A call out to those of us old enough to remember that the evolution of smartphones didn't start with iPhone but much earlier with Palm and later PocketPC and Blackberries. Yes, those devices were pretty advanced for its time and seemingly "sufficient" but never really took off with consumers. Why? It was still a hassle to use them. This was before true-multittouch so touchscreen was less than accurate and more of a burden rather than a delight, the UI was made for mouse and/or tiny fingers. AR/VR is at this stage right now, sure it's cool but accessibility with that big of a thing on your head is still not quite there. I see the "iphone" moment of AR/VR closer to Meta's Rayban glasses rather than its current iteration. I know Meta is working from two ends of the spectrum but my money is on Rayban sunglasses factor getting there first, and the first and biggest killer app will be multi-modal AI.
I’m hoping to see normal looking glasses (like the Ray ban form factor) with a built in display. We’re pretty far away from that though especially considering battery life
Who owned a Casio “digital diary” here ?
Thanks for the wisdom. Kids here won’t get it
Why do ppl keep thinking it will evolve like smartphone and not like 3dtv or camcorder or dishwasher or 3d printer. Why think it will evolve like the most successful product category

Despite the shortcomings in its current form, it's still the nature evolution of our current two-dimensional digital world.
Are you an AR/VR expert? Do you happen to know what are the bottlenecks?
