“We suggest that if you are feeling yourself resisting this change, you might need to be the one to change lest you, or your company, be left behind.”
― Irena Cronin, The Infinite Retina: Spatial Computing, Augmented Reality, and how a collision of new technologies are bringing about the next tech revolution

“Tesla already has huge stations with coffee, restrooms, and other services available in-between cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, which didn't exist before people started using its electric cars to travel those multi-hundred-mile distances.”

“If you buy a car today, you will probably buy a car that costs thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. You'll also be paying to maintain it and to keep it insured. And with all that expense, you'll only use it an hour or two a day; the rest of the time, it will sit in your garage. That's hardly a great economic decision.”

“His thinking on this topic led him to develop what came to be known as Engelbart's Law: that computing was increasing at an exponential rate, so we would be able to exponentially increase our performance as well.”

“In the future, you might use your Augmented Reality glasses while sitting in traffic to get out of the cold and have a place for you to do a video call, which of course will be radically different in the future due to Spatial Computing. No longer will we be stuck to 2D screens. Your business meeting could have virtual whiteboards, desks with virtual items on them, plus lots of 3D designs. Think about being an architect―you'll be able to work on your building design while sitting in a car that's driving you across Paris. Even if you are stuck in traffic, you won't care nearly as much as you do today because the vehicle you are in will be much more comfortable and quieter, and you'll have hyper-fast bandwidth available to your AR glasses.”

“Add that to identity systems that use voice, heart rate, and the blood vessels in skin that your cameras can see, where your human eye can't, along with patterns like gait and hand movements, and computing soon will be able to know it's you at a very high degree of accuracy, increasing the security of everything you do and finally getting rid of passwords everywhere.”
