If we put into context the idea of the phone and something like Alexa you need to concept the idea expanded to standing up the morning, walking into the next room and saying xyz and the entire room projection being where you need to go, shop, work, etc.
Did you ever tried that in real? Entire room projection looks so unnatural, that you will shut it down after few minutes. Things get worse when you move around the room.
To get something acceptable you need round screen around you with you staying in center. After some fight with yourself, you might find what you see more or less apropriate.
And that tech limitations. Imagine computing power needed to drive that insane amount of pixels. For nothing.
There is no any technology yet, that could make that idea of immersion acceptable.
I perfectly understand the idea you talk about, but it can't be implemented consumably in at least several decades, or even more. You need some outstanding technological breakthrough, like holograms or another image creation technology.
If you think this is not attractive to people remember that in just 10 years people have literally become consumed to notification slavery, hunching over and shopping and swiping for people and products.
Exactly, and that's why that metaverse doomed. People already have a simple and cheap way to live in virtual reality. It is just limited to a screen of the phone or computer monitor. There is no any demand for virtual access to anything anymore. Especially if new alternative looks ugly and cost more than any consumer will ever have to spend.
Problem is already solved, that is why attempt to solve it again will never succeed.
Ayh know we want to romanticize human beings but.. cities are filled in the millions with people who never go outside other than from home to work.. and they demonstrated in the hoax shutdown they would gladly stay home.
Those who want that way of life already have it, that's the point. Order food or goods in phone app, wait for delivery boy, enjoy the meal and gain more money doing some hob remotely. All that was in place long before coronahoax, and really coronahoax even slightly damage that, you know, people notice the importance of some things only when that things are lost.
Cities are our enemies.
Totally agree. There are no reasons for urban living anymore. In the past, cities concentrated workforce and bureacracy in one place to make things simplier. Today there are no any real reason for that. It is purely about control over people and depriving them from everything natural.
Holographic boxes are not really holographic. :) Just a marketing thick.
Creating 3D image is a tricky thing. Hologram is pretty cool, but to make a realtime holographic display you need insane resolution to create a fine difraction grating that will create desired 3D image. And you obviously need enormous computing power to calculate that extremely high resolution images with thousands of megapixels for a decent viewport size. It is ultimately interesting thing, you could even play with it using tiny display module from cheap pico projector, but it is impossible with current tech to do something useable. And it is not that floating in the air objects everybody think about, it's more like a window with 3D objects behind. But it is still pretty cool, because of nearly infinite depth and possibility to observe created contents just like you observe the world from window. Imaginary world you could create behind that window is larger than window itself. And it is slightly foggy and opalescent (like static holograms made on photoplates you probably saw), because to create clear picture you need nearly infinite resolution. With display from pico projector you will get only single-color hologram that need laser light to produce image. It depends on method of how pixels change optical properties of surface. To create a colorful hologram you need another type of display module that change phase, not amplitude of light that bounce of pixel, much more expensive than one from pico projector.
Greetings, buddy! I often commented on HaD at the time.
Used to utilize their io project pages but they went woke so ayh dumped it. Real shame.
Yep, they go woke after sell. Pity. Had an io page too. :)
The first phase will lkely adopt the exist large television,
Probably, but the pixel count will grow proportional to square of diagonal. Since the living room limit the distance from screen you can't just make screen larger, because pixel size will destroy immersivity and perception.
room sensors and AR
AR seem to be stalled. Oculus Rift barely alive and I didn't saw any development. However AR is promising tech, I even thought about making an oversimplified bluetooth version of AR addon for safety goggles just to display multimeter measurements and similar stuff at the point of view to eliminate the distraction on multimeter display.

Aslo there are another ways to create 3D images, like rotating helix f.e. Most impressive thing I saw is this. Opensource, meanwhile - https://hackaday.io/project/180304-vvd-an-open-source-real-3d-volumetric-display I think it is closest possible thing to all that SciFi movies 3D displays.
