Will Microsoft soon take the throne from Apple? We delve into the perceived lack of innovation from Apple and the escalating investments from Meta in the AR and VR industry. And, what's this about Vuzix joining the AR glasses realm? As always, we make sure to cover where the best deals are for Black Friday and, surprise surprise, they're not in tech! From pre-packaged Thanksgiving dinners to unpredictable furniture sales, we leave no stone unturned. In the world of stocks, we're focusing our sights on up-and-comers in the EV market, while keeping our eyes peeled for traditional car stocks, a hot topic for our hosts. In the spirit of the season, we dish on our favorite Thanksgiving foods and introduce you to the mythical beet sandwich. Will this be the year a $10 Thanksgiving feast goes viral on TikTok? To wrap up, we delve into a sports update and share our current stock picks. Buckle up and let's get started; you don't want to miss this episode of Capitalist Investor."War for the Tech Giants:Microsoft and Apple are locked in a battle for world dominance, with Microsoft on its way to overtake its traditional rival. While Apple faces criticism over a perceived lack of innovation, particularly in virtual reality, a wildcard enters the fray. Meta has built a considerable investment footprint in AR and VR technology. The hosts also spotlight Vuzix, a stock specializing in augmented reality glasses and seen as a potential acquisition candidate.The Illusion of Black Friday and Cyber Monday Discounts:Once steeped in both anticipation and buyer's remorse, Black Friday and Cyber Monday could potentially lose their luster this year. According to the hosts, packaged goods and appliances might see the biggest price drops, while tech and furniture prices could stagnate. They also discuss how consumer attitudes have shifted, with less confrontation over mispriced items. This trend could affect the sales of big box stores dealing with compressed margins and a reduced sales forecast.The Unhealthy Reality of Processed Foods:Thanksgiving brought about a wave of patrons looking for cheap meal options, and the hosts sounded the alarm over heavily processed and unhealthy options. They weigh in on the health implications based on their own experiences with fast food and condemn the false economy and health risks of rock bottom prices when it comes to what we put on our plates.The Rise of the EV Market:Amid discussions about growth and green initiatives, electric vehicles (EVs) have piqued the hosts' interest. They cover stock movements from earlier in the year, interest rate hikes affecting businesses, and the current market valuation. The hosts show particular interest in a company with significant potential in the EV space, setting them up as potential winners in the EV market.OpenAI under the microscope:The hosts dive into the dismissal of OpenAI's CEO and what that may mean for Microsoft. Speculation arises over how this could affect Microsoft's strategic plans and whether they may incorporate OpenAI's technology into their own products. Similarly, Elon Musk's involvement with OpenAI comes under scrutiny, with speculation mounting about his intentions and any potential developments.

MIT spinout, Xander, recently unveiled its first product at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. XanderGlasses are powered by Vuzix smart glasses and display real-time captions of in-person conversations to help people with hearing loss. In this augmented reality experience, captions are displayed seamlessly right in the field of view of the wearer. In this episode, host Amyn Amlani talks with Xander's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Westner, and the Founder & CEO of Vuzix, Paul Travers. They discuss the motivation behind the creation of XanderGlasses, how the technology was developed, why they chose to partner with Vuzix and the new and emerging use cases for XanderGlasses. Following a successful pre-seed fundraise in January, the company hopes to have two models of XanderGlasses available for purchase in mid-year 2023.

At CES earlier this year, Vuzix unveiled Vuzix Shield, a revolutionary leap for enterprise AR smart glasses. They are lightweight, stylish, prescription-ready safety glasses and a powerful 8-core CPU combine to deliver a singular wearable experience. Vuzix's CEO, Paul Travers, rejoins me on Tech Talks Daily for a catchup on their many developments and milestones and to discuss how Vuzix's technology today is allowing people to connect themselves to the metaverse easily. We discuss how their smart glasses now support Microsoft Endpoint Manager to streamline device onboarding and provisioning for Microsoft Teams. We also talk about other strategic partnerships to address the future of the deskless workforce. About Paul Paul Travers is the founder of Vuzix and has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 1997 and as a member of our Board of Directors since November 1997. Before the formation of Vuzix, Mr. Travers founded both e-Tek Labs, Inc. and Forte Technologies Inc. He has been a driving force behind the development of Vuzix products. He is a nationally recognized industry expert with more than 30 years of experience in the consumer electronics field and 26 years of experience in the virtual reality and virtual display fields. He holds an Associate degree in engineering science from Canton, ATC, and a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and computer engineering from Clarkson University.
