I think VR needs better sims. Like how about GTA in VR where you look at people walking around, cars passing by and things happening? Or a nature sim with animals roaming around?

or walking into the middle of traffic trying to capture that pokemon.

Oh wait.. you didn't even need a Q3 to do that.


AR is dangerous without proximity warning and sensors.
You will have people tripping over stuff, stepping on where they shouldn't be stepping on, and going into places they shouldn't because they didn't see the "do not enter sign".

For AR I miss the Google glass way of doing it.
Headset that's fairly normal looking, AR HUD that doesn't get in the way of reality but enhanced it...

Weird looking back on it how up in arms about it people were given what's out now!

Well, it's two different methods...AR/VR mixed reality vs. essentially a personal informational HUD. The modern take on Google Glasses are products like from Vuzix:

I have a few customers who use these commercially. It's pretty cool because we can make POV training videos for new hires, do Zoom meetings to review things like building parts, fixing machines, etc., sort of like Facetime. Plus you can get prescription inserts for it as needed! They're especially nice when you just need information & not full immersion:
