Holographic optics for thin and lightweight virtual reality
If anyone here is in the know with the AR&#x2F;VR scene, could they shed some light on why AR hasn&#x27;t taken off yet?<p>VR is cool, but it&#x27;s seems like such a more useful concept to me to have actual reality with enhanced information.<p>Imagine wearing glasses and looking at a plate of food then having it estimate + track calories and macros, or paint GPS direction arrows on surfaces realtime, or put people&#x27;s names you&#x27;ve met before above their head so you can avoid awkwardly admitting you&#x27;ve forgotten it.<p>Is it technical limitations, or cost?<p>---<p>Edit: Many people replied with really informative answers to this already. I genuinely appreciate your time and insight, thank you :)
