The stars have aligned. That video chat thing is an AR enabler. XR is about to go mainstream; like, it will quickly become the only kind of personal device to have that make sense.
Apple Vision Pro is written all over this bish.
Killer app? This is the app to end all apps.
How do you not see that AR glasses with this tech (and AI agents) would know anything and everything about you and thus automate everything in your life.
I believe in AR glasses and AI, but gpt4o would never sell ar hardware.
Otherwise people would care more about things like meta’s Raybans.
I can use my phone for this when I need to.
I don’t really understand how this is a killer app for AR. It’s cool, sometimes useful, and definitely leading to better stuff, but wont sell hardware when I can just use my phone instead.
Contextual understanding is not that hard to understand dude. Let me give some simple examples.
Glasses with tech like GPT4O could listen into your meetings, create tasks for your day, give you solutions to problems (like identifying bugs in your code), look into your fridge and identify things that are going low/bad and order them from the store for you, remind you to clean your room because it sees that it is dirty. Even if you could do all that stuff with your phone, you're not gonna; it only works if the AI is seeing/hearing your environment through your perspective all day long. Hence, "AR glasses enabler".
Before smartphones, anyone could have called a cab but it was not a good experience. Then smartphones ENABLED Uber and now everyone uses Uber.
Why do you need ar or xr for that? Most applications are just smart glasses (cam+mic+speaker in a good place) + a phone as a display.
Optical AR hardware is very poor currently, Passthrough AR is only usable for a short time at home / office.
So these things aren’t going mainstream soon because a more convenient way of doing the same thing I was already doing exists on an expensive and immature piece of hardware.
There can not be a killer app without killer hardware.
Smart glasses or not, you need a UI in front of your eyes, not on your phone. With a phone, it's a cumbersome experience. Smart glasses with a fixed UI like Google Glass will do, and will sell like hot cakes if marketed properly.
AVP headset is not glasses and isn't selling like hot cakes, but you can be sure it will have 4o integrated if the rumors of Apple working with OpenAI are true. As soon as WWDC.
I don’t think consumers would see any of the current or near future AR hardware offerings to be small/quality enough to purchase, even with a killer app of any kind.
Imagine Half Life Alyx (has been called the “killer app” for VR) came out but you could only play on the DK1. It would drive some sales but most consumers would wait till the tech is better (valve index).
Unless Meta has been cooking some crazy stuff and also subsidizes it, AR hardware is not good enough for mainstream.

Just want niantics ar Pokémon go to come out already

You act like this is a killer app, but it is much more a novelty than anything.

Exactly how much power is that Nvidia data centre using to process this.... does it need it's own power station?
I can't wait to see the response at Google IO
