Deep Questions with Cal Newport
The Future of Computing: Augmented Reality Glasses
Summary: Augmented reality glasses will likely become the primary personal computing devices, replacing traditional screens. The declining price of this technology combined with the increasing demand for versatile screen access (multi-monitor setups, on-the-go access) will drive adoption, similar to how smartphones became ubiquitous. Businesses will benefit from cost savings and streamlined IT. Insights:
- The shift to AR glasses mirrors the shift to smartphones, where a once strange device becomes normalized through utility and widespread use.
- AR glasses address latent demand for versatile, multi-screen access in various environments (home, office, travel).
- This technology promises significant cost savings for businesses by eliminating the need for multiple hardware devices (computers, monitors, projectors). Proper Nouns:
- Apple Vision Pro: Apple's augmented reality headset, an early but expensive example of the technology.
- Ray-Ban: A popular eyewear brand, used as a reference point for the potential form factor of future AR glasses.
- Delta: An airline, used as an example of a location where the portability of AR glasses would be advantageous.
