-Amazon has revealed that it's currently working on smart glasses designed for delivery drivers, confirming previous reports about the project. The company said that glasses use AI-powered sensing capabilities and computer vision to detect what their cameras are seeing. Drivers then get guidance through the glasses' heads-up display embedded right into the lens. -YouTube is adding a timer to Shorts to help curb all of that incessant doomscrolling, according to a report by TechCrunch. This feature is rolling out to all users after being spotted in an Android APK file earlier this year. Here's how it works. Users set a daily time limit for Shorts via the app's settings. Once reached, they'll see a pop-up reminding them to take a break. This pop-up is easily dismissed with a tap, but it's the thought that counts. -The Spotify app has been freezing and crashing on some Android devices, according to multiple users and a report by 9to5Google. This is happening only when a phone or tablet is connected to Wi-Fi, so keep on listening to Spotify while out and about. Users first took note of the problem around two weeks ago, taking to Spotify forums to address their concerns. Many folks say that the app becomes essentially unusable on Wi-Fi due to the constant crashes and freezing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Antony “Skarred Ghost” Vitillo—legendary XR blogger, developer, and authentic voice of the immersive tech world—joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a sharp, candid take on why spatial computing keeps breaking hearts (and bank accounts). Vitillo, calling in from Torino (and Nutella country), takes listeners inside his evolution from reluctant Twitter handle-user to one of the industry's essential critical thinkers. With 30,000+ social followers and nearly a decade at the helm of the Skarred Ghost blog, Tony has borne witness to every device cycle, product hype wave, and reality check XR can muster.The hosts open with news that captures the collective whiplash of the sector: Samsung finally names its long-awaited “Moohan” headset the Galaxy XR; Apple is reportedly pivoting away from Vision Pro follow-ups in favor of pursuing AI smart glasses, chasing the hardware trend Meta has tried to lead—with several Magic Leap alumni shaping both companies' next moves. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3 in text-to-video generation, and “AI feeds” continue to spark debates about separating synthetic from real in our content streams.Guest HighlightsVitillo unveils XR truths learned the hard way:From accidental blogger to “Master Yoda”: Tony's accidental rise began with an anonymous Twitter handle, a failed AR/VR startup, and a mentor's advice to “own” XR expertise—eventually outlasting the startup itself.The real cost of authenticity: European sensibilities (practical, cost-effective, resistant to Silicon Valley bombast) shaped Tony's on-the-ground verdicts: the Google Glass era was “too early,” even good implementations often wither outside logistics and niche use-cases.Product vs. Prototype and the patience gap: Tony, Rony, and Ted all agree: too many XR launches are rushed by investor pressure from prototype to product, skipping the long, hard path of patience. Meta's Quest Pro is called out as a textbook “rush job” that failed to meet real readiness.Why XR is “harder than Mars:” Decades and $150B+ spent, yet still no universal hit. Tony argues the impossible form factor challenge (stuffing room-scale computation into eyewear) is compounded by deeper neuroscience—humans simply recoil from something too “in your face.” Physics is tough, but brains and social norms are the real brick wall.Why Roblox, not VRChat, “won” the metaverse: Most of the sector's big dreams faded back to mobile during and after Covid. With Rec Room, VRChat, and others all scaling back, Roblox's mass adoption proves device accessibility outweighs idealism. Tony expects cycles of platform hype, but says only rare combinations of luck, timing, and use-case ever sustain an audience.News Highlights Samsung's “Moohan” headset renamed Galaxy XR—signaling mainstream branding push into the AR/VR hardware race.Apple shifts Vision Pro focus toward AI smart glasses—pivot after slow sales and sector criticism, echoing Meta's latest headset push.OpenAI Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3—AI video generation heats up, new feeds spark debates over AI vs. real content in social media.XR product launches called out for impatience—Meta's Quest Pro and others critiqued as rushed from prototype to product.Thanks to This Episode's SponsorsZappar's Mattercraft - 3D web development with AI assistant for real-time design and debuggingViture XR Glasses Luma Series - 52-degree field of view, 152-inch virtual screen for mobile gaming Hosted on Acast.

