Apple users will want whatever apple tell them to want
No one talks about how bad it is to have tons of little LEDs in your eyes. My eyes are already messed up, and I can’t use VR for more than an hour before I feel like I want to die. So it’s a HARD pass from people like me. Talk to me once you put screens in the walls, not on them.
If the technology was to become widespread it would have to do better than “silly digital ski goggles” anyway. I wear glasses, I wouldn’t mind slightly bulkier glasses if in exchange I can get a heads-up display telling me what the name of that person who’s greeting me that I should totally know the name of but have forgotten right now.
I’m the other way on this one. The idea of having an always-on HUD, while convenient, seems far more dystopian than a nifty toy to watch immersive movies on and play interesting games on when I get home. I know it’s an unpopular opinion around here, but I for one am excited to see computing take on different HIDs. The thought of an infinitely large canvas to compute on appeals to me, while an always-with-me wearable does not.
I like having a disproportionately powerful computing device at home. When I’m out, I’ll bring my analogue watch and an outdated smartphone to text people and read articles. When I’m computing, I go all out. When I’m not, I’m not.
No for one simple reason: I have a wife. We like to experience content together (watching movies/TV, playing games). None of which I can do without not one but two of these things. No thanks.
It’s funny how obvious this point is and yet it seems to be getting kind of quietly ignored.
For all the faults Google glass had, at least they were similar in size to regular glasses. I would only consider these things if they were as non-intrusive as possible, aka not ski goggles
