Will AR glasses create a new world of opportunity for application developers in the same way that mobile did when the iPhone came out? If so, how can we prepare for this shift?

Balls deep into $SNAP shares

Not quite what I was getting at, but...yes, Snapchat.

I think so for sure. I'm interested in how the hardware might change, even beyond glasses to something else and how much that will contribute to building basically a new industry for developers...

My ex-landlord worked for a start up focused on smart contact lenses. Two years ago they had a functional prototype that could project light onto your retina and create an 8k display. (Reality check: It was an 8k display of entirely green pixels. One color.)

Whatever comes next will 100% be amazing lol.

Absolutely. I have been trying to figure out how to get into more of the AR space. I'm trying to hone in on companies that are releasing strong AR products, but NOW, before it would become too specialized an area. I basically want to grandfather myself in before it requires specialized skills that would put me behind.

This is exactly where I’m at right now. I just recently left my job and am looking at the current state of the industry thinking:

“What area can I focus hard on upskilling now that leverages what I’m already good at as a foundation, in order to lock myself in as a rare expert down the line?”

I finally have the time I’ve always wanted to invest a few months into growth in an area of my choosing.

Would you ever accept a ground-floor bedroom facing the street (but set back from the pavement) in London?

There’s the option of using an internal bedroom instead, but it’s not nearly as nice as the street-facing one.
