Episode notes
Practical AR Is Finally Approaching
- Meta's $800 Ray-Ban Display feels like a near-term, practical AR step toward mainstream adoption.
- Bright micro-displays, phone pairing, and wristband input make AR usable but not yet fully standalone.
Wristband Input Versus Camera Tracking
- The neural wristband reads tiny muscle signals as an alternative input to camera-based hand tracking.
- This approach may enable discreet gestures but introduces new social awkwardness in conversations.
Verify With Hands‑On Reviews
- Read independent reviews before judging a live product demo; hands‑on reviewers often find issues fixed by firmware.
- Expect early AR devices to require paired phones and software updates to reach polish.
