The cool thing about AR is you can think of any single app and it could be a killer app people would pay for. Imagine eye glasses that allowed you to just "zoom in" by clicking your fingers. Or glasses that seamlessly translate wr

How do you realistically expect to prevent a company (that uses facial recognition for perhaps useful features e.g. tagging) from scanning your face? For it to know that the pixels it sees is your face, it has to have a model of your face s

80Hz is not "Definitely" to low. I use Oculus Go with a 60Hz refresh rate and have no issues. Its true that some will get motion sickness at 80Hz, but most will not. It will of course be more apparent in high speed games
