Apple May Launch Augmented Reality Headset With Custom 'rOS' Operating System by 2020

Good point.

I also think safety things will be put in place too. Like a big red WARNING flashing when you're trying to step in front of a car on the street. You'll notice this WARNING because it's right in your view.

Or you could just notice theres a car ...and not walk in front of it. But why do that when you can pay Apple $1000 to flash a WARNING sign right?!

You're right, but actually the HoloLens already has the ability to create solid object you can't see through.

Sure.

Again... I was addressing the idea of floating virtual screens where you see background action as depicted in movies. It's a strange idea [to me]

I'll stick with nice big monitors.

Yeah. And if the mega corporations that are stockpiling billions of Dollars in cash were forced to put a percentage of those stockpiles into research for the common good, we might already have such a cure or at least be a good deal closer to it.

But we don't live in a communist society - companies already pay taxes (not enough in some cases) which can be used for this.

Watch a sporting event from the 1980s, then watch one from today.

When watching American Football, I had to wait until the commercial break to find out the score, the quarter and the time remaining. It was rarely shown during the game. Now, constantly on the screen is a display of the score, time remaining, quarter, down and distance, other scores, player stats, etc.

Much like video games have all sorts of hearts, lives, scores or statistics all over the screen, I think our lives will have the same sorts of stuff, and we'll get used to it.

Yes but all the sporting stuff still occurs on a screen as far as those advancements you mention.

I want this for when I am at a live game - I want the stats on certain players, I want to know who has the ball from the other team (the one I haven't memorised as they are not my team), why certain decisions were made by the umpires. Lots of things to enhance the experience.

Or you could just notice theres a car ...and not walk in front of it. But why do that when you can pay Apple $1000 to flash a WARNING sign right?!

Sometimes people miss things and a helping hand doesn't hurt...

This is fascinating reading - the people "against" this seem to look at each individual use case and dismiss the $1,000 product as the use case doesn't seem worth $1,000.

For me this would be worth the sum of the many single use cases that have been presented.

As part of my role I meet hundreds of people across my organisation - they tend to remember me due the nature of my job but having visual prompts as met them again would be great.

It is now 2022 and we are still waiting.....

And we will be waiting a lot longer I suspect
