Technology

True, but understand, every wireless-connected smart device you wear or interact with in any way is doing the same.

Meta's nonsense isn't unique, and should be regulated into nonexistence, but unless you're keeping your phone in a Faraday bag you too are being constantly filmed, tracked, and snooped upon.

Not actually what they said, though.

I picked up the Viture Luma Cyberpunk edition for like $550 USD, they're sold out now but so far I think they're okay. They definitely don't fully live up to the hype but that's part of being an early adopter in the enthusiast space I guess. The app kinda sucks and it's seriously limited, so if you're looking for that 3DoF or lightweight use on the 180VR you'll be out of luck there. The immersive 3d is a neat party trick and seems to work well enough. I like that function for showing off videos that I've taken while traveling or at work. They have built in diopters so you can get the focus right while you're using them as a follow screen. For watching movies or playing games on your tablet while traveling, I think they'll be hard to beat. They have apps for android, windows, ios, and mac. I haven't tried them on PC yet but I'm hoping the pc app is far more flushed out. So far, comfort is pretty good and it seems like they'll be okay for burning a few hours. I also work in a remote location with frequent weather days, so having a private method of watching big screen content in my cabin was a big selling point for me.

Overall, neat little device, but it's definitely quite early in the product development cycle and I'm excited to see what the next few years hold.

Sorry for the incoherent bits and poor formatting, I'm actively falling asleep while typing this out. I'll be more than happy to answer any additional follow-up questions you may have when I'm fully awake.

It's already used in construction as a documentation device. Photos are big as a documentation tool and some inspectors already use wearable cameras as a tool.

I always wanted to build an AR app for inside data centers. Imagine looking at a server and being able to open a terminal or desktop that you can immediately interact with on the floor. or have it display resource information like hardware utilization, temps, network throughput and configuration, etc.

it would make a difficult job just bit more manageable.

I'm in the AEC industry. Almost any implementation of on site augmentation sucks ass most especially because the tech nerds making them have a really hard time truly understanding the needs OF tradespeople and installers.

Almost all of them are top down implementations meant to assess tooling and field quality rather than actually acting as an overlay aid in construction (which, like, 90% of tradespeople worth their salt don't actually need FYI).

Also, I've found, most of these tech nerds making this shit don't know how to actually put a building together and are constantly flummoxed by the methodology.

Tbh I don't even mind cameras that much if they were entirely controlled by the individuals themselves. I have a much bigger issue with it when you're streaming my facial recognition data to Evil Megacorp 2™ servers that also feed directly to the "Not Spying.. Again" agency, though.
