🤖 Tech Trends - Spatial Computers

Spatial computers aren't like smartphones circa late 2000s. A very high bar has been set when it comes to getting people to wear a computer that covers their eyes. I'm very skeptical that a subtraction strategy will work with spatial computers in which you take a premium headset and make it cheaper.

Key Points:

  • High Bar for Spatial Computers: The success of spatial computers depends on setting a high bar for user experience, which is challenging to achieve.

  • Subtraction Strategy: A subtraction strategy, which involves removing features to make a product cheaper, may not work for spatial computers due to their high complexity.

  • Premium Headsets: The success of spatial computers relies on premium headsets that provide an exceptional user experience.

🎨 Tech Trends - DrawOn Symbol Effect

This drawOn symbol effect is easy to take for granted, but it was actually a lot of work to get right. 1. SF symbols are not strokes. If you look closely at the signature, not all portions of the path are the same width. 2. Moving along the path and naively filling it would result in a very different look.

Key Points:

  • DrawOn Symbol Effect: The drawOn symbol effect is a complex feature that requires careful implementation.

  • SF Symbols: SF symbols are not simply strokes, but rather complex paths with varying widths.

  • Naive Filling: Naively filling the path would result in an incorrect look.
