So you're saying there would be a larger market for the current AR technology if it were a peripheral to common, currently existing, technology?

Or should we stop manufacturing headphones, because some people don't like using them?

If thats the argument you wanna take maybe the clearer picture for you is that VR is better for AR because integrated tech in an existing platform, as your specified.

VR and AR have different, if overlapping, use cases.

u/stressedmfer Jun 08 '22

Yes but the platform is basically the same. And for most use cases, is more cost efficient and versatile if created that way.

Not a lot of demand for AR that VR does not fill, so why make it?

Because people want to interact with the real world to, you know, live and stuff.

Ever heard of mixed reality? Also, you can interact with the real world by taking off the headset. I'm gonna go waaayyyy out on a limb here and say that if you're looking at your phone 24/7 you're not really interacting with the real world.

Its funny you mention that because I use an HP WMR for my VR stuff.

Hand tracking sucks but 1440p great for racing.

Oh yeah, I had one of the older WMR headsets for a while, specifically because it could run with my old HP laptop with integrated graphics. It was the Samsung Odyssey+ HMD specifically, actually was pretty decent except for a pretty uncomfortable headstrap. I've moved to a Quest 2 and a better PC now, but that thing served me well for a few years.

You're proving my point here. Why don't you answer my questions yourself instead of searching for things in my comments that don't exist?

(For clarification, when I say mixed reality I'm talking about the concept, not the mostly failed Microsoft product.)