Paul Travers is the Founder and CEO of Vuzix, a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality technologies and products for the consumer and enterprise markets. Prior to Vuzix, Paul was an engineer at Eastman Kodak, innovating the future of digital cameras. He went on to become a serial entrepreneur, having started multiple hardware technology companies, including in sound cards for PCs and USB connectivity products.Vuzix was formed more than 20 years ago, and through it, Paul has seen spatial computing technology evolve from the early days of VR in the mid-1990s to the highly capable AR smart glasses of today.In this conversation, Paul describes the Vuzix hardware lineup, including the Blade and the M-series. We discuss how they're being used, where they shine, and what's special about the upcoming Shield device. The Shield will be one of the first devices with a µLED display, and emphasizes “wearability” over field of view or functionality. [quote]We go on to discuss why wearability is so important and how much field of view is big enough to satisfy a large number of use cases. We also discuss the importance of µLED technology and how to solve for prescription at scale. Paul also describes how he wants to support OEMs in the consumer market and provides an overview of how Vuzix will invest the 100+ million dollars they have recently raised.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

Augmented reality (AR) is buzzing, with more demand and opportunities, accelerated partly by a closed world. While smart glasses aren't new, adoption has been low, due more to the fact they just weren't wearable. On today's episode, host Dan Cui welcomed former colleague and friend, Paul Travers, a veteran in the space and CEO and Founder of Vuzix.Cui took viewers way back to the beginnings of virtual reality (VR) with one of Traver's first innovations, the first consumer VR headset comparing it to what available now. He said, “It got much smaller over time. The technology had a long way to go, and use cases have exploded for VR."The company's next-generation smart glass has all the features and functions of any AR product. What makes it unique is its wearability.Travers noted, “They are AR devices that allow you to work in the real world and access information you'd need from a tablet, but it's all hands-free.”They also use Waveguide optics and work like a phone and computer. The company picked up three CES (Consumer Electronics Show) awards this year for the product.The glasses are filling the gap at a time when being there in person isn't possible. “They work as remote support for the medical field, technicians, and others. It's really the future of computing,” Travers added.On the consumer side, Travers sees the glasses as possible a movement toward keeping “phones in your pocket.” With plug and play apps, users can look at a restaurant through the glasses and see their Yelp reviews. They can record a baseball game while actually watching it. Travers also shared the Smart Swim application that automates workouts, measures activity, and more.

Oculus Quest Wir hatten schon über die Gerüchte einer Oculus Quest 2 gesprochen und jetzt deutet immer mehr darauf hin, dass sie kommt. Zum einen wird der Verkauf der Oculus Quest erst in Österreich und Deutschland, dann weltweit gestoppt, dann tauchen auf einmal bei Walmart eine neue Oculus Brille im Listing auf.. Matze hat ein AUTOTHEMA?!? Das Matze jemals ein Autothema in Geektalk hat, das wundert ihn selbst. Da er sich aber ein neues gekauft hat und das natürlich mit Technik ausgestattet ist, gibt es Sinn. Der Skoda Kodiaq hat zwar Apple CarPlay, allerdings nicht Wireless. Hier kommt eine cooles China-Gimmick, welches Matze gefunden hat ins Spiel: mit dem Carlinkit könnt Ihr Euer Auto aufrüsten. Serientipp: Biohackers Netflix hat massiv Werbung für die Serie gemacht, zumindest in Peppis Account und so hat er mal reingeschaut. Biohackers ist eine kurzlebige deutsche Produktion, die nicht immer ganz realistisch ist, aber dennoch ganz interessant. Staffel 1 endet mit einem verschmerzbaren Cliffhanger, Staffel 2 ist schon bestätigt. Paper Mario: The Origami King Für den Urlaub musste bei Matze ein entspanntes Switch Spiel her. Was eignet sich besser als ein Mario Spiel? The Origami King ist der neueste Teil aus der Paper Mario Reihe und bis auf ein etwas lahmes Kampfsystem ein echt nettes Spiel. www.internet.de Wir hatten Weekend bereits als Musiktipp in der Sendung, nun ist das neue Album Lightwolf aber draußen. Welcher Track würde sich bei einem Geektalk besser eignen, als www.internet.de 🙂 News aus der Filmwelt Total Recall Die Zeiten ändern sich und damit auch die Einstellung der FSK. Im Jahr 1991 landete der Film Total Recall noch auf dem Index. 2011 wurde er ab 16 Jahren freigegeben und ab 19.11.2020 gibt es eine Neuauflage Uncut und in 4k.

