What will we use as phones if wearables take over? (keyboard, camera)

What will we use as phones if wearables take over? Or would wearables not replace an actual cell phone?

[Mr5150]

Ask yourself what a wearable is. What is the screen size of a wearable? How good is its camera? Apps? Can you do banking or watch a video? And are you willing to wear a two year old wearable article? Place a call or text? So what is the point?

IMO just an idea that won't replace our pocket computers that double as a camera and a phone

Eventually, AR glasses with hand-tracking gestural interfaces as well as eye-tracking gaze-based interfaces will take over. Various ways to compose text will exist, such as floating keyboards, gaze-based keyboards, surface-based keyboards, speech recognition, sub-vocalization recognition, etc. They'll have positional tracking (so they can understand all the three-dimensional objects in the real world in real-time and render three-dimensional objects in the augmented or virtual world that have the correct relationship to the real world), wide FOV and resolution, etc. Hunching over a tiny screen that takes up relatively few arc-degrees of your field of view will seem incredibly limiting and primitive. The AR glasses will become the thing NOBODY wants to ever leave the house without, in the 2028-2040 timeframe.
