Michael and Michael get back together to talk about the latest smart home news, starting with the Amazon acquisition of Ring. The pair speculate on what this level of integration in the Amazon ecosystem could bring — everything from delivery verification, to drone delivery enablement to package recipient identification.
Mobile apps captured their attention with location-based & experience-driven marketing as well as with augmented reality. Augmented reality also features in this week’s episode in the form of a motorcycle helmet prototype and the upcoming Ghostbusters mobile game.
