I take a bus in the morning. Everyone is staring at screens. I don't see why another version of Google Glass isn't going to make a come back. Something less invasive and dorkier.
We just want the info right in front of our eyes. Something that augments us as a human directly.
- jp555 10y agoMy hope is Magic Leap will be the beginning of that.
- LeifCarrotson 10y agoMy fear is that Magic Leap is getting all those investment dollars from big names like Google, Qualcomm, Alibaba, Andreessen Horowitz because the investors are ignoring the realistic difficulties of actually building it and buying into the idea. My hope, like yours, is that they actually succeed in building it.

- kordless 10y agoI've never liked this counter argument to screen engagement. Newspapers have a very small footprint of data available to the reader. I'd be willing to bet that photo that is paraded around every time this argument is made was taken shortly after the paperboy came through the car, or the car was just loaded at a station. Within 20 minutes, everyone is going to have set down their paper and moved onto doing something else.
- u_wot_m8 10y agothis, alway laugh when people try and act like everybody in the past was conversing with each other on public transport. People haven't changed in the last 50 years.
- mwfunk 10y agoMy theory is that most people don't want to have to make small talk with random strangers whose #1 form of entertainment is making small talk with random strangers in public places. Such people have and always will exist, and they will always complain that they can't get people to talk to them/entertain them because for some mysterious reason everyone around them has their nose in a book/newspaper/screen/etc. :)
- ageofwant 10y agoNanites directly interfacing with your optic and auditory nerves. Computational neural laces mirroring ancient structures. Self-replicating smart-dust that permeates the biosphere. These things have been around in science fiction for decades. And some of it will eventually be true.
- iainmerrick 10y agoThe good news is, they'll be free! Coincidentally, we solved the problem of figuring out when you're actually watching an ad, so the ad market is going to be much more efficient.

- ageofwant 10y agoI wonder what one would sell to people living out their lives in 1cmx3mx3m slabs of smartmatter perpetually orbiting the sun. Having said that I won't be surprised if the last few ergs of entropy in the universe will be spent on some anti heat-death scam email.
- Pigo 10y agoMy company has me building a few POC's with the HoloLens. Yes it's Windows 10 and has a narrow field of view. But as a fully functional, self-contained device with some spectacular betas (especially Skype and Young Conker) it surprised me. It's still along the lines of "this will be really cool one day", but the more people trying, the quicker we'll get there.
