Who needs real things when everything can be a hologram?
Briefly

In a recent podcast, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed his vision for a future dominated by augmented reality (AR) and holographic technology. He predicts a significant shift where physical objects like books and games become obsolete, replaced by virtual versions viewed through AR glasses. Expanding on this, he estimates that one to two billion people may adopt AR glasses to replace smartphones in the next four years. However, he acknowledges the challenge of public acceptance, as evidenced by mixed reactions to Apple's Vision Pro, which aims to start the trend of virtualizing physical interactions but enters a market that may not fully embrace the change yet.
Zuckerberg predicts that most physical objects will become obsolete, replaced by holographic versions viewed through AR glasses, suggesting a major shift in how we interact with physical possessions.
The rise of AR technology, exemplified by Apple Vision Pro, showcases how digital interactions with virtual objects can potentially replace tangible, physical items in our lives.
