In 2040, augmented reality is changing the world forever.
For example:
1.
AR Contact Lens Can Provide JARVIS-Like Virtual Assistance
AR contact lenses are on the verge of becoming a mainstream technology.
They can recognize people’s faces and display the words they speak as subtitles.
They can zoom in on objects, provide your health tracking stats, and display text messages.
And using image recognition and advanced language models, they can provide customizable text
descriptions for anything we look at in the world.
People are watching movies and playing video games using their contact lenses.
And they’re perfect to use as teleprompters when giving a speech or providing a musical
performance.
Additionally, virtual assistants can now fully integrate with these lenses.
They can offer you detailed suggestions throughout each day in form of text overlayed over your
vision.
And they can analyze the visual data from your lenses and offer useful commentary.
For example, they could let you know if someone is lying to you or what a person might be
thinking and feeling based on their body language.
Additionally, they’ll notify you if a rare product you’re interested in is being sold
in a store nearby.
They can offer 3d presentations of how you might achieve your goals.
You can even get an estimate of your chances of achieving certain outcomes before you take
any action.
Likewise, contact lenses are in the beginning phases of integrating with brain-computer
interfaces.
This would allow users to use their thoughts to generate text, images, and videos to overlay
on their lenses.
2.
3D Holograms Are Becoming A Primary Source Of Communication
AR devices can display photorealistic holograms of users as they speak with each other.
This is possible thanks to AIs that can predict what people look like from every angle when
provided enough reference images.
This technology is being used for casual conversations, business conferences, online presentations
on social media and VR networks, and more.
It’s become a relevant alternative to podcasts and videos on video-sharing platforms.
There are also expensive booths that people can buy to place in their home to generate
the most realistic holograms possible.
They come with multiple high-resolution cameras, custom depth sensors, and groundbreaking light
field displays.
Many people consider them advanced versions of Google’s Project Starline that was first
showcased in the 2020s.
People can also have their virtual assistants appear as holograms.
And these VR assistants can have appearances and voices of characters from some of the
most popular movies and shows.
Disney is currently selling holograms for characters such as Iron Man, Wolverine, and
Deadpool.
While Warner Brothers is selling holograms versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

3D Holograms Are Becoming A Substitute To Videos
Instead of watching a 2d videos, many people are choosing to watch 3d forms of entertainment.
Using AR lenses, glasses, and other devices, users can watch 3d scenes and have the ability
to rotate and enlarge those scenes with simple hand gestures.
Thanks to advances in AI-generated videos and holograms, users can also change any aspect
of most 3d scenes.
For example, they can replace actors, change the voices of characters, change the weather,
and more.
Entertainment studios are rapidly emerging to offer this type of entertainment.
Advanced generative art platforms can also convert videos created in past decades to
3d hologram versions as well.
Students are also able to watch 3d representations of lectures by professors and teachers right
in their living room.
4.
Full-Immersion Augmented Reality Is Emerging Using AR glasses, AI-generated video, and
voice commands, you can change how any environment and person looks to you.
For example, when you look in the mirror, you can see a photorealistic version of yourself
that has 6-pack abs and looks like a movie star.
When you walk outside, you can have the environment look completely futuristic to you with towering
megastructures and flying cars all around you.
Similar to the movie “The Matrix,” you can look around and see computer code all
around you.
And if you visit the Rome Colosseum, you could see all of the columns standing upright as
they did almost 2,000 years ago.
Thanks to dramatically higher computation and AI techniques, these representations are
far more convincing than what was possible in the 2020s.
In coming decades, this seamless changing of how reality looks to us will only get more
realistic, detailed, and fluid.
5.
AR Smart Mirrors Are Growing In Popularity These mirrors can display a wide range of
information including the weather, unread emails, text messages, your projected body
fat percentage, and minor changes of your hair and skin over time.
You can use these mirrors to determine how you would look if you were to lose or gain
20 pounds, had different hair styles, different clothing, and more.
People often use voice commands and a touch screen to control these mirrors.
Using these smart mirrors, you can also have conversations with a photorealistic virtual
assistant.
And you can even remove backgrounds so that you can view yourself in completely different
environments.
6.
Holographic Medical Care Is Growing In Popularity Instead of physically visiting a doctor for
multiple appointments, you can speak with holographic representations of those doctors.
As they speak with you, they can display 3d simulations of your body organs and systems
to give you a clearer understanding of their observations.
7.
AR Provides 3D Representations Of Battlefields If you’re a soldier on a battlefield, your
AR device could display enemy locations, instructions from superiors, and areas where you can find
the most safety.
If you’re being fired at by an enemy, AR devices can automatically display the locations
where enemy fire is originating.
When you need to take over a strategic area on the battlefield, arrows and icons could
guide you toward that location.
You’ll even be able to see through hills and walls as you navigate through a battlefield.
All of this would be made possible because of drones flying above that are analyzing
the terrain.
Likewise, high-ranking military officers at command centers can view the status of battles
in real-time.
They can let you know if an enemy squad is advancing toward your location.
A virtual assistant hologram can then provide the best strategies to surprise and flank
those enemies.
8.
People Are Starting To Record Their Lives Using AR Contact Lenses
It’s getting more and more difficult to know whether someone’s wearing these types
of lenses.
This is the especially the case for thinnest and most expensive versions.
People are starting to record the world through their eyes and broadcast to streaming services
24/7.
And law enforcement and spy agencies are frequently using these types of lenses during investigations.
Because there are so many people recording the world with their glasses and contact lenses,
it’s becoming nearly impossible for anyone to commit crimes in public and get away with
it.
9.
AR-Enhanced Windshields Are Now Mainstream These automobile windshields provide dynamic
navigation, real-time traffic updates, and obstacle detection.
Even more interestingly, they provide real-time translation of road signs when you drive in
a foreign country.
Passengers even have access to entertainment and gaming experiences during commutes.
By this point, level-5 autonomous vehicles are also widely adopted.
The real-time information that these windshields provide offer additional reassurance to people
who use the auto-pilot features in their vehicles.
Thanks for watching.
