Is China quietly shaping the future of smart glasses & AI glasses?In this episode of Metavertising, Ely Santos sits down with Sylvan Shen, XR Technical Producer at Emmy-winning immersive studio No Ghost, China Reporter at ImmersiveWire, and builder of demos for Meta Quest, Snap Spectacles, Meta Ray-Ban glasses, and other smart glasses platforms.Together, they unpack one of the most important but under-discussed areas of the XR industry: China's smart glasses ecosystem.While most conversations around XR focus on Meta, Apple, or Snap, China is moving incredibly fast across hardware, AI, manufacturing, and real-world use cases. Sylvan breaks down why Chinese smart glasses companies may offer a glimpse into where wearable computing is heading next.In this episode, we cover:The 4 categories of smart glasses: audio-first glasses, portable display glasses, AI camera glasses, and full AI + AR glasses.Why the simplest smart glasses are winning today, even though the dream is still full AR.How China's hardware manufacturing ecosystem gives local companies a major speed advantage.Why Shenzhen and Guangdong are sometimes called the “hardware Silicon Valley."The privacy concerns around smart glasses — and why they become even more sensitive when AI is involved.How Chinese brands are approaching privacy, compliance, GDPR, and international certifications.Why companies like XREAL, RayNeo, Rokid, Alibaba, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Even Realities are taking very different strategies.Why real-time translation, payments, productivity, gaming, and smart home control are major use cases in China.The difference between Western and Chinese consumer behavior when it comes to smart glasses.Why developer communities may be the missing piece for Chinese smart glasses to go global.How open-source AI models and user choice could influence the future of AI-powered wearables.If you're a developer, founder, marketer, investor, or XR enthusiast trying to understand the next wave of wearable computing, this episode is a must-listen.Guest: Sylvan Shen - XR Technical Producer, China Reporter at ImmersiveWireHost: Ely Santos - Metavertising PodcastFollow Sylvan Shen on LinkedIn.Follow Ely Santos on LinkedIn.

Welcome to Episode 290Only 6 minutes late this week, practically a record for us!We get into gaming first by discussing RV there yet, a physic based puzzle game where you have to get your RV back from your camping trip by navigating across a large physics-based map full of rock slides and chaos, its like a crossover of Mudrunner and a Top Gear road trip. We talk about the clever damage system, the fun winching and physic mechanics, but agree it best played with friends Onto a more disappointing game, Ram has been playing Layers of Fear. It was mean to be a psychological horror but delivers nothing but relentless cheap jump scares and a paper-thin gameplay loop, with you walking from room to room and puzzle so simple they don't deserve to be call thatSkazz has been getting back into VR and the new Meta Quest 3. He talk about the new features like the colour pass through with mild mixed reality, the excellent pancake lenses and how the wireless PC streaming works brilliantlyWe also discuss defeating werewolves with chocolate, stolen game collections, the slimmer Gabe Newell and Gaussian splatting NotesGabe Newell is looking better then ever beforeGather your mate and road trip in an easily destroyed motorhome in RV There yet?Disappointing psychological horror game Layers of FearGet back into VR with meta's new headsetCorridors take on the new tech of Gaussian SplatsWe look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on 7th May 2026, at 18:30 GMT+1 either on YouTube or Twitch

In this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Renji Bijoy joins Chris Lustrino to discuss why he believes spatial computing glasses will become the next major computing platform after smartphones. Immersed began as a VR productivity platform designed to make remote work feel more collaborative and immersive. Today, the company has over 1.5 million users who use its virtual workspace software to create multiple virtual monitors, collaborate with remote teams, and work from anywhere using VR headsets. But Renji believes the existing hardware from major tech companies still falls short. That led Immersed to develop Visor, its own lightweight spatial computing headset designed specifically for work productivity. The company is betting that slimmer, lighter, AI-enabled glasses can finally bring spatial computing into the mainstream. Chris and Renji explore the future of remote work, AI-powered computing, enterprise adoption, hardware manufacturing, crowdfunding strategy, and why Immersed sees itself competing to become the next major tech platform rather than simply building another VR app.

The New Dads dive into a great listener email covering why it's time to kick Roblox to the curb, the magic of the Steam Deck on snow days, and fan-made Pokémon ROM hacks. We also debate the perfect birthday gift for an 8-year-old (Switch 2 vs. Meta Quest 3), discuss whether the Pokémon TCG Mobile app is just a digital pack addiction, and look ahead at the massive hype surrounding Crimson Desert. Finally, we come to terms with the harsh reality that our kids are already better at Hades than we ever were. Connect With Us: Have a gaming dad fail, success, or "headshake moment" to share? We want to hear from you!

You drop into an iMessage quick tip and quickly branch into a whole toolkit for running your Apple life smarter. You learn faster ways to edit messages, how Slack's up-arrow muscle memory carries over, and why platforms limit your edit window. From there, the show rolls into clever NFC and QR workflows for appliance manuals, Time Machine fixes over SMB on Synology, and a deep dive on spam and email hygiene: Fastmail's undelete safety net, SaneBox's smart filtering, Apple Mail's categories, plus when to reach for SpamSieve or even your own chatbot to watch junk folders so you Don't Get Caught losing important mail. The crew also compares real‑world email providers, DNS setups (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9), and router‑level changes that stabilize your network. You get a reality check on legacy cruft—Trip Mode, MacFUSE, ancient launch agents—still loading after years of Migration Assistant, and how tools like Lingon and CleanMyMac help you audit what's secretly running. On the fun-and-productivity side, you hear honest impressions of Apple Vision Pro: tabletop-style multiplayer games like Demeo, surprisingly usable virtual desktops, the importance of dual straps and decent cases, and when to skip hotel Wi‑Fi in favor of hotspots or a UniFi travel router so your Macs, iPads, and headsets all “think” they're at home. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1131 for Monday, March 2nd, 2026 March 2nd: National Banana Cream Pie Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba!

Hailing Frequencies Open - Send us a message!The gang bear witness to Picard's "Broken Pieces" and live to talk about it. Agnes watches a reaction video, Picard recieves the parent voice, and Seven plays some Meta Quest. Meanwhile Cameron has some miming notes, Rob loses track of time, and Bobi names her period. Engage!

We dive deep into the Meta Quest v85 update, the removal of the Horizon Feed, and how the new Navigator UI is changing the user experience. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": Valve's Steam Frame delay. With component prices skyrocketing, can Valve still deliver the "Steam Deck of VR"? This conversation delves into the evolving landscape of virtual reality, focusing on recent updates in hardware, Meta's Horizon platform, and the implications of AI in social media and smart glasses. The speakers discuss the challenges of rising PC hardware prices, the user experience in social VR, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI features. They also explore the future of XR technology and Meta's strategic direction, emphasizing the importance of user feedback and engagement in product development. In this conversation, Bradley Lynch and GT discuss the evolving landscape of VR gaming, focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by new hardware and software developments. They explore the implications of Steam's gaming ecosystem, the potential of eye tracking technology, and the future of social gaming experiences in VR. The discussion also touches on Apple's recent acquisition related to XR technology and the innovative features of new gaming applications like Retrocade

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!
