Because you're thinking of the possibilities from a very narrow angle (communication, passive media consumption, and productivity).
The educational potential for AR is absolutely incredible. Imagine being able to look down at a breadboard, and have it overlay explanations, diagrams, current flows, etc.
Imagine putting a person in front of you who is juggling (mills mess, box pattern, etc) and slowing it down to exactly see how to learn it.
Imagine being able to practice drawing by putting a model of any human in the center of your room, and walk around it as you sketch on actual canvas.
Imagine being able to head to the nearest open soccer field, and throw down a bunch of ninjas throwing ninja stars at you, and you have to physically duck and weave while running full tilt down the field.
These took me 10 seconds to think of a bunch of things that I would personally want assuming the AR glasses can eventually overcome bright light, good battery life, etc.
- ang_cire 2y agoSee, the only one there that actually sounds useful to me and not a clumsier version of something I can already do, is the breadboard. But I'd much rather have that as a holo table-like system than AR glasses: https://newatlas.com/vr/voxon-photonics-3d-hologram-volumetric-displays/ https://newatlas.com/vr/voxon-photonics-3d-hologram-volumetr...
- crabmusket 2y agoSounds like a great application of a Dynamicland-like lab system, especially in an educational environment like a university which already has a lab setup.
