In the future, I imagine a single device that can do both. In that world, VR is just AR that occludes your entire vision. Then you use AR when you want to stay in your current environment, and VR when you want to be transported to a very different environment from the one you are physically in.
- ansible 11y agoThat's something they're working on with CastAR. They're developing an attachment which clips onto the front of the glasses. http://www.castar.com http://www.castar.com
- renox 11y agoThe HTC Vive has already a front facing cameras, so there you are: a VR headset which can do AR. Of course with only one low-res camera, it's very poor AR. And it's tethered.. When most people talk about AR, they're talking about untethered AR.. The tethered --> wireless --> autonomous transitions won't be easy though (probably needs to track the eyeball to reduce the power needed).
