On the plus side, this means we are much more likely now to get actually awesome prosumer/consumer-grade AR systems with many of the current issues worked out in the next N years. It's starting to get to a point where, though it's still kind of lame, you can see how it would be awesome, but still needs $B of R&D so... I'll take it.
- blunte 6y agoSure, but the process of getting there will either directly physically harm some humans or just otherwise be highly financially inefficient (in the case of developing wartime technologies which have no wartime purpose).
- megaman821 6y agoThese aren't bombs. A heads-up-display has more chance keeping infantry safe and reducing the chances of misidentifying an innocent bystander as an enemy combatant.
- blunte 6y agoIf infantry are more safe, they are more likely to be deployed. This merely prolongs the greater problem. I want everyone to be safe, but rather than providing various safeguards and defenses, I suggest we avoid the conflict entirely. Workplace accidents are still quite common, and that's a place that could benefit from heads-up AR type aids.
- verdverm 6y agoHL2 is the best device I've ever used, the future is definitely AR. Once you try it you will never want to have a smartphone again. Smart glasses all the way. MSFT just needs to miniaturize at this point, the UX is already there
- encryptluks2 6y agoYes, you now have a much bigger chance of getting your proprietary AR headset for $499 linked to your microsoft.com account with the development paid for by US tax dollars used to kill children in Yemen with drones.
