How long before we can replace monitors with virtual monitors via AR? I feel like we take for granted that we have TVs taking up huge chunks of our living rooms and monitors of our offices. Obviously resolution is a (huge) issue. Another, for TV at least, is the communal aspect (synchronized virtual TVs, anyone?) but it seems like the future is on without physical monitors/TVs. I wonder how distant a future that is...
- rcarr 4y agoThere’s the nreal air glasses that you can buy today for £400 and some Lenovo glasses that were posted on hn recently that are coming next year. The future is already here: https://youtu.be/bj8hMtWeTUg https://youtu.be/bj8hMtWeTUg
- autoexec 4y ago> How long before we can replace monitors with virtual monitors via AR? Hopefully never. People who don't wear glasses don't need something on their face to watch TV, people who do need glasses don't need to worry about AR googles meaning they have to choose between seeing a screen clearly or everything else and nobody has to worry about the AR goggle company watching and logging everything you see and plastering everything in your line of sight with ads. I don't think physical screens are going anywhere anytime soon. I wouldn't mind having every wall in my home capable of being a screen though. Screen-as-wallpaper would be very nice since you could create smaller virtual screens on any wall wherever you needed one and it would mean you could change your wallpaper/color on a whim.
