The mistake being made is that audio based AR is here and practical, if underutilized. Apple’s transparency mode (and competitor equivalents) is a critical innovation both on usability and social acceptance levels. It supports the blending of digital augmentations on the real world. Audio based AR is also free of many social signs that visual AR systems have struggle with. In particular, I work with teenagers and there seems to be little stigma around holding a conversation with earbuds in place.

But I'm also the kind of person who takes my sunglasses off when I'm talking face-to-face with other people.
- germinalphrase 6y agoI find it rude as well, but it’s an important point for those producing AR tech to de-stigmatize.
