[@GorilieVR]

This makes me very happy since I've been preaching for years that the only way to achieve mass adoption for AR/VR is to offload compute from the glasses to an intermediate device + cloud computing so the glasses can be extremely sleek and unobtrusive with all-day battery power. Next I want wrap-around glasses like Star Trek for total immersion🎉

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

I'm assuming in 3 years we'll see a high end premuim model, that will be for the early adopters, to help iron out the software, followed by a lower end model a year later that has a richer experience and better price point.

[@Deja117]

If you want something like that today, there's companys like Viture, Xreal, Vuzix or Oppo that have been in this space for a while now. Honestly, AR glasses aren't anything crazy new, the biggest thing these offer are the lenses, more expensive hardware (better camera and projector quality), and the wristband thing. While you're at it, check North Focals too. Google bought them after the Google Glass failed horribly.

Yes! We're getting there. Get them slightly smaller and add a bunch of applications for it and I think it will become very popular tech. I think we'll see AR in our car windshields giving us a constant stream of information, including GPS directly in front of you instead of down to the right on a screen you have to look away to see. Windows in homes letting you know the temperature outside, pollen/allergy levels, the state of your home security system, the ability to zoom in like a camera, all sorts of uses. If solid state batteries come to market and work as well as they're claimed to, that will also revolutionize what's possible for small tech like AR glasses

[@frankieinjapan]

Honestly, after getting a Quest 3, i was completely blown away with the mixed reality. Yes the passthrough quality is awful, but i was walking around my house with a computer on my head, and leaving screens around the building. I can definitely see this being the future. Considering we have super computers in our pocket (relatively speaking), all we need is the glasses, and some kind of solid wireless connectivity. I'll 100% jump in then.

Nice to see their prototype and hear their ideas and reasoning. Smart glasses still need to focus on being comfortable to wear, though. Meta’s glasses look a bit bulky, but that’s just my guess. I’m currently using a pair that combines my prescription glasses with smart features, and so far, it’s been pretty solid. The promised features like notifications, note-taking, and translation all work well. It’s got a different vibe compared to Meta’s style. You guys can check it out if interested, it’s called Even Realities.

[@michaeldavidryandanielpaul1990]

Oh my God, I love Buddy Holly! 😎

[@bungalowfeuhler1541]

I’ve been thinking all along that the only way that VR/AR will ever truly take off is if it’s done with standard glasses/sunglasses that project objects into the real world. Those objects must stay in the exact same place, even if you don’t use them for a month. And they need to be visible to every user occupying the space. So we can put shopping lists on our fridge that the whole family can add to and the person doing the shopping can then view them at the store. I can decorate my living room with Christmas lights or pieces of art and my family will come home and see them too. We could get rid of all of our screens and just have AR ones. When I turn on my Platstation, I could play it on a screen that nobody else sees or I could play multiplayer with a family member who’s in another room.

[@antoniobutcher]

spot on

"Why are your glasses so thick?" "For watching porn."

Funny how we have all the Tech Pieces required for a Real Life Iron Man suit but most of them aren’t Advanced enough to put everything together in a Suit yet. We have Nanotech but it’s bloody expensive and rigid, We have The HUD and Software and Helmet that works, The Jetpacks we have nowadays are only slightly advanced than they were in the 80s and they’re pretty rigid and restrictive too and they can barely lift their own weight, We have Super Strong batteries tho but nothing even close to the arc reactor in such a small size, The Exo suits the Military have access to are pretty cool but also pretty weak and much more of a struggle to work with. So all the Tech’s there but we can put all of it together YET, and it probably aesthetically doesn’t look like the Movies all that much…much more Tactical and less Flamboyant.
