Damn fingers. Put it on and you will see your entire world differently.
When I first saw augmented reality properly demonstrated in the parking lot of a German startup, the CTO of Metaio showed me monsters on the sides of skyscrapers that were across the parking lot.
That was pretty cool.
He later set up Apple for decades with his Spatial Computing strategy.
This gives you a little taste of why everybody is going to buy glasses soon: when you can live in this kind of infinite reality world, it will be highly entertaining.
Consider Formula 1.
When someone is sitting next to you wearing them during a race and then looks at you in almost a disgust: “dude, put them on. You can see the whole track in real time.”
You will have a pair the next race.
I had a similar demo at NASCAR.
The autonomous racing league in Abu Dhabi gave me a demonstration on its Formula 1 track.
The richest in the world can’t see the whole track from their seats.
This sure seems like a problem worth solving.
Do you have any clue what would happen if Max Verstappen joined with Apple?
And put you in the car at 250 m.p.h. In a world-class competition. Digitally.
Once you get 10 minutes in the glasses that soon will come. Some say @Snap is already there. You will buy even if you are blind.
I once went to a dinner for the school for the blind.
Every augmented reality team was there. Everyone knows this tech can bring sight to the blind.
It brings it to all of us.
Put it on and you who see you’re entire world differently.
I argue better.
I was the first to tell you about the World Wide Telescope that was launched by a small team working at Microsoft Research.
The technologies that are coming soon will let you actually see every single object in the sky.
It is an infinite discovery platform.
Create any reality you want at a decent price.
Stay alive. You will want to experience it.
Even if you go to every race in a private jet.
Everyone can build together.
Which will take us out of this shitty mood everyone is in about AI.
