    I don’t think that this catches on. However, the second this is included with lenses that act as transparent screens for AR stuff, it’ll be flying off the shelves. No, not the very first model, not the second probably, but the one made by a large corporation that actually does it well.

    Though tbh just the lenses / screens would do it, camera is just extra. So I actually think first they will get the lenses done and camera stuff ia added later when the rest is already commonly used.

      How are you supposed to do AR without the camera? The computer has to know the environment it is supposed to augment. Even though if you mean recording doesn’t have to be part of the camera I would agree.

        I was more thinking of it being like a heads up display you know? It wouldn’t be AR at that point sure, just a screen.

          I don’t really see a screen with a transparent background that is constantly in front of your face catching on unless it is used for AR.

            I disagree, I’d get one if I could use it as a second monitor! Though if you can’t navigate in the “screen”, then it could be difficult. But yeah AR definitely would make things muuuch more interesting.

        Isn’t that pretty much how every AR headset works when you put your phone in it?

        That’s basically how VR works now, is, it not?
