Technology

This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it's not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??

I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.

Being able to keep a screen in front of the user at all times is the goal. This is one step closer to replacing the eyes Cyberpunk style.

This is why Siri and Apple Intelligence is so important to Apple, getting away an actual keyboard will make this more addicting. They can decide what to show you before you even start thinking about it!

Corporations would love being able to not only know where you are at all times, but now they have the tech to see exactly what you see!

Next courageous Apple creation:

Guess what Tim Apple? No one wants them just like no one wanted your stupid headset that I honestly can't even remember what it was called.

Good, I wanna see Apple flop just like Meta's VR nonsense did.

There are a lot of things at Apple that I, as the paying customer, would rather Cook care more about than AR/VR boondoggles.

He’s f*** detached

This is just another attempt to capture even more control over our attention - advertising everywhere. Of course Apple wants it

Boringgggg, do another trick apple.

Honestly, this is probably the next game changing tech. There are lot of uses for AR. Size, style, and battery life are probably the biggest issues to overcome.

A reality distortion field that seperates a person from the real world? What could go wrong?

It's about as dystopian as it gets.

I think the fundamental problem with the AR glasses is something that can't be overcome.

I think its easy to see the utility to owning a pair of glasses that look good and provide real time information as desired for what you are looking at or hearing.

HOWEVER, I think very few people will want the product these co.panies will make. This will be a method to throw ads literally in front of your eyeballs. Enshitification is too big of a thing now and so any new product is tainted by the expectation it will rapidly turn to garbage at a high price to you.

Also, while we may think we can be trusted, we dont trust anyone else having all that info, I dont like the obvious privacy implications that these can present. Filming with them is also terrifying.

This guy is so behind the curb. Doesn't he know that the latest fad is ~~NFTs and blockchain~~ AI?
