Thanks, but those aren't my personal wishes. I own both vr as well as ar domains. Although not conclusive, things like Youtube comments do give you a sense of how people will perceive things. Most people are like "No I don't want notifications thrown at my retina". AR on the consumer side is still unproven and has only hype to show as of now. VR on the other hand has been continuously on the rise and the forward path of vr is much more clearer.
Well, I think the monetization is the only thing that will bring the tech forward in a mainstream way.
Why else would you invest so much into getting it right. Making money long term.
Sales of any electronics is a short lived proposition from the start. Continuous high re-investment to stay on top of your game, or drop out.
I doubt it will be as bad as those predicted. but it is funny and we all know there will be those that push that envelope where they can get away with it.
It must be useful or nobody would use it.
I think of it as walking down a city street and as you near the hamburger joint,
a pop-up may tell you of a eat special.
Or being in the grand canyon and have ancient/historic sights pointed out to you.
But if they can't monetize it, very little incentive to do it.
Some of it may be a service paid separate. Like having on screen stats of the players of a baseball game as you watch it live on the field. I can see the NBA or NFL doing that.
Most of it will require 5G cell service to do effectively live.
My issue at the present is that I can't see a path for names on what I just spoke about inside of appl, but, it will be those startups providing services and apps that will need a brand. That's a hard nut to crack.
