Envisioning a seamless digital future
From hyper-realistic experiences to thought-controlled devices
Companies are becoming ever more aware of the advantages that the implementation of AR technology brings to them. From improving communication and know-how transfer to making training and real-time support more effective, a New York Times’ article highlights real use cases of several enterprises working with Microsoft HoloLens smart glasses. Speaking of which, let yourself be inspired by the HoloLens‘s video of a young Japanese developer talking about how holograms turn imagination into reality and what she envisions for the future of reality merged with digital.
The possibility to seamlessly connect AR to the real world is also the aim of researchers at Facebook Reality Labs, who are working on a long-term project to develop non-invasive AR wearable device and interfaces that can be controlled through brain signals in real-time, without using implemented electrodes.
Lastly, the annual conference on computer graphics, Siggraph, offered an insight into the current state of AR/VR technologies development, showcasing hyper-realistic experiences, Nvidia’s easy-to-wear smart glasses, and Magic Leap’s human-looking AR assistant, among many oddities as the prosthetic tail designed for improving people’s balance.

Hands-free communication without saying a word
The research team at Facebook Reality Labs aims at creating a completely non-invasive input solution for AR smart-glasses that will allow people to type directly from their brain, by simply thinking at what one wants to say. Existing solutions use implemented electrodes in the brain, whereas Facebook’s project focuses on tracking oxigen levels to detect brain activity. Read on Tech@facebook
