MODERATORS
I think they are the obvious next step for mobile phones. But we are not there yet, where I would pull the trigger and buy one for me. I think they are too flimsy right now
Why would they be next steps ?
I think the trend is getting bigger screens but then having a big ass phone is annoying, so imo foldable phones is the obvious next step
Why would bigger hardware be the next step. Isn't that kinda dumb ?
Next step are wearables.
Next logical step is a bigger viewing platform. Screens are dumb, but we need to see information, so really smart glasses or projectiors should be next step
I agree with you. Maybe I meant the next doable step. I think we are too far from smart glasses that can replace phones. Specially at low cost
I disagree. 350 xreal are pretty good.
It's just mirroring your screen. Yeah it's not going to be as good as native and nothing compared to apple. It's the next steps which I think should be modular.
Wearables.
Glasses, hearable. Which is just a hearing aid but better and smart watch wrist band. With the phone tying everything together.
Obviously will near near perfect latency and much more powerful batteries. Plus some kind of wireless charging for all devices.
Screen should obviously be on glasses. Just makes sense. Only need a viewing platform don't need anything else from it. Leave grunt in phone or computer box. It streams to watch glasses wrists and hearable.
Wrist can show small information, maybe reply to easy message and give notifications. Hearable is music and audio playback. And anything you need to view is from glasses
I wouldn't change a phone for glasses, but maybe I am a minority
Why ? Is not really the phone change though. It's just the way you view content. From laptops to phones to whatever is next. We view data so going straight to eyes would cut out middle man
I dont look good in glasses
Fair enough. Good point.
Maybe they will get significantly better.
