Maybe, it’s a while away yet though if going to be viable. I think a lot more miniaturisation is needed before AR/VR is going to win wide public appeal.

I heard about a product called Humane AI Pin recently. It’s an AI assistant device that attaches to a shirt like a pin badge, and interacts with the user though a combination of voice and a laser projector. It’s designed by two ex Apple people as it happens. I’m not entirely convinced by the concept itself but it’s a sign there are other avenues to explore.

One hurdle both of these have to overcome is the matter of always on, public facing cameras. It’s not just the technology, there are cultural challenges that will shape the post smartphone era to consider as well.

I think vision pro is the first viable AR at all, and I want it bad.

It will definitely be a while before you can actually do glasses, but I don't really see there being a lot in the mean time.

I wish the cameras were something that would cause cultural opposition, but I don't see it. What portion of the planet (or US/Europe, at least) already broadcasts everything they do on purpose (before the 500 extra trackers on every web site and spyware apps on their phone)? It's a lot. People should care about privacy, but the second it's inconvenient they stop caring.
