Sci-fi gripe: holograms for personal devices
(i.pinimg.com)
What do cell phones look like in the year 2144?
Obviously they won't have a screen anymore. They'll be pop-up displays. So if you're sitting on a train and your romantic partner sends you a steamy selfie...guess who has an audience?
Has this annoyed anyone else?
If they're tactical screens, that makes sense. But I still don't think transparent displays on personal devices will be a thing in the future.
AI in the system can fix this. Basically real-time deep fakes
Yep. And it’s already been a thing for a few years now. Facetime makes it look like you’re looking right at each other.
Sure, but why?
What is gained by a holo-display in your hand? It looks futuristic? If you wanted the experience of talking to someone face to face, why would they be a 6 in version projected into your hand? Why not face to face?
It's solving a problem that doesn't even need to exist. Hologram stuff is poorly thought out in media.
Physical devices needed to project it,
Or in a VR/AR type set up… you’d have to designate some kind of environmental positioning.
More likely though, you’d be holding their disembodied head. Rather than a mini-them. Possibly a torso/bust attached
