With the preview of the Apple Vision Pro -- which I think looks simultaneously creepy, way too expensive and overpriced, cool, and really creepy again, and probably will be a flop imo, I've been wondering this old thought. Been on my mind a long time, ever since I saw the advent and downfall of the Nintendo Virtual Boy and many VR sets since then. It's an idea that fails and fails again but big tech keeps trying.
You ever think AR Disc Golf will be a thing? Not virtual reality or video game, rather playing on your local course and having video game additions overlaid on top. Think not just mandos, but hoops in the sky as mando or bonus points, virtual trees for lines that can virtually fall your discs and dictate lie, bald eagles that pluck random thrown discs and fly off and drop them somewhere as a lie, virtual water like a moat perimeter around C1, tiny T-rexes that start attacking if you take too long, and way more than my imagination can conjure at the moment.
What would be the point? Probably after 500 rounds on the same local courses, just a change. That's all. I tried video game DG, but it don't interest me cause I'd rather play a more interesting game or real DG. But AR might be different.
If I could get $500 googles and a program that does it automagically with reliability and consitency, in say 5-10 years, would be worth a try.
