And finally 3D x-y-z bar charts make at least a little bit of sense when you can walk around them.

Definitely yes, but you have to look at them through your phone so I'm afraid it gets tiresome quickly. It's fish for the graph + raise phone + align and walk around the graph vs seat and flip the charts around by swiping the screen. I agree with the current top poster, it's a gimmick.

It reminds me of the narrow visual field of the hololens I tried months ago. I spent half of the time turning around and moving my head up and down to look for objects. Then they were pleasantly steady once I found them but the experience doesn't compare with the visual field we're born with.

Those ARKit charts look very steady too. I assume that fixing a virtual object in space is a solved problem and it's not an easy one.

I hope we will get there... This in lightweight glasses with great field of view.
