Pretty much everybody I know has a smart phone, and everybody I know has access to a Web browser. That has very important implications for how we think about and use smart phones and Web browsers. Ubiquity creates community.
Most people I know do not have a virtual reality headset, and even fewer have mixed reality headsets. So there isn’t that assumption of community between everyone.
I’ve been wondering what things might be like when everyone we know has a pair of mixed reality glasses, and we can make that assumption of community. At that point, I am guessing that there will be entirely new types of apps that everyone will use for such devices, much as most of us now use Google Maps on our phones.
But what will those apps be? Maybe we can start to think about that now.
