It's exciting to see that there's companies other than Facebook out there doing this kind of experimentation and research. "Realistic" VR, if it can be pulled off, will be the next frontier of computing. I'm more sceptical of AR because it is much harder to achieve and not as useful in my opinion.
- heyitsguay 5y agoWhy not useful? It seems to me that AR is indeed much harder to achieve (well), but incredibly more useful than VR.
- jayd16 5y agoBy definition the useful parts of AR are virtual. There is a large overlap in AR and VR ux. AR let's you compute on the go but how useful is that really? If virtual interactions are productive wouldn't you setup a space a la desktop computing? That said AR includes other tech like environment understanding that you might consider much more useful than immersive visuals and spatial interactions alone. I can see both sides and I expect things to move hand in hand.
- djrogers 5y ago> not as useful in my opinion As someone who spends less than 51% of my waking hours staring at a computer, I strongly disagree with this assertion. Vr has the potential to change the way I use my computer, but AR has the potential to change the way I perceive and interact with the rest of the world.
- wongarsu 5y agoAR with the eye tracking necessary for foveating has the potential to completely replace smartphones, just control a virtual display with your eyes. And that's one of the less interesting applications. I'm willing to bet AR is the future (but I'm not at all willing to bet when that future will be)
