people will access the next internet. They're devices that everyone will
own in a few years.
The real experience of Articulated Natruality will be achieved through
AN headsets and even contact lenses whereas the phone requires no
permanent apparel. The headset provides total handsfree operation and
overlay upon the full field of view. This creates the natural experience
of interacting with a digital world overlaid upon the real one.
The human being has become fettered and tethered by the IT revolution.
We were trapped infront of desktop computers and screens. People changed
to accept this because of the utility and the benefits offered by
technology. Work could be done quicker and better which is why people
turned to using computers instead of paper. This driving force was
behind the proliferation of the personal computer.
The AN revolution is not yet as focused and may be driven through
different motivations. Early AR is all about marketing. The next steps
will be gaming and information services. The information services are
about making life more convenient as well as offering new ways to
interact with the real world and people..The 'killer app' is yet to be
discovered, the one that drives mass adoption of the new wave of
information technology.
But the exciting technology like the AN headset and contact lens require
changes that people may not want to make. Glasses are unfashionable and
contact lenses are hassle. The smartphone is something that can be
hidden. Glasses aren't. I wonder if people will want to wear glasses
even if they offer a handsfree interface to the ANW.
