What will take off like wildfire is AR with glasses that look like regular glasses people wear anyway. That’s decades away.
Even Facebook doesn’t have the capital to shortcut decades of R&D on all the components that will go into making that a reality.
- ilaksh 4y agoIt's not decades. That's ludicrous. Actually those glasses exist, they just are lacking in field of view or some 3d tracking abilities. Such as the new Spectacles. There is no reason to think it will take two decades to increase the field of view.
- GianFabien 4y agoI saw AR glasses the other day (forget where) that looked almost normal, but were like $4000. The glasses are only half the issue, the other half is the CPU power required to drive them. How does a 4lb fanny pack look and feel?
- user3939382 4y agoMaybe I should clarify glasses that people want to wear-- I mean like this https://www.newsanyway.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/trac-vu-kw0AS3EUml4-unsplash-scaled.jpg https://www.newsanyway.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/trac-v... It would need to last at least 4-5 hours and probably have a 5G modem. I don't see that happening any time soon. That's to say nothing of the software side.
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoYou could probably get away with just bluetooth instead of a 5G modem since most people are already carrying around a 5G modem in their pocket.

- kyriakos 4y agoIt won't take that long. Maybe making the glasses more like a dumb terminal while the actual processing happens on a larger wearable device will allow for regular looking AR glasses to become a reality much sooner than that.
