Or lonely or bored. Want a cyberpunk cyborg dog that can speak in a voice of darth vader? Want Cara Delevingne to be your english lang tutor? Want to pair program with Linus Torvalds? Want Neytiri from Avatar to be your personal Yoga instructor?
No but I heard Alexa had proved useful for elderly loneliness and I imagine this tech will improve there - I agree I don’t see them sat in an Oculus at a gaming rig lol
I find it hard to believe that you can not come up with a single AR scenario that will either make learning process, work process or entertainment option more fun.
For me, I think it's that I consume text much faster than e.g. video or someone talking, and it doesn't distract me.
I just want to be left alone when I want to focus and learn things. I love using ChatGPT to explore a subject now, though, because it's pure text and I am driving it, so I can totally see people who are more visual and social learners want something similar "packaged up" in an avatar.
isn't this about vr rather than ar? i can certainly think about situations where ar would be useful, though none have been demonstrated to be viable yet - rather the reverse when you think of things like google glass.
i don't think that, lovely though she is, i wan't cara to pop up in my glasses (which, because of bad eyesight, i wear all the time) and no, i do not think we have the technology, particularly batteries.
i will admit that if i could ask my glasses "where is the nearest atm?" and it then popped up an arrow pointing at it, i might pay for that. but that means stuffing a lot of hardware into the frames - about the equivalent of a high-end smartphone.
