| Me. I want all of it (except the bit where any of it comes from Facebo^H^H^H^H^H^H Meta. I am convinced AR/VR will eventually give a miles better working experience than PCs. Even sooner for mobile where you're severely limited in screen real estate already. It's nearly there now. Can't imagine it'll be more than 2 years. I am convinced that group audio/video calls are a totally different (and usually much inferior) experience to face to face meetings, even with the best 2D collaboration tools, and that VR/AR can and will (does already, to an extent) make remote face to face meetings possible for the first time. I have had some great meetings in Walkabout Mini Golf on the Quest 2 — try it! Sometimes being together is what counts, and after a while it really does _begin_ to feel that way. Even if it were only equal in experience, a desktop class experience in AR/VR will soon take up way less space than the smallest useful laptop and have all the screen space I get when sat at home. I love to travel. This will be great! And that's not to mention games (VR "toys" already often feel more immersive and compelling than most AAA games to me — on a $250 all-in-one headset that costs less than a Nintendo switch), media (ever tried watching a movie or live sport with friends in BigScreen? …it's great!), etc. I expect a lot of people will be really surprised how far this goes in the next few years, as costs come down and hardware shrinks. A lot of people get surprised by every new tech… |
