This seems like a clear next step; however, I have a hard time believing that the underlying goal of this direction is NOT a pair of AR glasses - another, potentially more addictive, screen.
I’m personally really excited about that potential. I would love to pivot my career away from teaching to building AR workflow mediation for teachers. I would even be pleased to only carry a watch and headphones to fulfill the majority of my computer-related tasks.
That said, I do fear Hyper-Reality[1] and such a persistent, obligatory mediation of our lived experience.
Fuck AR glasses. I absolutely do not want a society where they are an important component of participating in economic and social life. In my mind, that is a far greater threat to human freedom than any corrupt government or act of violence.
