#2Glass seemed so far ahead of it's time when one considers how much microsoft is investing into augmented reality and hololens.

#3More than 10 years later, it's still not good enough for business adoption? Wow. When it was first released, it was really neat. I'd imagine that we'd all be wearing AR glasses by now.

I'm not sure Microsoft is investing all that much at the moment:

Google Glass wasn't really AR, more like a smart watch taped to your face, so I can imagine there being little business adoption. HoloLens seems much more promising, but development still seems to be slow.
I'd love to see AR succeed but with the current price I doubt it'll gain popularity in the near future.

Am I the asshole here for being happy that future never came to pass?
People are already zombies addicted to their phones, tracked and monetized to hell by advertisers, so I feel like gluing it to their eyes with cameras constantly scanning everything they look at, is some dystopian nightmare I never want to see.

I would be very surprised if this weren't the case within 5-10y tops.

#8I really hope Apple can do something interesting with AR. I've tried all the major AR things (HoloLens, HoloLens 2, MagicLeap) and tons of the "smart glasses" and there's so much room for improvement.

Yeah this, for better or worse, seems inevitable as the computers in our pockets inch closer and closer to our brains where we can use them seamlessly and continually.

Yep, and I suppose it's even more likely now that GPT4 can take images as inputs.
