- emteycz 5y agoWell that's on them, nobody in their right mind would say that people are gonna like having big bulky computer thingy on their head. That doesn't mean we won't be getting laser retinal projection in the next 10-20 years.
- edhelas 5y agoThat doesn't mean it will also not happen :) Hoping for a technology doesn't make it appear one day.
- RedBeetDeadpool 5y agoI actually like this answer. While I think the fact that "Meta" is now focusing on this feeds into a lot of hype, I don't think they are too far off base. The technology is finally getting usable, and the technology ecosystem necessary to allow it to be useful is mostly there. My analogy to this is that its in the brick phone phase of the mid 80's. Functional, bulky, seen as either a toy/gag, but has a core demographic of power users.

- ivan_gammel 5y agoIn 2030 we will be finally talking about going to mass market with AR and wider adoption by professionals and it will take another 10-15 years for it to become ubiquitous. VR will never be a thing outside of gaming, porn and education.
- jimmySixDOF 5y agoI know this was intended with /s but XR, as in spatial computing embodied experience and the ability to overlay digital information onto your field of vision, is about to become a whole new sector of capability. The number of previous false dawn projections is not relevant at this point. So many PC type interactions we do in 2D today will be both more functional and more lovely to use when mapped into 3D space.
