This might be a neat interface for tachyon pulse sensors or things like that, but without those most of us live in a universe where they don’t really have a point.

Did anyone else read that headline as “Meta shows off Onion augmented reality glasses”? Like, you look around at the world thru them, and it feeds you The Onion’s version. Sort of like They Live…
…but instead revealing the ridiculousness inherent in the sysyem.
Seemed too cool/useful to have come from Meta though, & that’s when I (correctly) re-read the headline.
(Edit for spelinng etc.)

i really think the most useful applications would be for manual labor, and not for consumers or techies. mainly because they keep your hands free, and the people who least needs their hands free are sitting at a computer, or on their phone
having the manual for the car you’re working on, instructions for the product you’re assembling, plans for your construction site, or a map of the amazon warehouse hellscape. things like that
if there are any consumer or entertainment possibilities beyond pokemon go, i think they’re more likely to come after usefulness at work than before

totally. there hasn’t yet been a technology yet, i think, which hasn’t been directed against the many by the few

I have a Quest 3, and it’s a fun toy. I play a couple D&D type dungeon crawl games that are great for what they are, but the device really doesn’t work the way I was hoping to use it. The closest thing I’ve found are Gravity Brush, and an app that lets me walk around my SketchUp creations.
When Blender, ZBrush, and some good CAD/CAM software run natively on a VR platform, that will be the real game changer. That’s the point when it becomes a serious productivity/creative tool instead of a game console.

Demeo, I’m guessing? Other than Half-Life: Alyx, it’s the only game I’ve played regularly over the last few years on my Quest 2. It seems to be the killer app for VR.
I’ve got a PSVR2, but let me tell you, Batman and Assassin’s Creed has me seriously looking at a Quest 3.
The one I’m doing now is Dungeons of Eternity. It’s a little repetitive hack & slash, but exactly the sort of thing I was looking for to hop on for an hour or so at a time.
I had originally bought the headset hoping to use it for No Man’s Sky, but it doesn’t play nice with Mac.

The Magic Leap 2 uses a segmented dimmer to allow for blacks / dark colors or high opacity brighter colors. It’s a fair bet that Meta is doing the same. Can’t rule out that some of the images they’re handing off are simulated, but they handed the glasses off to a decent handful of outsiders who reported back that they worked well. So it seems like they more or less do what they claim they do.

I need to give that one another try - I haven’t made it past the training level yet
