RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Facebook metaverse . Still years away. ok - glasses won't be needed forever for a simple hologram (I guess I should have been more specific for all the believers) I am sure that the $10 billion a year Facebook is spending on research likely won't cover the likely now simple hologram tech (not to mention all the other large companies investments)
why would people leave the comfort of the couch with a beer in hand to watch the great Elon You'd rather get dressed up and drive to the theatre (burning carbon and pay an entrance fee and parking) and watch a "ghost" that doesn't look 100% valid the option of watching Elon and the football game at the same time while you can openly scratch your nuts is likely more appealing to the masses
Art is running cables for a rotary phone system and they can only spend in the hundreds of thousands on research investments in companies like art are suppose to be very forward thinking are they not? You have to be kidding the near future is bright Many are coming at arts tech and they have a plastic sword
What is in the Art look-aid they keep handing out C'mon tick tock time keeps moving and Art don't have the deep pockets to keep up
tannin wrote: "glasses won't be needed forever" !! How far into the future are you looking sunset ? Glasses offer different options, overlaping with a few uses for ART's technology at best. Elon Musk on stage, or looking like he's right here with us on the stage, is an entirely different feeling, or reality, to Elon on the inner screen of my heavy glasses, oh, our heavy glasses....as 'we' have assembled to hear the great man, ask him questions etc. Different technologies with different uses, and some overlap for sure.
Would also suggest that for the next few years, new technologies are going to take a little longer to get to the mkt, because of supply chain issues that will continue through '22 into '23, because of chinese american rocky relations, and possibly because of a difficult economy.
Your concerns are all valid in my book.....just think that you're overly concerned about the immediate challenges to ART's technology.
6 hours drive to London.....sounds wonderful to me, 10 hours....more wonderful. Have suggested to Larry the need for portable facilities, both to broadcast and receive, seems obvious to me....he says no no no.
