In a thought-provoking conversation during Theo Von's recent podcast, Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided a vivid glimpse into a future dominated by augmented reality (AR) technology.
Highlighting the dramatic shift toward holographic interactions, Zuckerberg emphasized that many of the physical objects we currently rely on would soon become obsolete, replaced by immersive digital alternatives.
The podcast featured a striking example described by Von, who recounted an experience playing ping pong using Meta’s new AR glasses. Notably, the ping pong table, paddles, and even the net weren't physically present — they were holograms projected through the glasses. Von humorously noted, "It wasn't real, but it was like 3D ping pong. Someone could ride their bike through our game like it wasn’t there."
Zuckerberg responded, projecting that such AR experiences could be widely available in just four years or less. He underscored the transformative potential of AR glasses, suggesting they could largely replace smartphones.
Considering 1 to 2 billion people already wear glasses, he sees AR glasses as a natural, non-disruptive progression in everyday technology use, accessible to individuals at varying technological sophistication levels.

He’s been watching too much Star Trek.
Except for the gov’t. The gov’t officials will have all the physical things.
NO, it will NOT all be holograms. What’s this fascination with simulation? AI is the latest fad. Many people are avid followers of “Virtual Reality”.
Why are they escaping from reality?
“Except for the gov’t. The gov’t officials will have all the physical things.”
And Zuckerberg...
Welcome to the holodeck.
It is just a video game. Do we really want to live in a fictional video game?
I’m glad I’m old enough to not be around for this future.
WEF and Zuck — You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Only those born into such an insane world, will be happy living in it. Zuck is spending-betting billions of Meta money, on the success of alternate realty goggles and eyewear. So he’s just talking his book, pimping his product, dumbass Alt-Reality products. Zuck calls them augmented reality (AR) technology.
That’s not something I look forward to at all.
There is a place and time for accepting imitations and proxies, but not 100% all the time.
...and Bill Gates...
Virtual possessions will be easier to control. Your home library may be deemed a terrorist cell.
Sure, I’ll willingly join the cast of The Matrix. </sarc>
Oh there is a whole bunch of them...

And they all work for BlackRock who Trump’s buddy Larry Fink heads. So this whole concept and agenda is coming from the elite top of the global food chain.
The cabinet door left open will still be open when you encounter it in the middle of the night.
I would like a chopped and channeled ‘59 Caddy. Either black or candy apple red would be fine.
“”I’m glad I’m old enough to not be around for this future.””
Same here. What would our world have been like without Zuckerberg, Gates etal? Did our ancestors feel this way about automobiles and other improvements to their lives? We don’t need our lives turned upside down to make more money for Zuckerberg and Gates...They never heard, “leave well enough alone?” Even cell phones that people are addicted to today aren’t good enough - they have to be IMPROVED with more money spent to stay even with others!
