A new direction for computing: projecting information into the real world to augment it, with a device that combines a projector and computer vision in the shape of a large lightbulb.
I have this bad feeling that if you put out ideas like these out there, Meta is going to steal it and call it their own a in a few years, and you’re lucky to be hired in the process. (And getting an offer from Meta doesn’t sound as nice as it did.)
I don’t only want to comment doom though; this seems like both a great user experience, and a good use of LLMs that don’t replace humans. (Unless you’re thinking of that Black Mirror episode.)
Especially for the “turn on this light” moment, my initial reacting was “oh it’s taking a second or so, is it faster than turning it on yourself” but then I was more like “okay this is a prototype, and finding the switch takes me longer than that and my back doesn’t thank me for it afterwards”.
