Using an AR headset and tracking to manipulate a 3D GUI that surrounds you, instead of using flat, 2D displays. A near-general AI assistant/collaborator that you can work with to brainstorm, research, create, or plan out ideas within this 3D space.

Yeah that's the stuff I'm asking about. Do you think the advancements of AR will be quick enough for this to be mainstream within 10 years?

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a buzz about improvements to our virtual assistants yet. I think that will be very soon, and will hopefully be a pretty big game changer but I have my doubts tech corporations will implement it in a very useful way. Take the current google/siri/alexa stuff. It could do a lot more. Our smart homes could be much more robust and better. But we mostly have smart bulbs, thermostats, locks, and cameras. And using voice assistants to adjust those works most of the time, but it's so basic for the average consumer.

Not sure if it will be advanced enough to be fully practical for the average consumer (like being light, fashionable, secured, etc), but even today we have stuff like character.ai, play.ht, and various ar headsets. These could be combined into one product on paper, but it would be pretty scuffed.
