Augmented Human Experience: The future everyone hates

Most people hear "XR" and immediately switch off. That reaction makes complete sense. The hardware looks silly. The demos feel forced. Half the use cases don't need to exist.

But I keep coming back to the actual idea underneath: not the headset, but the shift in where computing lives. Right now everything is in a rectangle you carry around. That won't always be true. At some point the interface starts blending into how you move through space, what you remember, and where your attention actually goes.

That transition is probably going to be messy and embarrassing for a long time. The middle years of any tech shift usually are.

I'm not betting on the current version. I just don't believe the screen in your hand is the final form. That's enough to keep me watching.
