It’s a bummer than those sound like bad things simply because corporate abuse is always a forgone conclusion. If your data was truly private and always entirely under your control and ONLY your control, those would be really attractive features.
Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 week agoThis AR obsession is utterly baffling to me.

It’s a mobile phone you don’t need to hold.

It’s a mobile phone that never goes in your pocket.

It’s a mobile phone that is always on and has access to everything you see and hear.

Totally. I’d also love to train a LLM on my own personal data and preferences, but there is no way I’m trusting a corporation that information.

Some implementations also have the problem of constantly pointing cameras at non-consenting passers-by.

Exactly, it’s literally just the next step more convenient than a smartphone. You know how many people have neck and back problems now from smartphones? Not having to look at your hands or even hold anything in your hands is going to be so much better. Not having to pull your phone out of your pocket for a map or a web search or a text or to translate stuff(visual or audio). Having both hands free while doing the things your current phone does, or new things a current phone can’t do.
It’s going to be so much nicer, and sure, the first one is gonna be expensive and not perfect, but it only needs nerds to start with anyway. We’ll make sure it gets to a point where it doesn’t annoy normal people and offers real value. And while the most popular ones will inevitably be the ones made with walled gardens like apple and meta, there will be good ones too for us nerds to move to once we have finished beta testing the mass market ones for you guys.
It’s the same as every tech product cycle. You know the main thing preventing wider adoption of VR/MR/XR right now? Headsets don’t look cool… so, once they are a pair of glasses, or sun glasses, the main barrier is gone. Can’t say people wouldn’t spend 500$ to 2000$ on something as un-necessary as a smartphone every couple of years. They very much do. And if you no longer need to buy or carry a smartphone, all of a sudden you got exactly that amount of money in your pocket.

I want an open source version of this www.evenrealities.com
Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yeah, open source third party ones come a little later. But they will come.

It’s also a device that can literally put your imagination in front of you in the real world.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 week ago
A corporate marketers imagination. Yes.

Sounds like a fucking nightmare, but a wet dream to Big Trch.

That’s pill. They just have to sugar coat it enough for everyone to swallow it (like we did with phones).
