I find it hard to believe that you can not come up with a single AR scenario that will either make learning process, work process or entertainment option more fun.

I'd rather just have a real person or go it alone.

Maybe I'm too old or too anti-social, but using an AR or VR for those things seems kind of sad and depressing to me.

For me, I think it's that I consume text much faster than e.g. video or someone talking, and it doesn't distract me.

I just want to be left alone when I want to focus and learn things. I love using ChatGPT to explore a subject now, though, because it's pure text and I am driving it, so I can totally see people who are more visual and social learners want something similar "packaged up" in an avatar.

isn't this about vr rather than ar? i can certainly think about situations where ar would be useful, though none have been demonstrated to be viable yet - rather the reverse when you think of things like google glass.

The whole premise of my comment Meta, Disney etc overfocused on VR when AR will be way bigger market and we have the tech that will make it viable.

i don't think that, lovely though she is, i wan't cara to pop up in my glasses (which, because of bad eyesight, i wear all the time) and no, i do not think we have the technology, particularly batteries.

i will admit that if i could ask my glasses "where is the nearest atm?" and it then popped up an arrow pointing at it, i might pay for that. but that means stuffing a lot of hardware into the frames - about the equivalent of a high-end smartphone.
