> Ask your virtual assistant to deliver a message to a coworker and it might walk out of your office, reappear beside your colleague’s desk via his or her own MR headset and deliver the message in person. Why do people buy into this junk. The easiest way is plain text. email/slack etc VR is useless for the office. Things are solved via text/speech, occasionally a graph helps but we all know they are mostly for show. A magical ability to make things 3D doesn't make work easier. > In one of its demos the Magic Leap team shows off a computer-generated “virtual interactive human,” life-size and surprisingly realistic. Abovitz and his team imagine virtual people (or animals or anything else) as digital assistants–think Siri on steroids How does a 3d Siri make the backend suddenly easier? The AI to analysis what you are saying? The AI to answer correctly? The tech to speak smoothly to you? The things that actually matter and work fine in 2d. A good computer game can costs 100's of millions. These are going to be even more expensive. Even gaming will take a while to kick off.
