If there’s ever a version of this technology that is compelling, it will require an entirely different form factor, like standard-size eyeglasses (not fucking Oakleys) or a Focus (a small temple-mounted holoprojector)

Joseph Kohlmann (jkohlmann@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 13:19:44 JST Joseph Kohlmann @jalcine @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs Seriously. Look, VR’s cool, but it’s going to be a tablet-like also-ran interface paradigm at best, not a paradigm shift like personal desktop computers or smartphones. Also, the fact that you can’t gather ’round a screen or hold up a phone to someone else isn’t lost on me here; the form factor itself is directly antisocial and isolating

Joseph Kohlmann (jkohlmann@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 13:19:41 JST Joseph Kohlmann @paninid @jalcine @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs I personally find the latter to be inexplicable. Maybe this works out in retrospect, i.e. Apple Vision Pro ends up being a hulking Apple Lisa of a commercial prototype, but it’ll take a few years, possibly even a decade to become something other than a doofy “helmet computer”

Seriously, I find the general work productivity angle of this device and its software to be boring, predictable, and quite perverse

Joseph Kohlmann (jkohlmann@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 07-Aug-2023 02:26:20 JST Joseph Kohlmann @thomasfuchs At some point, it becomes either implicitly or explicitly the goal to *avoid* addressing moderation by way of technical discussions like this.
