Isn't a killer app for AR one that improves hearing, sight, and memory?


For example, subtitles could help people without perfect hearing and auto zoom / color blind modes could help people without perfect vision.

And a name reminder could help people who are constantly forgetting names.

that’s somewhat the missed point. there won’t be one killer app.

less about the new thing, more about all the new ways to use things that you already know.

so, yes, for some it will be useful as a means of sensory augmentation or correction. headphones with noise cancellation are a glimpse. transparency mode? tweak the equalizer a little? amplify voices? but these were for music and maybe zoom calls, now you have superhero ears.

this is that, but more.
