The cyberpunk and tech enthusiast in me can't wait for AR "headsets" to get to a point where they are super light and indistinguishable from normal glasses, but then the cynic in me believes we'll end in a world not far from what was portrayed in that recent short video Hyper Reality[1].
I am looking forward to those first few years of it where the tech is wild and new and people are playing with it in new and interesting ways. Just imagine how much you can do with it. You can have augmented TV and movie experiences. Pairing your AR headsets with your video game console systems (or PCs) for augmented video gaming experiences, not to mention complete self-contained AR games. Augmented concert experiences will be a thing. Museum augmented tours instead of your basic audio tour.

- germinalphrase 9y agoEntertainment is wonderful, but as a k12 teacher I simply look forward to improving live knowledge of, and communication with, my students. My job - or at least my 'face time' with students - is performance based and logistically constrained. Better tools to understand student progress and extend the variety of communications I have to guide and assist them would certainly help improve my professional practice.
