AR now that apple got into it
Buckle up, the year is 2015 and AR is HOT.
Yeah remember tablets before the ipad?
Palm Pilot Gang
Nah, the palm pilots were actually okay, I'm talking like windows xp tablet pc edition
That does live on in touscreen laptops though, but I know what you mean. I'm still skeptical about the vision pro having the same effect.
I'm not necessarily predicting that AR will actually succeed or be useful, just that a lot of VC money will try to jump on the bandwagon now that Apple has
first tablet i ever saw was one of these. Wish I'd had $100 to buy one.
I've always been bummed that video chat has been practical for years and years, and the only people i ever video chat with are doctors. : (
Why be on video when for the majority of people and conversations, just voice is 100% as good and you don't have to be seen? People hate being perceived, that's why people hate work zoom calls so specifically. "This could have been a phone call or email."
Anecdotally, I think there's a neurotypical-neurodivergent divide on video calls, but it's definitely understudied.

Was that a DSi thing? I don't remember my old DS having those. Or do you mean the poketch inside pokemon diamond/pearl?
Maybe it was 3ds?
The notepad was the ine with Nikki or whatever though that got banned because some creep tried to groom kids with it.
