In all the wrong places — the example for this show, as surgical robots!  But before we get to that, let’s start with the latest news in augmented reality. Michael and Michael explore the newly announced Magic Leap One Creator Edition AR glasses, using a couple of links & videos to discuss the merits and challenges.  The co-hosts struggle to come up with the right word to describe the look — steampunkesque was among those suggested.

A favorite topic of ours — augmented reality use methods — resurfaces in this episode, this time prompted by the recent Apple acquisition of a Canadian AR company called VRVANA, which leads to a conversation about miniaturization of this technology, ultimately embedding into bionic contact lenses, or even a potential direct optic nerve connection.  … Continue reading →
