I'm curious of what the fully developed OS will look like for spatial computing if that's what we're calling it now. I think it will have to be built on old methods people are familiar with, like 'clicking' on something with their finger or hand, but I'm fascinated to see when someone is reading the paper newspaper and wants more detail, so they click on the 'link' (ie word/phrase) in the paper and their headset brings up a website with more detail on what they're reading. It could even be older books without any specially marked keywords or anything, as in the physical world would stay exactly the same. Perhaps with people looking at a building and 'clicking' on the building could bring up the tax map or contact info for the building, etc. As time goes by the building would be viewed from all sides, making it a truly 3D model, so you could click on it from any side. An OS on the past with the physical, based on the past with the web, but with the future integrated. I am truly excited to see this built out over the next few years.
