Yeah, that's it. It wasn't having your fascist, boot-licking CEO show up wearing the stupidest looking shades that made investors cringe and look for the door. Cause we all know Zuck looks cool and people want to emulate him, right? He's not a jackass in a curly mop.
Maybe next they should have Elon wear them. We can just go down the line having stupid-looking billionaires take turns modeling these things and suck the whole industry dry of any investor money by mid-year. Who should go third? Oh, I know! Sam Altman with his two popped collars. I can't wait. What a trio of clowns. And that's just who I thought of off the top of my head.
It depends to me. AR has some real value use cases in the trades imho. Assuming they can be OSHA certed and not a pain in the dick to wear while doing real work in unconditioned conditions.
Otherswise its just more screen realestate and "novel" data presentation. Both have value too, doing real work.
There is value in novel forms of expression too that avatars and creating 3d art too.
But yeah, advertising works and people dont just get what they need to create but get to consume. I cant find clit all in the first field in the consumer space, even the profesional space is pretty niche.
The latter has some but its really enthusists just making face game consoles work.
The last one though, that has some serious momentum, and for some good reason. Its not capital intesive, not compared to the first, and less niche then the second (cause lets be honest how much do most people need more screen or novel data presentation).
