Could this be just a decoy strategy from Apple while they work on something more tangible? AR is not a smaller disc or faster processor, AR does not exist - yet

Could this be just a decoy strategy from Apple while they work on something more tangible? AR is not a smaller disc or faster processor, AR does not exist - yet - and may very well never exist due to physical constraints (you can not paint black etc).
- gilgoomesh 10y agoI'm not sure what you're talking about. AR already exists: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/en-us https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/en-us It isn't necessarily useful but it exists. As for whether this is a decoy strategy... Apple aren't even promoting this so it's not a strategy on their part; it's just information pieced together from hirings, anecdotes and guesses.
- ctdonath 10y agoMakes sense for Apple to spend some resources investigating potential large & new technologies, even if they don't produce a product. The field will shift when AR and self-driving cars and [insert intriguing vaporware here] arrive, so Apple should take a good hard look at the impact, if not the product potential, before they're too far behind the curve.
