The End of Marae – my attempt to build the AR cloud

Properly head-mounted AR technology (ideally in the form of a pair of glasses/sunglasses) can have lots of potentials, but does require science-fiction level of imagination to visualize those use cases.

Unfortunately, this is really hard. Mark Zuckerberg calls it "one of the hardest technical challenges of the decade". There are lots of fundamental technical breakthrough required to make it a reality. In different prototype labs, people are excited to see feasibilities being proved out in individual fronts. But moving all of them into production ready consumer grade hardware is a completely different story.

Give it another 5 years, we might be able to see whether it's indeed possible.

Maybe this is just my personal bias against even wearing glasses, but to me, this kind of tech isn't viable as long as it requires a wearable at all. I don't even like wearing a watch. Until the projectors are built into the environment itself, like my walls can directly put holograms into the room with me, I won't want to use something like this.

Or I guess if it's some kind of direct brain implant, though there's no way in hell I'm ever voluntarily implanting a Facebook product.
