But the Hololens were chunky af, it’s like comparing a 1960s phone with a 2008 iPhone, the first iPhone wasn’t as good as the ones we have today, but it was the start of something much bigger, just like this.
I think, as an everyday device and not a 'Calgon, Take me Away' immersive headset, in practice I might actually welcome limiting what can be digitally forced into my field of view so I don't have to futz with the glasses to see realspace objects. Just turn my head slightly and get any vision-occluding content out of my center of focus for a moment without UI fumbling or taking them off altogether. 45 deg. might be ideal.
The hand targeting for the "mouse" here seems so much more intuitive than the eye-based mouse the Vision Pro went with. People don't typically look exactly what they're about to click, at least not through the entire action. The Snap allows for that. Really hope this becomes the baseline that everyone copies.
yeap, using quest 3 for 9 months now and clicking things with hand cursor is so much better especially with 2 hand use, you can literallly use 2 mouse at the same time and it gives so much freedom for things like scrolling, adjusting windows etc.
I'm so glad it's getting better and they kept improving this form factor. I hope all mixed reality stuff like apple vision, meta quest etc all get to be smart glasses.
you nailed it. They do seem to have put a lot of effort into the framework of the controls for the whole product. Hats off to them for that. The hand tracking is impressive too. But even the biggest companies make this mistake of making an interesting framework but providing no answers in app form as to why you would want this on your glasses and not just on your phone. Looks like its early enough that a lot could change there, I just hated that generative demo so much it immediately put me off.
The generative Ai aspect is integrated, so that general public users can produce their own 3D assets without having to make the 3D models themselves. Its about democratizing the means of 3D model production so that everyone can enjoy the wonder of spatial-computing/Augmented Reality. AR is pointless without having 3D models to put within the space. Think about it this way, imagine how frustrating it would be go have to make your own clothes. Thank God for retail right? That's what generative 3D modelling is doing here. Some food for thought.
The battery life is what killed it for me at 45 minutes. My meta raybans are 60 minutes with a quick wireless charge, and I still wish they’d last longer.
@n_r49 your meta ray bans don't have a display actively placing 3D objects and overlays on stuff. The next iteration might, but that will come with a power trade off.

And this is useful why? Google glass did this ages ago, as are a whole bunch of other people, but as yet nobody has come up with anything useful to do with these glasses. And they look pretty dark so I wouldn't want to be using them indoors because everything else would be in deep darkness. Maybe real time language translation but since I'm not a tourist that's not useful to me, and they didn't show that off anyway. But gosh darn it doesn't that cowboy frog get you all excited.
I like the idea of them being able to do everything your phone can, without having to look down at a small screen. Can be used as a PC monitor or a TV too. The generative AI stuff doesn't interest me, but I can think of lots of things these could be used for.

With smart glasses you can navigate locations without looking down at your phone, you could see information about nearby things as you walk by them, Smart glasses could help visually impaired individuals by highlighting obstacles, reading signs, or recognizing people and objects using AI.
@@ViceZone In theory, yes. But these glasses appear to be very dark, and have a limited view angle. I suspect in practice they would be impractical for such applications. I know what the dream product is, but the reality that people keep offering us is somewhat different.

I love VR but if your're walking around in the real world, you need AR. It will be great, just needs time, this is very early days, with some stupid ideas.
We are literally on the verge of an entirely new, unexplored frontier. VR/MR with AI and then add zero latency quantum cloud computing at some point and the world is just going to be figments of all our imaginations. Amazing.
@LanceThumping all I'm saying is there are still opportunities for innovation this early on before it becomes main stream. Just like the internet early in its infancy.
You can just see it's all still so clunky and gimmicky. Not ready for prime time yet. I'm sure some hipster types will lap it up as is mind you, so they'll pay to keep the progress going while the rest of us wait for the real deal. We'll get there one day though.
