Technological progress is not generalizable in the abstract. For hundreds of years human built faster and faster means of transportation and yet the record for fastest human vehicle remains 1969 appollo 10 mission.
There are hard limits to physics. It is not malleable without limit.
Magic leap said they were going to shrink down their light field tech a decade ago but gave up. The reality is that this technology may just not be physically possible.
Vr is a fancy display tech for niche games. It's at best another lane in the console war.
AR, actual ar with light fields is not feasible. The tech will never get there. It's just too computionally expensive and the optics don't pan out.
They def would mind
Not great. The ux is stuck in 2006
They're probably never going to be as small as glasses just due to hard physical limits in optics.
Then why hasn't it been solved? It's been nearly a decade since the oculus sdk came out.
And if you think the max track pad haptics are indistinguishable from a real button click, you're... Not very perceptive imo. Don't mean that as an attack. Just open your mind to the idea that other people can def tell the difference.
It seems more likely to happen through a brain interface, but also I'm increasingly skeptical that will ever be possible. Optimistic estimates for a full brain interface are a century plus, just by judging at the number of direct neuron measures we currently have and applying a (optimistic) Moore's law style exponential curve: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html
Vr is real fun but it's fundamentally just another display technology. It's less "ready player one" and more "what 3d TVs promised and failed to be".
Haptics are never going to be like in Ready Player One. It's crazy to me that anyone believes the tech will be capable of that. Like how diminished is one's sense of touch that one could believe it could be fooled by fancy rumble packs? Touch is so much more complex than that. Piezoelectric motors vibrating are not going to be able to be able to fake solidity. Nuts to me people think that.
God someone needs to help friendica. Mastodon and lemmy both have pretty decent ux. Friendica looks like it's from 2006.
Peer tube but no one actually makes content for it far as I can tell.
You'll get more flies with honey than vinegar.
Foss advocates showing once again how bad they are at persuading people.
Except in fact we have just seen 2 centuries of drudgery automated. Have you seen a combine harvester?
