Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 18 hours agoI’m not even a huge proponent of AR glasses, but i think that’s a pretty shortsighted view. AR/VR tech was still in its infancy when google decided to drop it, and Apple has a history of repackaging/refining products in a way that allows them to catch on.
also “forced onto consumers”? no one is being forced to buy anything, what a ridiculous take.

You are complaining about me pointing out that there is zero DEMAND for this product. Nobody is asking for “Augmented reality” or whatever. It is not innovative or moving technology forward it’s literally an excuse to harvest a million more data points per minute for no benefit to the end user.
You seriously can’t comprehend how these companies use, manipulate, and coerce you to create a false demand for this slop? There is plenty of great literature on the subject, and if you’d like I can direct you to people with expertise to explain the concepts. Just stop mindlessly accepting and defending this behavior and stand up for yourself as a consumer.

I think Lemmy is a bit of a chamber of white, technology-oriented men. People here think that most people are OK with wearing technology on their face.
Ironically, we’re also very Privacy-oriented, but everyone’s kind of forgetting all the cameras and microphones required to make all this AR tech work.
Someone put it nicely - if I see you with your Google Glass in a public toilet, you’re leaving with a bloody nose.

what does being white or male have anything to do with this?
what makes you think most people wouldn’t be ok with wearing tech on their face?
maybe you are the one forgetting that cameras and microphones are already in all the products that most people already have. how is AR any different?

wow you are an arrogant asshole.
just because you say so doesn’t mean there is no market for it.
it’s a completely new technology. the use case is still being explored. of course most average people are not waiting for it on bated breath.
show me, where exactly is this happening with AR?
stop being a mindless reactionary luddite.
