Real reality? Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality including RealityOS, sprinkled in with a healthy dose of visualizations, music portability & fitness as well as Nintendo Switch games.
Michael, Andy and Michael are all together again, and for this week’s episode, reality in all of it’s glorious forms take center stage. The cohosts begin their discussion with a couple of articles focused on how RealityOS was spotted in the pre-release iOS 13 code, and speculation about what this means. Then, staying on the theme of Apple’s AR/VR/MR/XR headset, the Patently Apple team showcases a recently filed patent spelling out how a headset could visualize non-visible things. This leads to a discussion on the screen real estate that a vehicle’s windshield provides, vehicle to vehicle communication and a subsequent article on digital twin road maintenance to fix potholes.
Turning to the world of music, the cohosts muse over FreeYourMusic.com‘s subscription model. Then they exercise the Apple acquisition of AI.music, and implications for Apple’s Fitness+ service.
Wrapping up this week’s episode, Andy, Michael and Michael kick around some games coming to Nintendo Switch, focusing first on Wii Sports and then No Man’s Sky.