Benefits of Gardening (0:00:00) When it comes to taking care of our bodies, giving ourselves a mental rest can change our entire attitude towards the day. For many of us, scrolling through social media is the default mental break we all turn to. But have you ever thought about gardening instead? Planting tomato seeds, fertilizing our lawns, or trimming rose bushes seems like more exhausting work. But, it might just be the mental health activity you need in your life. Joining us is psychologist Dr. Seth Gillihan, to discuss how gardening benefits our mental health. Five Two Love (0:14:55) Only 1 in 60 million births are to quintuplets. The number is surprisingly low, even with the development of fertility treatments, such as IVF. So, Skyler and Jamie Scott were definitely not expecting to hear that after years of trying to have another child, they would be having five. The Scotts currently have seven children, five of them being two-year-old quintuplets. They are internet sensations and run a YouTube channel called “Five Two Love” where they vlog about their fun family life and feature their everyday adventures. They join us to talk about their experience raising quintuplets. Less Meat at Family Meals (0:30:26) There are lots of opinions out there about the best ways to eat healthier. One of those opinions is the idea that you should include less meat on the dinner table. This might seem unreasonable considering the fact that nutritionists say kids need an average of 40 grams of protein a day or 20 chicken nuggets. You could replace the nuggets with ½ a cup of peanut butter... but surely there are other options. So we invited friend of the show Carrie Ann Rhodes to share her experience with us about eating less meat as a family without sacrificing variety at the dinner table. Cashless Society (0:50:36) It seems like every day we're moving further away from using cash. Checks, then debit and credit cards and now things like Apple Pay have replaced dollar bills and coins as the most popular form of payment. Cash is becoming the more cumbersome option, but are we really ready to say goodbye to cash entirely? Here to discuss what a cashless society would really look like is Caleb Silver, Editor in Chief of Investopedia. Smart Glasses (1:05:32) In Ironman, Tony Stark wears a pair of powerful smart glasses that give him infrared vision and the ability to communicate with artificial intelligence to do whatever he wants. While our tech is probably not up to Ironman's speed yet, we are making incredible breakthroughs in technology and smart glasses do exist. We wanted to know more about this advancement in technology. So, we invited CEO Paul Travers and director Matt Margolis of Vuzix, a smart glasses company, to discuss these glasses and what they can do. Dr. Seuss's Birthday (1:20:03) Host of The Apple Seed Sam Payne joins us to help us celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday!
Vuzix is a leading supplier of Smart-Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and products for the consumer and enterprise markets. The company wowed crowds in Las Vegas, where the upcoming Vuzix Labs Smart Swim product received two CES 2020 Innovation Awards in recognition of its outstanding design and engineering. Imagine watching Netflix while swimming. Smart Swim, an innovative smart glasses accessory for swimmers, is the first smart glasses product born out of Vuzix Labs, a newly created rapid development product and engineering division of Vuzix. Earlier this month, Vuzix also unveiled its newest AR Smart Glasses - the M4000. The M4000 utilizes Vuzix's latest see-through waveguide optics and is built with Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR1 processor for smooth and high functioning operations. Paul Travers is the founder of Vuzix and has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 1997 and as a member of the board of directors since November 1997. Before the formation of Vuzix, founded both e-Tek Labs, Inc. and Forte Technologies Inc. The driving force behind the development of Vuzix products. With more than 30 years' experience in the consumer electronics field, and 25 years' experience in the virtual reality and virtual display fields, is a nationally recognized industry expert. We discuss the recent developments at Vuzix as well as the AR industry as a whole.
