    Ah, you seem to have made a rookie mistake, poor people are using AR, apple users are using spatial computing

      It is slightly different, but in a way that’s worse.

      AR uses a transparent overlay over reality perceived through a translucent surface, or at most a small subset of your vision is replaced. Think sunglasses with a screen you can see through, or a small corner of your vision is blocked by a tiny screen.

      In Apple’s “spatial computing” cameras recreate and alter reality, nothing you see is with your own eyes because no part of the display is transparent.

            apple never released any tech that wasn’t already “mature” - mp3 players existed before the iPod, mobile phones before the iPhone,…

        AFAIK there is no strict definition for AR how current reality has to be implemented, and both transparent and reprojected have their advantages and disadvantages. For example it’s much harder to “pin” augmentation on transparent AR, on the other hand latency and FOV are big issues for reprojected AR.

          You ever seen the myth busters episode where they try to drive a car through cameras and computer monitors?

          It didn’t go well

            While I completely agree that it is a very bad idea to drive with one, you have to give credit where credit is due. Apple really did an amazing job at reducing latency of the passthrough. That being said it’s still added latency and it’s a very very narrow FOV so please don’t go driving/walking around with that thing.

        Oh shit. That makes them less appealing, then.

        I wish I could say this scenario is unlikely, but nowadays? Who knows! So, picture this:

        • John likes to use his Apple goggles from 11pm to 1am.
        • Hackers get into his googles and install some malware.
        • Now they can walk in front of John without being seen.

        That wouldn’t happen if the goggles were truly transparent.
