The Google Glass mention brings back memories of that launch. The tech circles were abuzz with how revolutionary that device was going to be. It would change productivity and humanity forever!
Some people really did wear them everywhere. It was weird. And quickly stigmatized as I recall.
I don't think this is a necessary condition for AR. Just take the computer off and put it down. Or better, don't wear it to begin with.
- angry_moose 3y agoFrom what I remember, most of the stigma was always having a camera pointed directly at the person you were talking to at all times. That was just needlessly "socially aggressive" on Google's part. The tech was definitely a cool proof-of-concept and the route I wish VR/AR would have taken. AR has so many more impactful use cases - think a navigation HUD or hands-free control of music while driving/biking or doing other things with your hands.
- agentultra 3y agoThe camera was one factor and the other was the person wearing the glasses being only temporarily present at any given moment.
- CrackerNews 3y agoI remembering reading about a 90 degree FOV which if true, will limit its use for AR and wearing it all the time. The Glasshole style remarks probably won't go away with the Vision Pro either. Not to mention the potential of being robbed of the headset in public.
