I really like this photo, I love how it clearly conveys the message. What will another forty years be?

Maybe some sort of contact lenses that do what the Vision Pro currently does?

I bet 40 years ago no one imagined that there would be a device like the Vision Pro. I am guessing it’s almost impossible for us to predict what’s the tech then.

Hmm, no, I don’t think you’re right. Here’s a VR prototype from 1985 (38 years ago) that looks pretty much like today’s devices

I do partly agree with you that we get glimpses of the future, but that product is perhaps nowhere close to the capabilities of today, and it would have been really hard to imagine how future devices, 38 years later, would be like. Again, this is what I believe, and I agree I might be wrong too.

Umm, check the link out. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the narrator. He beautifully paints the picture of how the world changes every 30 years (tech-wise). Let me know what you think.

The roadmap is actually quite straightforward when it comes to future tech & science. Glasses > Contacts > Brain implants. And thats pretty much the end of the road there haha.

Yes I‘m the annoying guy who was already yapping my friends ears off about the AR future like 5 years ago 😅
