> That video is from 2007, and yet the technology being shown is so impressive that it feels like it could have been made yesterday.

Really? Who thinks this in 2023? I thought it was a fun little demo back then, but that was it. Both then and now I just want AR as the default for everything and for screens to die already. We've had the tech for it since then too, but not enough demand from general consumers.



AR as in overlay on what you're looking at, or VR as in replace everything you're looking at?


I didn't even mention VR and I am so beyond tired of it being brought up every time AR is.

I said AR because I meant AR.


It would take some serious overlay resolution to replace a monitor, which just doesn't exist right now (?). If the angular size of a pixel is too large, it's essentially like being nearsighted. A person with 20/20 vision can see detail down to the eye forming an angle of 5 arc minute (1 arc minute = 1/60 of a degree).
