I’m really excited by the idea of spatial computing… which feels like it could give you the power of computers while allowing you to stay present in your physical environment.

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 😝

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).

And maybe Humane got it right and the future of personal computing is sorta invisible and mostly voice interface rather than augmenting reality. I got to say, I find the former more appealing (even though makes most of my design skills redundant 😝)
