This engineer replaced his 4 monitors with Meta glasses - and it might be the future of work

There's been a lot of hype around augmented reality, but this might be the closest we've come to seeing it actually used in the workplace.

Meta, the maker of augmented reality glasses, just did an interview with tech writer Robert Scoble, where it shows how some of the engineers use Meta's augmented reality glasses at work.

One engineer said he got rid of the four monitors he used to have on his desk because he's able to get most of his work done through the Meta glasses now. The engineer showed how he could work on the designs of a 3D object, while checking his email and listening to Spotify through multiple "virtual screens" accessible through the Meta glasses.

He had a window for Spotify open as well.