Today’s guest, Lance Anderson of Lance-AR, got tired of seeing so many XR providers only help clients achieve their stated ROI goals, then leaving them to their own devices to scale. Lance helps those companies today, by understanding the need to marry emerging tech with legacy systems, so disruptive tech doesn’t seem so disruptive. Alan: Coming up on the XR for Business Podcast, today we’re speaking with Lance Anderson, founder and CEO of Lance-AR, a consulting and services company for enterprise AR space, focused on helping organizations scale deployment. We’ll be learning about the challenges and learnings from his experience. All that and more on the XR for Business Podcast. Lance, welcome to the show. Lance: Hey, great, thanks for having me on. Alan: My absolute pleasure. It’s very exciting to meet somebody as passionate as you are about bringing augmented reality to the enterprise. But before we start, explain how you got here and what is it you do for customers? Lance: Sure. So I’m coming from — let’s just round it down, let’s call it 15 years — in the enterprise space selling software and services and automation, things like that. Ended up at Vuzix in 2015 and had a great run with those guys. Late 2018 I left Vuzix and started Lance-AR, because I was just frustrated. Frustrated with the lack of companies deploying augmented reality at scale. Everybody talks about the dizzying ROIs that are out there to get, and all the wonderful things and advantages that this technology brings. Yet no one was deploying at scale and I had this unique position at Vuzix — because there are so few hardware providers — that we were able to see thousands of pilots and POCs, in all different regions and different use cases. And we just saw so many of those either fail, sputter, or just kind of evaporate. So I wanted to take all that knowledge and bring it to the enterprise space and see if we could turn some things around. That’s why Lance-AR came about. And really what we do now is we connect enterprise users, AR hardware manufacturers and AR software providers, the problem solvers. We connect them all in an agnostic way, and try to make sure that these folks are set up in the right way for success, that they have a strategy for achieving success and then for taking success and moving it into what I would call scale deployment. So success could be a five unit pilot, but I don’t consider it success until it’s 500 units or a 1,000 units rolling to the company. So that’s in essence, what we do. Alan: That’s amazing. My first thought when you were talking about the challenges and pitfalls of getting caught in what they call “pilot purgatory” would be if you had to kind of focus on the five main things or six main things, what are those main challenges that make it so difficult to go from pilot to scale? Lance: Everybody’s at fault, frankly. So I’ve done a lot of sales and marketing in my day. The marketers in our industry are at fault. Promising future worlds today that just aren’t quite possible. There’s fault in the hardware manufacturers. Alan: We’ve got to call out Microsoft on making videos that people will go, “We want that!” Lance: It was Microsoft, SAP did one in 2014. Alan: Everybody’s been making these beautifully Hollywood produced videos on “Look at what you can do with AR!” And then they put the glasses on and are like, “Well, why is the view cut off?” They’re like, “Oh, yeah. Well, about that…” Lance: Not really. Not really. Well, almost. U

Paul Travers has been in the XR business long enough to remember the early headsets, which were not exactly elegant in design – he describes one of his early models as a football helmet. But today, Vuzix has managed to shrink a ton of XR potential into sleek, sexy sunglasses that would look good on any goth noir vampire slayer. He chats with Alan about the advantages of svelte headsets, from military applications to making driving safer. Alan: Welcome to the XR for Business Podcast with your host, Alan Smithson. Today’s guest is Paul Travers. Paul is the founder of Vuzix and has served as the president and chief executive officer since 1997. Prior to the formation of Vuzix, Mr. Travers founded both e-Tek Labs and Forte Technologies Inc. He has been a driving force towards the development of products in the consumer market. With more than 25 years experience in consumer electronics field and 15 years experience in virtual reality and virtual display fields, he is a nationally recognized industry expert. He’s joined by Vuzix’s head of business development, Matt Margolis. If you want to learn more about the Vuzix platform and their headsets, you can visit vuzix.com. Paul and Matt, welcome to the show, guys. Paul: Hey, Alan. Thanks for having us. Alan: It’s my absolute honor. You guys are making augmented reality headsets that people actually will want to wear. And I think it’s amazing, your Blade glasses look like a pair of awesome sunglasses. They’re lightweight. They’re wireless. They’re every– they’re all the things. How long has it taken you guys to get there? I mean, you started in 1997. You must have gone through massive iterations along the way. Paul: Yeah, Alan. I mean, we’ve made all the big stuff, the crazy things. They really started