I fully agree, but to think XR is not going to be the next computing platform is a little surprising. A little as I remember a lot of people saying they would never carry a computer around with them too.
Comment on 4 futuristic things the Humane Ai Pin can do as a smartphone alternative

Just like the segway was going to change the way we build cities?
Or how cryptocurrencies will replace national fiat money?
Or how google glasses have already become a mainstream reality?
Or how everyone will watch TV in 3D all the time?
Or how everyone will play games in VR?
Just because a technology is possible it does not mean it will become ubiquitous.

Hey, I still believe VR is gonna happen... someday... :'(

VR has already happened. Are you referring to “deep diving” or whatever word choice you want, where you don’t need to use controllers?
Eggyhead@kbin.social 10 months ago
I don't know deep diving, I just want a standalone VR gaming headset that isn't owned by an invasive social-media corporation. Until I have something like that in my home, VR simply doesn't exist yet for me.

So if I say… “I simply want an electric vehicle with 2000km range on a single charge, and a 20m charge time. Until that exists, EVs just don’t exist yet for me.”… that means EVs haven’t happened yet?
It’s well and good that you know what you want, that doesn’t mean something hasn’t already been on market for years that fits the bill for 99% of people.

That device is coming in the coming years.
