    I don’t think it is an overstatement. It could mean full AR the world over. In every shop you could look at something and have a pop up with its price, allergy information, materials, place of manufacturing.

    At every sporting event you could have your own personal replays and multiple camera angles.

    While cooking you could have instructions showing you exactly where to cut, how long to pour, when and how to stir, timers for multiple bits of your cooking, see the temperature of something by looking at it.

    While repairing a car engine you could have every part being labelled for you, with detailed instructions on every single step of everything from changing the oil to rebuilding an engine.

    While driving you could see the speed of other cars, be alerted to potential hazards, see directions from your point of view.

    The limit really is the sky for AR, which is what the end goal is for smart glasses. That’s the unfathomable usefulness of the technology.

      I read your list and stand by my statement. Half the things on that list are novelties that you’d get quickly bored of, and the other half have solutions that don’t require pervert glasses. I see zero problems being solved anywhere in the list you just made.

          • Doesn’t solve a problem

          • Recording everything around you is fucking creepy

          I mean at some stage you have to start wondering about the sort of person with a less-than-one-week-old account that’s up in here defending them so vociferously. I notice you’re also in other AI threads on Lemmy being equally shilly.

            Nice gate keeping attempt.

            The only community I am subscribed to are the moment is this one. Maybe that’s why? Like you said, I’m just new.

            I’m a tech enthusiast. I love them bleeding edge of tech. I don’t look at a new tech product through the cynical lens that you clearly do. I look at it with an open mind about what it could do and what it could become. Like I said in another comment, people had these same “creep” comments and opinions about cameras on phones, but that thankfully didn’t slow down their adoption and innovation.

            Do you just accuse everyone you disagree with of being a “shill”? You have to wonder about what type of person jumps straight to that.