in ’93 or ’94 when we started shipping our very first VR headset, the VFX-1. And if you look it up, you’ll see VFX-1, it’s a football helmet sized gizmo. And then in ’97, actually I bought out all the outside shareholders and started Vuzix. A little bit of history there, we started in the defense space. We were making thermal weapons sight engines that go in the back of the light/medium/heavy thermal weapons type programs for DRS and Raytheon. And doing that, we got an opportunity to work with the special forces guys. And if you think about it, these guys are carrying around 300 pounds of gear. They got their laptop. They’re basically the ultimate mobile wearable tech guy. And at night, they would light up like a Christmas tree. So they put a poncho over their head. They had all this gear on and they came to Vuzix and said, look, could you guys make a pair of Oakley style sunglasses? They called it the Oakley Gate. And they said, if we could do that, half the military would buy these things. And so even all the way back then — it was ’97 to 2000 — these Special Forces guys wanted cool. They wanted lightweight. They wanted it truly functional. And so over the years, we’ve come out with a lot of different devices and each iteration we’ve been pushing on, making them smaller and lighter. We were talking a little bit earlier about the top-down versus bottom-up approach. I mean, there’s some really cool technology that’s out there that’s doing all spatial computing and the likes, but it’s big. And for Vuzix, we’re taking the lightweight, trim, wearable all day side of it, but highly functional. When you’re looking for streaming video applications where you’re doing see-what-I-see for maintenance, repair, and overhaul, or you’re in a warehouse all day long taking stuff out of that warehouse. You don’t want a great big, heavy thing. You want a supe

Paul Travers is the Founder and CEO of Vuzix, a leading supplier of smartglasses and augmented reality products for both the enterprise and consumer markets.Prior to Vuzix, Paul was an engineer at Eastman Kodak, innovating the future of digital cameras. He went on to become and a serial entrepreneur, having started multiple hardware technology companies, including in sound cards for PCs and USB connectivity products.Vuzix was formed more than 20 years ago, and through it, Paul has seen spatial computing technology evolve from the early days of VR in the mid-1990s, to the highly capable AR smartglasses of today.In this conversation, Paul talks about that market evolution and the current state of the art from Vuzix.As a company, Vuzix focuses on the form factor as a critical design element when creating their products, and Paul disagrees with the alternative approach of creating large, bulky headsets that are difficult to wear for extended periods of time.Paul goes on to discuss the use cases that will drive early consumer adoption, and the potential impact of Apple releasing their own pair of smartglasses.We also debate the pros and cons of displays technologies, including DLP, laser beam scanning, and micro LED, as well as the tradeoffs of having a single display versus glasses with displays covering both eyes.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

Neue iPads braucht das Land Nach eher Standard-iPhones bringt Apple etwas mehr Schwung in sein Angebot: neue iPad Pros mit “randlosem” Design, USB C Anschluss und neuem Pencil. Wir haben für Euch Display, Performance und eine eventuelle Möglichkeit als MacBook Ersatz im Alltag getestet. Klatsche für die Telekom Mobilfunk in Deutschland ist teuer. Zu teuer. Und da kommen dann ganz tolle Angebote bei denen bestimmte Streaming Dienste nicht auf das Guthaben angerechnet werden. Viele Kunden finden das toll und empfinden die Verträge dann nicht mehr als so problematisch, doch dieses Vorgehen ist ein Problem in Sachen Netzneutralität. Glücklicherweise verstößt es auch gleich noch gegen EU Recht, denn bei Stream On der Telekom gilt die Ausnahme nur im Inland. Bundesnetzagentur not amused. Und wir finden das auch nicht gut! Das Boot – die neue Serie Als Sky etwa 2 Jahren eine neue Serie zum Kult Titel “Das Boot” angekündigt hatte, waren viele doch sehr skeptisch. Was Sky nun aber mit den 8 Episoden der 1. Staffel abgeliefert hat, überzeugt dann doch. Die Quoten bzw. die Abrufe auf VoD sind beachtlich. Das Boot Eine neue Brille Wieder mal eine neue Datenbrille. Diesmal heißt sie Vuzix. Wobei so neu ist der Anbieter nicht. Die Erfahrungen in der Industrie gehen schon 20 Jahre zurück, aber nun soll das erste Modell auch für Consumer kommen und die Developer Version ist aktuell für 1100$schon bestellbar. Wir sind gespannt, was sie alles können wird. Interessant ist, dass die Blade recht normal aussieht. Mal schauen, wann sie wirklich bestellbar sein wird und was sie dann kostet. Masta Ace is back! Jahrelang gab es nichts Neues von Kult Rapper Masta Ace, bekannt durch Born to roll! Nun kommt er überraschend mit einem sehr old-school klingenden Album mit dem Namen “A Breukelen Story”. Hammer gut und wir stellen Euch die erste Single “Brooklyn” vor. Bluetooth Rant Bluetooth ist eine tolle Sache. Ein Standard, der sich durchsetzt. Jetzt hat Peppi fürs Heimtheater extra neue Kopfhörer gekauft und stellt fest… Die gehen nicht mit Sony Playstation 4 und dem Sky Receiver. Ein Rant über mangelnde Implementierung von Standards… Ein neues Tetris… ….das hat die Games Welt gebraucht. Dachte sich Matze als Sony Tetris Effect auf der E3 angekündigt wurde. Tetsuya Mizuguchi ist als Mentor im Projekt und es kam ein faszinierender, audio-visueller Trip heraus! Back to the past Nachdem Red Dead Redemption nicht so Peppis Spiel war, hat er sich bei Stream als Überbrückung Emergency20 geholt – und spielt seit langem mal wieder auf dem Mac.

