I can't speak for VR, but AR definitively has a future.
You already see practical use of this technology with HUD-tech (Heads up display) in cars, but beyond that you'll find great applications for it within medicine/operations, transportation (directions), marketing (product information, authenticity verification), and the list goes on and on...
- tsimionescu 5y agoYes, AR has some potential as an industrial or otherwise specialized technology. It won't be revolutionary or change the world in any way, but it will probably improve several kinds of processes, a background tech. VR is much more likely to either become the new TV or to die an obscure death, like 3D movies.
- kazen44 5y agoVR becoming the new TV is highly unlikely because many people multitask while watching TV. this is very difficult to do with VR.
- pintxo 5y agoYou could multitask in VR, without even anyone noticing?
- tsimionescu 5y agoHow can you wash dishes while your entire view field is covered by some movie?
- pintxo 5y agoI was more thinking about the "second screen" multitasking that's quite common. With VR, the second screen is like build-in.
- tsimionescu 5y agoI was thinking more of TV in the way it captured audiences in the 50s, 60s, 70s. You're probably right though that AR has a bigger chance of capturing something like the way TV is interacted with today (a background activity).
