strapping goggles to my head to send an email sounds like what my personal hell is going to be like
imo VR is fun for games but beyond that it’s too dystopic for my taste lol
For myself, the answer is no. Something lightweight and comparable to spactacles I might wear. Anything heavier which needs to be strapped on I would not use.
The thing is. If you’re in a tropical country.
Yes that’s it. The sweat, the rashes. The smelly goggles from the dried sweat.
I think it needs to be a set of glasses and we need better battery tech before that can really happen. Solid state batteries will be needed since their energy density is so much higher. As a low vision user i can think of an immediate use as a magnification device. Actual magnifiers dont work well for me but software magnification does. Therefore i could magnify my surroundings to read signs, etc.
I totally agree with this. I think Google was ahead of its time with Google Glass and I think something like that could catch on in a future where the hardware and software are more robust. Driving/walking directions, real time translation…some great potential for useful applications!
Google glass was my thought too. It was just way ahead of its time, but google absolutely had the right idea