Are iGlasses going to be a thing? Bloomberg is reporting that Apple is giving up on making a new version of its Apple Vision pro headset in favour of creating glasses, like Meta. Meta's glasses have been more successful than anyone expected and are currently leading the market. Apple has redirected teams to focus on the glasses approach – the first without a screen are expected to be announced next year, then those with a screen in 2027, giving Meta a massive advantage. Apples glasses will apparently rely on voice interaction and artificial intelligence – two areas that Apple hasn't exactly excelled at in recent years. Imagine TikTok, but none of the videos are real. That's here. The Sora app is powered by OpenAI's video generation model of the same name. The videos are wildly realistic – in one example where someone does a backflip on a paddleboard, the physics of it all is perfect. The paddleboard on the water, the impact of the backflip, all looks real. You can even upload data of yourself, give consent, and you can appear in these artificial videos. They say X-rated videos are impossible to create. Public figures cannot be added unless they have given their consent. The app is currently #1 on the Apple App Store but requires an invite code.

Paul Travers, founder and CEO of Vuzix Corporation, returns to join hosts Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a masterclass in enterprise XR resilience and the long game of hardware innovation. As the architect behind the world's first consumer VR headset (the VFX1 in 1992), Travers has survived every boom and bust cycle in wearable technology for over three decades. Now publicly traded with 80,000 shareholders, Vuzix represents what Rony calls "the GameStop of XR"—a dramatically undervalued company ($200M market cap) that could become the consolidation hub for smaller XR startups while taking on tech giants with superior enterprise focus and manufacturing capabilities.The episode opens with the hosts' unfiltered critique of Meta's recent Connect announcements, where Rony argues that despite $100+ billion invested in Reality Labs, Meta's Ray-Ban display glasses represent minimal advancement over the original Google Glass—a "disappointing" return that small startups with minimal funding are already surpassing. This sets the stage for deeper discussions about Neon, the controversial app paying users $800/month to record conversations for AI training (which Rony compares to Neal Stephenson's "gargoyles" from Snow Crash), and Meta AI's new "Vibes" feed that separates AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake concerns.Guest HighlightsTravers pulls back the curtain on three decades of XR survival:The "Lindy Effect" advantage—how Vuzix's longevity through multiple extinction events creates predictive value for continued success, like "alligators surviving when everything else didn't make it"Enterprise-first strategy—why focusing on warehouse workers, Amazon distribution centers, and pharmaceutical operations (1,000+ systems deployed at Nadro) creates sustainable revenue streams versus consumer fashion battlesManufacturing at scale—Vuzix's Rochester facility produces 1.5 million waveguides annually at 90%+ yield rates, enabling 10,000-unit weekly deliveries and potential silicon carbide waveguide production (the same exotic technology Meta claims costs $10,000 per pair in their Orion prototypes)AI-agnostic platform approach—unlike Meta's closed ecosystem, Vuzix allows BMW, Amazon, and other enterprise clients to run their own AI models locally through NVIDIA Blueprint technology for IP protectionThe "GameStop potential"—with smart money recognizing XR's AI-enabled inflection point, Travers envisions Vuzix becoming the acquisition vehicle for consolidating smaller XR companies, potentially reaching the $20+ billion valuation that experience and manufacturing capability warrantNews Segment HighlightsMeta Connect critique reveals $100+ billion Reality Labs investment yielded minimal advancement over original Google Glass—disappointing monocular displays that startups with minimal funding already surpassNeon app controversy pays users $800/month to record conversations for AI training, creating "voice gargoyles" that transform people into data input mechanismMeta AI launches "Vibes" newsfeed separating AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake and authenticity concerns across social platformsChatGPT privacy settings reminder that users can disable data sharing through hidden personalization and security menus to avoid training their AI replacementsThank you to our sponsors, Zappar and Viture!

