This could also be the breakout app for AI. While AR glasses obviously need shape recognition and manipulation, the real world has many many more things than likely to be codified. How do you deal with that? AI. How do you do arbitrary summaries of whatever you’re looking at? AI. How do you interact with the glasses and the real world? Speech recognition and AI.
You heard it here first, folks. Two hot new technologies with no real use yet will find each other and turn into something useful
I mean, technically, we heard it first at the demonstrations of the meta and google glasses, where that is exactly the main use of them demonstrated. But they also do smartphone stuff. Like project directions when looking straight ahead, and a map when glancing downwards. Or translate stuff you are looking at. Their AI stuff was like, "Where did I leave my keys?", "Can you play me the first song off this album(while holding a record)?", and they also did more general memory stuff like "what was the title of the white book on the shelf?".
But yeah, even "indoor" VR headsets have an AI assistant on them now that can help with context aware intelligence. Like "What is this thing I'm looking at?" And it can be used in both the real world and the virtual world. Like, "Is this everything I need to bake a cake?" or "how do I kill this boss?" See, real world and virtual world... lol. Or like, "Can you give me a hint on this puzzle? Not too big of a hint though.".
I just personally don't like asking questions out loud.
