I really can’t stand him, he’s so hardball. Survival of the fittest etc. I wouldn’t consider him an authority.
I do think VR has its place, just not in every living room or every metro car. It was way overhyped but I do think it adds value in some cases.
AR probably even more. The stupid thing is just that Meta and Google always stick cameras on them. A heads up display in glasses would be useful in many cases. The camera id never use but it makes it insta creepy. Of course these companies are super creepy already too.
I liked ready player one a lot more though it was a bit of a nerd circlejerk.
I don’t see a point to AR without cameras. Text translation and context-based information are all I would want, maybe a navigation aid, everything else just seems annoying to have right in front of me.
Other than a steering wheel, I would put a vr headset as critical for a racing Sim setup. I can’t go back to screens after that level of immersion. Its so insane being able to stick your head out of the window while you’re drifting. I’d take a quest 2 over the most expensive screens you can buy.
Edit: also flying sims, especially dog fighting. You have to really be able to look around and vr makes that possible. Before that you would have to build one of those bubbles with a projector and it would look so shit.
AR without cameras is kind of pointless, imo. The creep factor is huge, though. It would be reasonable (not easy, but reasonable) if people could curate what information about themselves was available to whom, but that would preclude the corporations having access to whatever information they could glean about everyone. And if they have it, why couldn’t they provide it to whoever is willing to pay them a small monthly fee for it?
Until that problem is solved, AR is going to be a very tough sell.
