So I kinda want spatial computing without the device on your face, which is basically an impossibility

20 years at the longest. clamshell ibook was released in 1999, iphone 2007. eight years betwen a laptop and a computer in your pocket.

True!! Though the path from cel phone to smart phone was a little more clear I feel like the solution for spatial computing without device on face is truly some sci fi shit like a chip in your brain. That feels less certain / clear to me Maybe I suffer from lack of imagination 😝

just realism! big leap from "this technology exists" to "people totally want this". not entirely sure these vr goggles are anything more than a great way to watch tv

Yeah. It’s gonna be interesting to see this play out. Everyone is impressed w this thing… but no one I know wants to pay for one / can see a killer use case (even the fan boys).

Staring at a screen has a this weird effect of pulling me out of the present which can leave me feeling discombobulated Not totally excited by having a ski goggle computer strapped to my face though. Seems like it it puts a barrier between you and surrounds just like a screen
