I have long been skeptical of AI/AR because I also don’t feel like being strapped in like that. But I can see this as being useful for dedicated tasks: surgeons, building or repairing a PC, inspecting a buildings. It will be more of a professional tool than consumer tool I think.
- surgical_fire 3y ago> But I can see this as being useful for dedicated tasks Possibly, but Oculus already exists, and has existed for a while. Did this market materialize? Honest question, I don't follow Meta/Oculus news closely.
- 01acheru 3y agoI have no opinion on this device or the Oculus, the thing I can say is that the Oculus is not an AR device, only VR.
- surgical_fire 3y agoYeah... I have some news for you: https://www.google.com/glass/start/ https://www.google.com/glass/start/
- scottiebarnes 3y agoShrug. What's the purpose of a smug attitude? You did none of the work, you have nothing at stake. Just sitting in the stands, talking about how you would have thrown the ball better.
- surgical_fire 3y ago> talking about how you would have thrown the ball better. I did no such thing. In fact, I said that I disagree that this is a DoA product. Apple will probably rake in some cash with this.
- 01acheru 3y agoI don't understand your reply. You talked about the difference between the Vision and the Oculus, and then reply with a link to the discontinued Google Glass?
- surgical_fire 3y agoI asked if the business market for those devices ever materialized. You replied that Oculus is just VR, while the Apple thing is also AR. I pointed out that Google Glass (which was an AR device focused on business customers) was discontinued. It seems that this market either does not exist, or is far too small to be meaningful for those trillion dollar companies.
