Let me guess… you’re worried because you’re finding your mobile phone too big, unwieldy and unmanageable? You also dream of walking the streets wearing a pair of specs feeding you unnecessary details about everything you look at?

I guess innovation’s good, but I’m reaching the conclusion they’re trying to make tech simply because they can, not because we need it…

Sky · Tech companies are racing to make their products smaller - and much, much thinnerBy Martin Kimber, business producer

Opkomende technologieën hebben een grote impact op ons leven. Daarom is het essentieel om na te denken over ethische en maatschappelijke richtlijnen. In opdracht van CIIIC en OCW hebben @publicspaces, @RathenauNL en @waag zich verdiept in de vraag wat publieke waarden betekenen binnen Immersive Experiences (IX).

Fighters have used the projected gunsight since the 1940s. By the 1990s, the technology had progressed to the helmet-mounted #display. Today, airliners are sporting the HUD.

What's next: #AI-powered #AR #goggle (or even AR Google) for in-flight use? It could be a life-saving assistive technology to ATPs during in-flight emergencies with such facilities as diagnosing problems; prioritising faults; overlaying highlight on the next button, switch, lever, or control on the checklist, along with the movement direction; and so on.

Artistic survey: Imagine an AR (augmented reality) app that lets (virtual) trees grow around you in your real environment, no matter where you are. And you suddenly experience your city as more beautiful and livable.
What kind of music (that starts when you launch the app on your smartphone) do you expect or like to hear, or just comes into your mind?
