> I want to be in a park at night and see fiery snakes climbing all the trees.

Why the fuck do you want that? Corporate graffiti on nature?

I don't mind fairy lights on a tree in some situations. I like tree houses. I like a tree swing. Sometimes real graffiti. Because someone built something, it has value.

Some random AI shoves random snakes on trees? Why not sit at home and watch TV on your couch if you don't like trees.

An AR reality everyone shares at once with snakes in trees. Like a concert or a light show by an artist. Yep, but it will cost $ to visit. And it'll cost millions to create.

> I want to walk into a big-box store and have a huge glowing balloon appear over the Baking Supplies.

Who's going to record the data for you? People have tried to map stores for years and it'd work fine with AirPods telling you where to go, or a map on your phone.

> I want floating labels to attach to all the different parts of the machine I’m trying to fix.

Ikea struggles to make useful paper instructions. Brickit looks interesting, if it was done for mosaics and art like that - https://brickit.app/

> AVP is VR not AR

AVP is AR, a strange comment.

If you look at the only working commercial AR, it's doctors using it to have a screen next to where they do surgery so they don't have to look away. AVP having a big display anywhere might be it's best hope.
