I think you're right. In fact I think permanently connected AR/VR computing is the next phase after mainframe -> desktop -> laptop -> phone.
It's a good few years away - at least a decade or so. It won't happen until the hardware becomes stylish smart glasses instead of a clunky headset.
And it won't be created by Zuckerberg.
- Mindwipe 3y agoMaybe, maybe not. But Meta do have a heck of a patent portfolio for it if it happens in the next decade that will make life very hard for anyone else.
- JohnFen 3y agoUS Patents expire 20 years after first filing, so in a decade, Facebook's collection will start to enter the public domain.
- BillyTheKing 3y agoAnd the advances in generative AI are a pre-requisite for it.. just imagine people gesturing around in the air trying to create powerpoint presentations using VR/AR glasses - that just doesn't make any sense, no-one will interact with AR that way. For it to really become the next computing model it has to intuitively understand user-intend which has now become possible with generative AI. AR + generativeAI moves the interaction model from imperative to declarative, users will describe what they want (give me 10 slides with red backgrounds) instead of how to do it. imo generativeAI and LLMs will be primarily seen as a UX revolution (in light of AR)
