Comment on Why You Won’t See Hard AR Anytime Soonparent

Here is a use case.

Suppose that you have face recognition + AR. Then you can have an application that keeps track of notes and tags them to people and objects.

So you make a shopping list, walk into a store that it knows, and there are arrows pointing to everything you have to remember to get. Or you are in a meeting, make a note to ask John a follow-up question, then when you meet John again you have a glowing reminder to ask him.

It is easier to just use Amazon and have a 3d hologram of the items (or just the fake theater 3d). Less intrusive too.

Amazon sells me milk? Amazon knows what I need to ask my co-worker?

Hey, I didn't say it was the most compelling use case. Just that it was a use case.
