It's an entirely new category. When you're an Apple or Facebook, there isn't much further you can go with mobile phones or violating users' privacy respectively, so you need to explore new markets to expand.
IMO AR is the truly useful application of the technology, but the hardware needs to be basically goggles that can stay on your head all day and we're nowhere near that. VR is primarily useful for videogames and porn. Lots of money in gaming and porn, but not widely applicable like a HUD visible at all times.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoI’m with you on AR being truly useful. If that ball could be knocked out of the park, the implications for countless activities would be huge. Imagine you wanted to build a geodesic greenhouse and your vision could be populated with the pieces you need next, where they go, hardware you need, where parts were last seen, etc. My brain would benefit so much from being kept on track like that.
