Totally disagree. AR will be the future of modern businesses in 10 years. Every employee will be equipped with this technology having a virtual keyboard, email inbox, avatar chat... all within one device.

> AR will be the future of modern businesses in 10 years

Agreed. 10 years from now, AR will still be the future of modern business.

You may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of white collar employees are already equipped with one device that has a keyboard, email inbox, and chat.

And AR creatures for that matter if you download the Pokemon app.

>>having a virtual keyboard

I'd be cautious about that.

I got to try a laser keyboard[1] and it hurts to use it pretty quickly and isn't that accurate. I suppose we could just have a double-wide version of a wrist-wrest for the haptic feedback, but that doesn't necessarily help the accuracy issues.

Why? What does a virtual keyboard give you that a real one doesn't? What does avatar chat give you that a Slack channel doesn't? I don't see any reason why these are compelling enough to change how you currently do work.

I cannot disagree more. This will be relegated to certain segments of business, but no more than that.

What would be the value add here for a company over their existing infrastructure?

>virtual keyboard

The most awful thing ever.

You can pry my keyboard from my cold dead hands. No way I'd want to use a virtual keyboard with no tactile feedback. I try to avoid typing my phone whenever possible as it is already.
