I don't have a tablet or a smartphone because they are useless and/or repugnant.
Meanwhile, I'm more tied into these things than I would like to be. If I could go back to not needing a cell phone to get around properly I would-but it also took a great deal of planning. Starting point, endpoint, street names between, where to turn wen, etc.
That said, during work, I tend to put my phone in the break room, so the separation anxiety of not having it with me is a lot less.
And yes...it could turn the world into a matical place-AR is already in this app calles Soundscapes, and if you ae coming up to a restaurant and you have headphones on )Whether they be bone conduction or not) the name of the restaurant )Or at least what it is) will come from which ever dirction it would be in relative to you.
Example: you are walking down a street and there is a cafe on your right...the word would come that direction.
I do wish there were other ways for those of us with visual challenges to get around other than technology )People aren't necessarily an option anymore, sadly) because I don't like relying a lot on something that feels like an electronic hleash-especailly now with me accepting more and more of my other-ness, if you catch my meaning.
