There's already AR on phones, and it's never really taken off. If you need comedy/expensive glasses for it it's always going to be a niche market comprised of people who don't think they look bad. AR is already here for audio (turn by turn directions) but I can't see it taking off visually outside of people such as gamers who are already using it.
- crooked-v 7y ago> comprised of people who don't think they look bad I quite like the look of the Magic Leap glasses. They've got a real wild 'retro spaceman' vibe. https://i.imgur.com/kA3UaNY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kA3UaNY.jpg
- the_gastropod 7y agoI mostly agree with you. But Apple almost never invents new things. They just greatly improve existing things. There were smart watches before the Apple Watch. There were smartphones before the iPhone. There were MP3 players before the iPod. Just because AR exists and isn't widely used today isn't really proof that there's no potential there.
