This might be the dumbest take I’ve heard today.
Everything your smartphone does your laptop can do, too. Therefore, smartphones are useless!!
Everything AR can do that your smartphone can do today will be a hundred times more convenient because you don’t have to carry a slab of glass with you all the time. You just have to wear glasses. Like I already do anyway.
The only reason for smartphones to still exist in a world where AR is compact will be if we can’t figure out a way to efficiently input data without annoying everyone around us. As soon as that problem's solved, nobody will be using smartphones anymore.
Laptops can't do AR since they have no gyroscope.
This might be the dumbest take I've heard today.
You're forgetting that AR headgear requires to WEAR THAT THING ON YOUR FACE AT ALL TIMES
No matter how compact (don't even start talking about some techbro "all conteined in a lens" type of shit), there will absolutely, always be people who will refuse to wear it. (Ask any former glasses user who went for contact lenses)
A phone you glance at and is in your pocket only when you need it is a million times more convenient than something that goes over your eyes all of the time.
Your world where external compact computing devices (phone/tablet/smartwatch/a slab of glass) are no longer needed is mostly constructed out of flatulence of the technology brotherhood.
I need a good reason to spend $2000 to do something I can already do with a $100 phone. Using 2 hands is very niche.