Vergesst Google Glass: Die aktuellen Smart Glasses machen fast alles anders, und zwar besser. Sie sind alltagstaugliche Brillen mit überraschenden Funktionen, aber auch einigen Kinderkrankheiten. c't-Redakteur Nico Jurran hat die drei aktuellen getestet, die Ray-Ban Meta, die Even Realities G1 und ein Vorserienmodell der Rokid Glasses. Und er kennt die angekündigten Modelle etwa von Meta, TCL oder L'Atitude 52°N. Im Podcast klären wir zuerst die Begriffe: Diese Smart Glasses sind im Alltag unterstützende Brillen, die Zusatzinformationen akustisch oder optisch einblenden – im Unterschied zu VR- oder AR-Brillen, die man eher ausschließlich nutzt, die einen ins Geschehen hineinziehen. Und dann gibts noch reine Datenbrillen, die eher tragbare Monitore sind. Die Smart Glasses unterscheiden sich deutlicher als manch andere Produktkategorie in ihren Funktionen: Die Ray-Ban teilt sich nur akustisch mit, die G1 nur per Einblendung, die Rokid kann beides. Alle haben Mikrofone, aber nicht alle eine Kamera. Die Technik sitzt in den Bügeln, ein Großteil der Intelligenz ist bislang aber aufs Handy mit die Brillen-App ausgelagert. Auch der Datenschutz kommt zur Sprache, sowohl für die Träger selbst als auch für die von ihnen beobachtete Umgebung. Nico erklärt ausführlich, was die Brillen leisten: Übersetzung von Bild und Ton, Einblenden von Texten, Navigationshilfen, Schnappschüsse und Videos aufzeichnen, Teleprompter-Dienste, Apps steuern. Er berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen und er schätzt ein, wo die kommenden Modelle besser sein könnten, beispielsweise farbige Displays. Tatsächlich geht die Entwicklung derzeit stark voran: Wer Interesse an einer smarten Brille hat, sollte vielleicht gerade noch keine kaufen, sondern zukünftige Modelle abwarten.

In diesem QuarterlyStützle Update spricht Karo Junker de Neui wieder mit Vanessa Stützle, CEO der LUQOM Group, über die spannendsten Entwicklungen im deutschen E-Commerce. Alle drei Monate ordnen die beiden Markttrends, Herausforderungen und Chancen ein – dieses Mal mit besonderem Fokus auf Konsumstimmung, AI und Agentic Commerce. Zum Einstieg geht es um die neuesten Indikatoren von GfK und ifo: Die Einkommenserwartungen sinken, die Konsumstimmung ist gedämpft – auch spürbar auf der diesjährigen DMEXCO. Vanessa berichtet gleichzeitig, wie sich LUQOM trotz des schwierigen Umfelds entwickelt: hoch einstelliges Wachstum, steigende Profitabilität und eine erfolgreich abgeschlossene Refinanzierung. Anschließend greifen Karo und Vanessa das Thema der letzten Folge auf: Sheglam bei DM. Überraschend starke Konsumentenreaktionen haben die Debatte geprägt – doch beide bleiben überzeugt: Der Schritt von dm ist strategisch richtig und zukunftsweisend. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dieses Mal auf AI und Agentic Commerce: Die beiden sprechen darüber, wie Unternehmen es schaffen, Pilotprojekte erfolgreich in die Breite zu bringen, warum das richtige Mindset und die Unternehmenskultur entscheidend für den Erfolg von AI-Integration sind, welche Rolle Agentic Commerce für Händler spielen könnte und wieso Vanessa einen engen Zusammenhang zu neuer Hardware wie den Smart Glasses von Meta und Oakley sieht.

Discover how HumanWare is unlocking new accessibility potential with Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, bringing AI-powered navigation and object recognition to blind users, plus your emails on gambling access, file sync solutions, and more. In this episode, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the listener inbox with discussions ranging from the accessibility of online gambling apps to syncing files across Windows devices. They explore why mainstream organisations often avoid advocating for accessible gambling, emphasising that accessibility is not a moral question. The team then turns to the exciting news from Meta Connect 2025, where HumanWare revealed how they're prototyping AI-powered applications for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Louis-Philippe Massé from HumanWare joins the conversation to explain how smart glasses could enable navigation, object recognition, and “follow-me” functionality for blind users—all potentially at a lower cost than traditional assistive tech. The episode also touches on privacy concerns for disabled AI users and highlights the upcoming AMI Audio show Reflections.
