I don’t know if that’s the case. The issue with the VisionPro was it was more VR than AR. yes I know it was translucent but look at the headset. Looked like an oculus, clunky and blocked out a lot of your view naturally.
True AR will will be a breakthrough because it can add things seamlessly inline to your view without being obtrusive or just with a pair of natural looking glasses.
Imagine getting walking/driving directions overlaid right in your field of vision, or be at a sports game and have stats pop up above the players, or at a party and have names and LinkedIn bios displayed next to a person so you never forget. Another idea is the weather, looking up at the clouds, wondering if it is gonna rain and it overlays a Doppler radar at the right angle so you see which direction it’s going.
That’s where the goal of AR is going and it won’t really work out until they make it integrated more naturally and not just a massive head goggle.
All of these are reasons why Google Glass failed. No one wants some robot scanning everyone’s face and reporting their location to some corporation’s database in real time so that the NSA can extract that data and give it to ICE, for example.
AR seems cool but it’s a fucking dystopian nightmare.
