I wonder if one of his themes for an augmented reality scene is naked teenage men running around for him to chase.
So what is AR? A HUD? Google glasses by another name?
I look forward to trying VR someday. AR not so much.
Augmented pr0n = no silicone required

Like Srar Trek TNG’s holodeck?
I’ve seen this movie. Think it had Bruce Willis in it.
I tend to agree. About a month ago we were in the lobby of my building and a woman I worked with showed me the pokemon go character on our marble floor, via her smart phone camera. Then she pressed a button and zapped it.
I knew right then where gaming is going. This will bi a bigger leap from current gaming than current gaming is from pong. It’s a completely new gaming paradigm.
“VR, seems to be that its applications are limited since it’s sort of antisocial to wrap a screen over your face”
Unless VR can become a glasses-free, shared experience. And that technology has existed for years. It is just too expensive up until now to be practical.
But on the acquisition side, a 3D 360 at 40K (not 4K) resolution camera exists today. It is expensive but within the budget of film and other content producers.
AR is a much bigger revenue generator for the likes of Apple. There’s potential for collection of a wealth of information about personal habits, and for presentation of laser-targeted advertising. VR, not so much.
Yeah. AppleTV. Any day now.
Or AppleAuto. Any day now.
Quik, get your new Sodomite phone!
Interesting discussion. Thanks to all posters.
