Interesting sub-thread. But most commentary seems to be assuming that there is only one cyberspace - like in Snow Crash. That is not the case and I don't see it becoming the case. When I walk around in AR cyberspace, I'll not see things that others decide to show me. I'll see no ads. I'll see no obnoxious graffiti. Why would I. It's my cyberspace - I'll see and interact with things of my own choosing.
- arcticfox 10y agoThis is the same as "I'll browse the Internet on my phone and see no ads, no spam, no stupid comments. Why would I? It's my phone." Which is theoretically true, if you built your own OS, your own clients to every app, your own perfect spam capture...
- intrasight 10y agoWhen you "browse the internet" you are going to someone else's space. When I use my computer, I'm in my own space until I choose not to be. AR will be no different, or no one is going to use it.
- heartsucker 10y agoYou sound very sure about that, but then 25 years ago people probably would have thought it unthinkable for all of their photos, connections, and personal posts on a single platform (facebook, etc.). Paying $200 for someone else's AR device that "just works" vs. rolling your own and maintaining it? What do you thin the average consumer is going to pick.
- intrasight 10y agoI'm not talking about the device. I'm talking about where I visit with it. I do expect the device to "just work" - like a monitor.