Werden Amazon Go Stores eine Nummer Größer? Offenbar experimentiert Amazon gerade ein wenig mit den Go Stores. Die bisher geöffneten Läden haben ja nur Kleinigkeiten und sind keine vollwertigen Supermärkte. Könnte sich das eventuell ädern?

Remember Google Glass? Yeah it didn’t quite take off did it… It was just one example of a failed attempt to productize virtual reality. Its short lifespan along with a number of other products since the 90s has probably got you thinking that there is just a lot of buzz around augmented reality and virtual reality. While the technologies seem exciting, you might be on the fence when it comes to investing your time and energy exploring the technology. It doesn’t help that the cost associated with production and acquisition of the devices, and the limited toolset have made them both a challenge to tinker with. But I have some good news for you: much of the market is changing! There some great applications that are disrupting businesses and industries like healthcare, and a number of resources making it easier to build. In today’s Build episode we’re going to dive into the major differences and similarities between augmented reality (AR) versus virtual reality (VR). Then we’ll debunk the many myths around AR/VR. And in next week’s episode, we’ll share some of the cool applications that are coming on the market and a number of resources to help you get started! To help us out, I’ve invited Rose Haft who is the CEO and Founder of Lumenora. As you listen to today’s episode you’ll learn the following: What are the major differences between augmented reality (AR) versus virtual reality (VR) Why products like Google Glass failed to take off and what new products are learning from its demise Why you haven’t heard from companies that are actually making a mark Why big companies like Facebook are investing in a more long-term strategy How Rose Haft got introduced to AR/VR and how her company Lumenora is approaching the market -- Build is produced as a partnership between Femgineer and Pivotal Tracker. San Francisco video production by StartMotionMEDIA. -- Episode Transcript Poornima Vijayashanker: Wondering what all the buzz is about when it comes to augmented reality and virtual reality? Well, stay tuned to find out more. Welcome to *Build*, brought to you by Pivotal Tracker. I'm your host Poornima Vijayashanker. In each episode of *Build*, innovators and I debunk a number of myths and misconceptions related to building products, companies, and your career in tech. You've probably heard that augmented reality and virtual reality are the way of the future and maybe you're reluctant to join all the buzz. Well, I don't blame you. In today's episode we're going to debunk a number of myths and misconceptions related to augmented reality and virtual reality and then in the future episode we're going to talk about some of its applications. To help us out, I've invited Rose Haft, who is the CEO and founder of Lumenora. Thanks for joining us today, Rose. Rose Haft: Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me. Are augmented reality and virtual reality the same? Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. Why don't we just get started by introducing to our audience, in case they're not familiar, what exactly is the difference between augmented reality, AR, and virtual reality, VR? Rose Haft: Absolutely. Yeah, so augmented reality and virtual reality are a way to have a computer interface that's very close to the eye that allows for there to be a different way to interact with the computer than what you're used to today. Augmented reality makes it possible to see what's happening in the real world that everyone else can see, with a little bit of image overlay that will help to display text, or data. If you've heard of Magic Leap, it'll also help to display holograms and things that look very lifelike. The difference between augmented and virtual reality is that in virtual reality you have your own environment and you're not able to access any of the exterior world, so you're completely immersed inside of that environment. It makes it a little bit more difficult to see what's happening elsewhere, but there are a lot of really useful applications for being fully immersed and reasons why people really enjoy using it. Why Rose Haft (CEO and Founder of Lumenora) Got Interested In Augmented And Virtual Reality Poornima Vijayashanker: Maybe you can tell us what got you interested in augmented and virtual reality and then we can talk about why you decided to start your company. Rose Haft: I got interested in augmented and virtual reality in high school. I knew I wanted to be an engineer and I had an opportunity to work