Here we are a little over a decade after the release of the first smart glasses, the Google Glass, and the design has been improved and other companies have taken up the task of using this concept to improve industry such as manufacturing, logistics, health care, and much more.
Now Facebook is trying to get in on the action as well.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is developing augmented reality smart glasses because no current technology can replicate “the holy grail of social experiences” that is feeling present with another person, in an episode of The Information’s 411 podcast this week.
“You have technology that allows you to communicate and that can with different fidelity help you see what’s going on with the other person,” Zuckerberg said on the podcast. “But there’s just something that’s really magical about the sense of presence and feeling like you’re there with another person and everything that goes into that psychologically.”
“Rather than calling someone or having a video chat, you just kind of snap your fingers and teleport, and you’re sitting there and they’re on their couch and it feels like you’re there together,” he said on the podcast.
The future is here and it’s exciting when it comes to technological advances. There is no telling where our world will be 25, 50, or even 100 years from now..again, technologically speaking. Morally and as a society, this country may not even exist, but at least we’ll have some cool gadgets.
