I was never excited by VR because I’m in the 10-20% of the population that uses some of the visual cues for depth that VR doesn’t mimic and so gets motion sick.
I was excited by AR. The technology is almost good enough to be useful. It’s currently at the stage smartphones were when I owned a Nokia N80: not actually useful, but you can see the potential. But, for it to actually be useful, it needs to be designed with private as the number one requirement and that’s not something I’d trust big tech to do, so I don’t see the interesting use cases appearing any time soon.
Machines that confidently generate wrong answers? I’ve dealt with enough humans like that to not want to see it automated.