as an intern at one of the local prototyping facilities. At that facility we were working on building advanced headsets for the military. I really had a chance to see how having a hands-free tool that could be worn can really do anything from help to save lives, as well as help to communicate silently between people. I thought it was really interesting, a different way of interacting in technology, than had ever been there before. Why Building Headsets for Augmented And Virtual Reality Was Challenging And Led To Limited Product Adoption Poornima Vijayashanker: What inspired you to start your company Lumenora? Rose Haft: Yeah. After working at several companies, including working at Meta helping to design the Meta II, I realized that there were a lot of logistical and engineering reasons why people weren't able to build the headsets that I felt like were ideal and also why those reasons are also part of the reasons why people don't want to adopt them. I was studying at Stanford a little bit of biomedical engineering and how to use sensors, like you would in surgery, and I thought it'd be great to incorporate them into a headset. Again, there were logistical reasons to doing that. After I found a partner company that could help solve one of the major problems in the area, and with my unique background in design, knowing how to design things differently, was really a great match to build something that is more advanced, more capable, and people actually want to wear it and use it. How Businesses Are Applying Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality To Their Business Processes Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. Do you mind sharing the application of what you're working on? Rose Haft: Yeah. Right now, we're kind of fitting into the maintenance repair and operations space. There are over 200 companies internationally that are using it to do things like supply chain management, companies like BMW who build cars find it useful to make sure they're choosing the right parts and putting them together in the right way, and making sure that their quality process, you don't have to go back and double check work, they're doing it right and the first time. Poornima Vijayashanker: Got it, so it's really a training platform— Rose Haft: Yep. Poornima Vijayashanker: For people, yeah. Rose Haft: We're adding in extra features and we're doing some fun and cutting edge things that will help to even more improve those industries, especially training. In order for people to learn skills, and trade crafts, and the majority of Americans who hold the same job title need to go to school to learn these things, and how to work on specific machines, and machine types. We'll be integrating a real-time training system where you can learn a new skill or a craft in real-time and you don't need to have the several years of school, so we'll be able to adopt robots faster, and self-driving cars, and those sort of things. Why People Have Been Reluctant To Adopt Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality Products Poornima Vijayashanker: Very nice. You mentioned early on that there's been a lot of reluctance to adopting this new technology, AR and VR. Why is that? Rose Haft: There's a lot of reluctance for a variety of reasons. People haven't found that they're stylish enough, or cool enough, and also really haven't found the benefits. They've really only seen the detriments and pullbacks as far as feeling like their security is being threatened or their privacy would be threatened because of the ability to record and take in information. I think the use cases are just now starting to be developed. One of my favorites is there's a 3D graphing app, and so you can use it for calculus. I know we're doing some fun and cutting edge things that really will help the average everyday person meet typical goals and those sort of things and it'll make it better and easier to adopt once those use cases are there. Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah, and we'll hold that thought. We're going to dive into those use cases in the next episode. There's also a lot of myths being propagated right now and I think one of them, because of the lack of adoption, people just are saying that AR/VR is dead and there's not much going on. Is that true? Are people not building these headsets anymore? Are they no longer investing in the technology infrastructure? Rose Haft: Yeah, that's absolutely not true— Poornima Vijayashanker: OK. Rose Haft: Whatsoever. Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. Why You Haven’t Heard From Companies That Are Actually Making A Mark In The Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality Market Rose Haft: There's still a lot of investing to try to find the right solutions and the right designs, so people can actually wear them and adopt them. I know companies like mine have tried to stay as much out of the media as possible, because people have spent billions of dollars trying to find the right solution, and as soon as you put something out there, people feel like they can help themselves. Working on companies like mine who are working on very proprietary things, or making sure that they're developing and building strength, and so we're doing a lot of things in the background that can't be seen quite yet, and eventually will come to mainstream once we really feel like we'll be able to offer something that people really want. Poornima Vijayashanker: Are there any other myths that are being propagated, aside from the one around it being dead? Rose Haft: Yeah. People think they're ugly. Poornima Vijayashanker: Right. What Led To The Demise Of The Google Glass And How New Products Are Learning From Its Failures Rose Haft: The glass hole is the scared term that's used and we're building something that will be a lot more sleek and stylish and have a lot more options in order to wear it and have it look different. I think the use cases that we're developing will be cool enough and necessary enough that people will want to adopt it anyways. Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. You're seeing a lot of friction just in terms of the adoption because of change of behavior because people don't see this as prevalent, so that makes sense. There's already a number of big players in the market today. Facebook has Oculus. Google, like you mentioned, used to have Google Glass. What exactly is the difference between some of these big players, and maybe what you're building, and what you see other people building? Rose Haft: The main differences between each of the companies are the form factor and the tech- Poornima Vijayashanker: OK. Rose Haft: The technology that's being used to develop them. There are several different optical technologies that are used and those really make a big difference in what a headset looks like. Most of the virtual reality headsets have a screen like your cell phone that's in front of the eyes and there are lenses that help you to see an image clearly. That's one type of technology. Companies like Google have something called a beam splitter inside the Google Glass and while it's a smaller form factor, it has limited capabilities. Companies like Vuzix have something called a wave guide that has limitations around it as far as the brightness of the image, and the amount of the screen that's able to be filmed. That might be a very technical explanation, but- Poornima Vijayashanker: That's OK, we have a very technical audience. Rose Haft: Well, this is...I'm hoping to share- Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. Rose Haft: Relevant information. The biggest difference between each of the systems is the way the computer image is generated so somebody can see it. Those are really the big three ones that you see right now. Meta has a direct reflection. I helped to come up with that design. I built a...Meta hired me because I had built a prototype and they thought my prototype was cool and they hired me on to help with that. How You Can Separate The Fact From Fiction Around Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah, that's awesome. When our audience out there is trying to evaluate between fact and fiction when it comes down to augmented reality and virtual reality, what would you say to kind of arm them? Rose Haft: Yeah. In order to help understand the difference between fact and fiction in an augmented and virtual reality environment, a lot of companies are going out and giving a lot of information and showing pictures and those sort of things, without actually having a product. It's really important to look at how close is whatever is seen actually able to go out and be used in the world. Also, companies that have a lot of hype, where they are getting the most press and it seems most exciting, aren't necessarily the ones who are building the most useful tools. I think it's kind of...Companies can be like people. If they're kind of showing off a whole lot, but not really putting anything behind the game, then there's probably a problem with it. Otherwise, I encourage your audience, everyone out there, to really learn the science behind what's happening. Part of the reason why we've been able to do things differently at Lumenora is because I knew the science, and I was able to go through and do things differently, because I knew the limitations of the methods trying to be implemented. Science, and also fact check, and double check if something's actually ready, or usable, or wearable. Why Big Companies Like Facebook Are Investing In A More Long Term Strategy Around Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality Companies like Facebook who have a five-year plan in order to build something and they've talked about that at F8 and those sort of things, they haven't necessarily released anything publicly to show what they're working on, and those are the companies that are more genuinely putting an effort into creating something useful before they go out and get credit for something they've not yet done. Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. No, that makes a lot of sense. Well thank you so much, Rose. This has been really eye opening for us. I appreciate you coming on the show and sharing. Rose Haft: Absolutely. Poornima Vijayashanker: Yeah. Rose and I want to know, do you have any questions related to augmented reality and virtual reality? Let us know what they are in the comments below. That's it for today's episode of *Build*.
