The Vision for Mixed Reality: Now vs The Future!

It honestly feels like a desktop/laptop paradigm to me. Something like a Quest is good for immersive experiences at home, whereas the Smart glasses once they have overlay displays in the lenses are what you'll take out into your day to help with your daily stuff and general communication.

Marques looks so cool wearing black sunglasses

That transition from the shot of the VR bowling to "taking off" the headset was ridiculously smooth

Eleven Table Tennis dev here. Thanks for the mention! I'm glad you had a chance to check out the game. Hit us up for a match some time :)

How nice it is to be young enough to see all that tech coming. On the other hand... I'm nearly 66 and for the past 40 years I have seen enormous developments in tech and enjoyed every innovation by just reading about it or by trying it out. Now I'm pretty excited about the Quest3. I know I will enjoy it and won't be disappointed, because I remember how it used to be. I'll be using it at home. The smart glasses... maybe that's for the younger generations. I just don't like to wear glasses. But then.... I never liked to wear watches until I start using smart watches and now I wear them nearly day and night to monitor my health and I enjoy them. Unfortunately like I said in the beginning.... if I have to wait another 20 years for that great tech.... well I'm not sure if I'm still around or that I'm too old to be able to use it... meanwhile I enjoy what there is.

I'm definitely hoping the vision pro idea is slightly miniaturized and becomes aggressively cost effective, just because I think the digital passthrough looks great on the quest 3 and shows tonnes of potential for all-day wearing once people can display their own eyes

I think the early adoption will go to the smart glasses. These are impressive. Since we are addicted to our cameras and capturing everything, I think the glasses will take first. Plus these are well done by being built in a popular brand in fashion. The VR headset is still too big to walk around in the real world with. Because of size and battery, VR headsets will remain isolated to home and office.

I think both sides have their uses. Headset is more for VR and gaming, where as glasses are more for casual every-day use. I'd love to see decent AR glasses where I can just check messages without having to check my watch or phone. I've always imagined a scene where I'd be driving a car, and then either my glasses or windshield have AR GPS arrows that show me where I need to drive on the road specifically, because it's very easy to miss your turn using a phone. I think it would also make things more visible, such as speed limits and special zones, like school zones, or even just seeing where the lines on the road should be. Maybe they could even connect with your car's detection system in order to give you minor pass-through capabilities to see in your blind-spots. Of course, there are so many more uses for AR in every day life. As for VR, as fun as it is, I can't be bothered to put a giant headset on my head every time I want to play. I can't wait for it to have a very small form and be light weight, non-intrusive. Though my ultimate goal for VR is diving into the virtual world mentally, so I can actually be immersed and move around freely.

Love the smooth transition from VR to reality. Very smart idea.

as a person with hearing loss, i really HOPE they implement a live caption feature so when someone talks to me I can read what they say in the glasses. Ive been wanting one for such a long time and I know it would be very helpful.

Gotta say, the smart glasses kinda look promising.

8:50 Bro’s entire music library is one song.

The transition from VR games to A-roll by removing the headset from the camera is beautiful. That transition made the previous part immersive in retrospect. Wow!

Bit of nostalgia here - my first MKBHD video was Google Glass Explained and man this guy has come so far. Gotten to a point where my fiancee buys me MKBHD merch for my birthday 😂 Something genuine and wholesome about Marques and the team he has built, that really makes him the goat in this space. Keep grinding big man 🤘🏼

Those damn youngsters with their glasses. Back in my day, I had to use my own FINGER to surf the internet!!

To me it seems more likely computation will be done outside of the wearable and streamed to it. Sounds easier to solve internet speed/coverage than decreasing computer and battery size by that much.

The main problem with the rayban glasses is that they're focused on the Meta ecosystem meaning it's needlessly missing features because it won't talk to your android/iphone the same way a smart watch would. You mentioned not being able to set an alarm or reminder, for example. It's such a simple feature and it seems like shooting one-self in the foot, not having it "just because, meta".

Color Passthrough feels like a leap into the future, like something out of science fiction that's finally happening. I've been using it to watch streaming tv, and youtube , along with browsing the net. Its nice being able to walk around inside with it. I can image in 5 to 10 years it will be something we take with us, like our phones. Its probably going to replace our phones by then.

Honestly such a good video, no one can even come to close how inoformative and at the same time entertainning Marques's videos are

I really like the idea of smart glasses. The smoothness and ease of use that is possible is insane. I hope that some tech company really invests in miniaturized ar tech.
