Ask HN: Is VR/AR just a fad?
2 by nassimsoftware | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Facebook has recently changed their name to Meta and it seems that they're going all in on VR/AR. While AR/VR could offer some really nice things like an unlimited amount of virtual monitors or adding information to your surroundings I just can't convince myself that it's going to be the future and replace let's say our phones. The main reason is I find it hard to believe that people who do not need to wear glass will want to have them. As someone who started wearing glasses young I remember when I first had to wear them and how annoying it felt. Also VR feels like a compromise on AR and AR feels like a compromise on actually having real Holograms. What do you think of all of this? Will AR/VR become ubiquitous?
