Really? Who thinks this in 2023? I thought it was a fun little demo back then, but that was it. Both then and now I just want AR as the default for everything and for screens to die already. We've had the tech for it since then too, but not enough demand from general consumers.
- pugworthy 4y agoAR as in overlay on what you're looking at, or VR as in replace everything you're looking at?
- sublinear 4y agoI didn't even mention VR and I am so beyond tired of it being brought up every time AR is. I said AR because I meant AR.
- pugworthy 4y agoIt would take some serious overlay resolution to replace a monitor, which just doesn't exist right now (?). If the angular size of a pixel is too large, it's essentially like being nearsighted. A person with 20/20 vision can see detail down to the eye forming an angle of 5 arc minute (1 arc minute = 1/60 of a degree).
