Anonymous, 14 Dec 2024It doesn't anything about video recording support. 🤦Whut?

    potato4k, 15 Dec 2024Remember Google Glass?Yes. That was an experiment to begin with, nobody really expected it to take off and as far as I know, it actually was fairly decent for what it was, just too early. Apple came late to the party and failed to provide anything worthwhile.

          Because chinese phone is also giving data to china government, especially huawei.

          Atelast, google is better because they provide statement of terms and condition before you are using the service, and also provide the user to choose which data you give to google.

            I cant wait to see all these people wearing AR Glasses trying to cross the busy New York roads. "Ouch what just hit me, man this game just feels too real now..." Reminds me of covid days when I used to run down the stairs with quest 2 on searching for that power bank. Seeing everything in black an white sure felt trippy. I'm sure this Android XR will be just another heavy Android skin similar to Meta OS except now with Google maps integration, people will be using them more outside crossing streets seeing everything in color high res fish eye lense and hopefully not walking into incoming traffic.

              Google announces another resource of revenue, ads and spyware.

              No thanks.

                Oh man... Here we go again with google and his VR/AR ideas that will be dropped after one or two years...
                Any one remember their amazing idea of Youtube VR? Playground AR? VR180 Creator? Google Jump? Google Spotlight VR? Soundstage VR? It was amazing that Cardboard lasted more than 3 years...

                  potato4k, 13 Dec 2024And it will be abandoned in what, 5 years tops? I mean just... moreApple already pretty much dropped the Vision Pro. 5 years would still be way better than what Apple currently seems to last

                            they're apparently merging chromeOS into android even though chromeOS was decently popular. then why make this new OS?

And only 2 out of the top 10 aren't American, and those are heavily subsidized by their local governments (Saudi Aramco and TSMC), unlike Microsoft or Google.
