I'm with you, it seems neat technology wise but the use cases I have seen just seem almost forced. I mean it is neat but I am not really wowed by the potential. In the realm of teaching, particularly with representation of physical things - this thing will be awesome. But beyond that, I don't know.
The idea of a portable large viewing screen is brilliant but that it not the real main selling point of this. A decent VR head set could do something similar.
In 10 years time, comments like this will either look like a prophet that could see the folly of the future... or be like all those people that dumped on the iPod and iPhone.
I’m not trying to dump on it, I’m just saying that as I see the product today, that’s the only thing I imagine myself wanting to use it for. That said, when the iPhone first came out I was only really interested in it to upgrade my mobile email experience, so we’ll see I guess…
this seems like it’ll be much higher resolution than even decent VR headsets. Also, I think the AR mode being very good is important. Not seeing the real world for too long would make me feel claustrophobic
