sure am excited to start seeing people walk like that outside…
Dude’s enjoying BDs on public
BDs?
Brain dances, like movies but your brain “lives” the experience, cyberpunk stuff, choom
Oh, wow! I’ve always wanted to do them.
My folks just don’t understand mountain biking and there’s so many applications where conveying ones experience would be significant.
I know it’s just a game, but maybe I should try it out…
Blueberry documentary.
Pretty interesting stuff, actually.
Also BL probably.
Saw that review.
Social politeness is already an issue. Imagine the chaos of lots of people using those and answering texts in places like doorways and stairs.
Just stopping wherever they are and chicken pecking at an imaginary keyboard(exactly as he does in the review)
I wouldn’t worry, most of em won’t survive the traffic of cars and people.
Going forward I’m just going to refuse to talk to anyone wearing headsets. You can stand there and say all you want, if you’d like to talk to me then take the headset off. I sound like a boomer that doesn’t understand wireless earbuds that pause and pass through outside audio automatically. I still take them out out of respect, though, if it’s anything more than a sentence.
I wonder how it compares to staring down at one’s phone though. At least in an AR scenario, you’re looking straight ahead right? I can both see how that could improve your spatial and social awareness, but I can also see how you could tunnel vision on your content just as easily.
When you look at your phone, I can tell you’re looking at your phone. If you’re wearing a headset I have no idea where you’re actually looking. And you could be pointing your face straight at me but completely gone watching a video or something.
Eyes are such a fundamental part of human body language. We need to be able to see each others to have effective communication.
Is that hard to imagine? I see people nearly colliding into each other in the hallway on a daily basis looking at their phones.
I think people would learn to move out of the way at that point or just use Siri to respond. That felt very much like a “first-time” faux pas when he stops on the stairs.
The weird thing is that there are already efficient gesture keyboards. It’s a weird choice by Apple to not use one.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gesture-based keyboard that worked well. Got any examples?
Didn’t think WALL-E would start so soon
Gotta, say, the barrier between you and other people by having a headset obscure most of your face, sure feels strange, as far as human interactions go. They really haven’t innovated at all in that regard, despite the promises of the virtual eyes at the front. I can’t see the technology becoming ubiquitous in daily life, until it’s nearly seamless.
Same, same. Except I can’t imagine that virtual eye thing ever being seamless.
Oh yeah, no, I don’t think anything virtual will ever make a conversation with a headset on seem natural. The best form factor I can picture is some sort of smart glasses, smart contact lenses, etc. Basically, as little obstruction as possible. Doubt it will happen anytime soon, though it is a shame development was stalled after Google Glasses’ flop.
Cyberpunk 20
7724Looks Perfect XD
All I took out from this is the FOV is so bad it’s really awkward to move around.
I will try to not use those things if I can. Maybe they become the new stereograph display visor thing that never took off.
