c0dehexwitch, how do you think AR is going to impact the opportunities for out of work techies going forward? Is this type of technology and development something that easily can be outsourced? Is it something companies will want to keep in-house, as it may have much greater intellectual property value to them than more 'standard' development work today?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I believe it will give rise to employment for coders, for sure, but more specifically to graphic artists. Game designers="even better". The ability to provoke feeling, information exchange, and user engagement will be the determination of the artist's success.
ReplyDeleteBecause the technical nature of AR will always require coding skill, (which is an art in and of itself), it's the visual presentation which will define marketability. Code can *almost* create itself, but art is a truly human experience.
