Augmented reality allows a new generation of display. As opposed to virtual reality, the user does not exist in a virtual world, but information is superimposed on the real world.

These displays can be easily portable, such as the Vufine+.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-09-14|title=Vufine+ Wearable Display Field Review|url=https://www.cined.com/vufine-wearable-display-field-review/|access-date=2021-10-16|website=CineD|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Ghoshal|first=Abhimanyu|date=2016-11-11|title=Vufine+Review: An affordable heads-up display for those who need one|url=https://thenextweb.com/news/vufinereview-an-affordable-heads-up-display-for-those-who-really-need-one|access-date=2021-10-16|website=TNW {{!}} Plugged|language=en}}</ref> Other are quite massive, like the [[HoloLens 2|Hololens 2]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Microsoft HoloLens 2 all you need to know {{!}} BE-terna|url=https://www.be-terna.com/insights/microsoft-hololens-2-mixed-reality-headset-designed-to-get-work-done|access-date=2021-10-16|website=www.be-terna.com|language=en}}</ref> Some headsets are autonomous, such as the [[Oculus Quest 2]]<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lynch|first=Gerald|date=2021-07-26|title=Oculus Quest 2 review|url=https://www.techradar.com/reviews/oculus-quest-2-review|access-date=2021-10-16|website=TechRadar|language=en}}</ref> and others. In contrast to a computer, they are more like a terminal module.

[[Single-board computer]]s (SBC) are improving in performance and becoming cheaper. Some boards are cheap such as the [[Raspberry Pi]] Zero and Pi 4, while others are more expensive but more similar to a normal PC, like the Hackboard and [[LattePanda]].

One main domain of future research could be the method of control. Today computers are commonly controlled through the keyboard and the mouse, which could change in the future. For example, the words per minute rate on a keyboard could be statistically improved with a BEPO layout.<ref>{{Cite web|last=France|first=Connexion|title=French computer keyboards to change - what is Bépo?|url=https://www.connexionfrance.com/Practical/Your-Questions/French-computer-keyboards-to-change-what-is-Bepo|access-date=2022-02-10|website=www.connexionfrance.com|language=en}}</ref> Ergonomics could also change the results with split keyboards and minimalist keyboards (which use one key for more than one letter or symbol). The extreme could be the Plover and steno keyboard that allow the use of very few keys, pressing more than one at the same time for a letter.

Furthermore, the pointer could be improved from a basic mouse to an accelerator pointer.

The system of gesture controls is evolving from image control ([[Leap Motion]] camera) to integrated capture (ex-prototype AI data glove<ref>{{Citation|title=AI Data Glove: Somatic| date=31 August 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6raRftH9yxM |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/6raRftH9yxM| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-10-16}}{{cbignore}}</ref> from Zack Freedman.) For some people, the main idea could be to build computers integrated with the AR system which will be controlled with ergonomic controllers. It will make a universal machine that can be as portable as a mobile phone and as efficient as a computer, additionally with ergonomic controllers.
