vision user i can think of an immediate use as a magnification device. Actual magnifiers dont work well for me but software magnification does. Therefore i could magnify my surroundings to read signs, etc.
I totally agree with this. I think Google was ahead of its time with Google Glass and I think something like that could catch on in a future where the hardware and software are more robust. Driving/walking directions, real time translation...some great potential for useful applications!
It has great potential, but I worry that it'll make technology even more intrustive into everyday life.
I remember this, I had a feeling the tech or something similar would be back someday.
Lol i do remember this! Funny though that now everyone is recording everyone else in public and posting it online. The "glassholes" were tame compared to how people use their phones in public now.
No but i bet there are a lot of corporate execs and wannabe crypto landlords that WANT me to wear a headset all the time. You gotta imagine the CEOs are drooling at the idea of making yet another $1000+ device mandatory for modern life.
It's an expensive gadget for a niche audience.
I thought Apple's announcement for AR would be something that is actually wearable like glasses as opposed to something so bulky.
For VR it is cool, but is actual AR glasses that are indistinguishable from normal glasses and don't require a seal around your eyes making you all sweaty still years off?
I just want smartphone VR, not planning to buy a dedicated headset, just want to make use of what already exists and have wanted to try doing a VR desktop for a while using a phone
apparently there are problems with smartphone VR... but I presume them to be surmountable and that they're just trying to sell unnecessary VR hardware instead as a kind of gimmicky business move
same honestly, I've been considering turning my old phone into a ghetto vr setup
