Spectacles 5 was just announced by @snap. In the latest episode of #theARshow podcast, I share my perspective of the device after getting a hands-on preview. The wonderful @sophiaedm provides the context. This is a win for Snap and the AR industry. thearshow.com/podcast/170-sn…

“Incorporating AI with our glasses will be a game-changer, offering experiences that simply aren't possible with a phone. And our glasses are lightweight & stylish enough that you will actually wear them.” – Paul Travers, CEO @Vuzix, on #theARshow podcast. thearshow.com/podcast/168-pa…

“The future of connectivity lies in freeing people from constantly staring at their phones. Our Ultralite platform provide seamless access to information while keeping you engaged in the real world.” – Paul Travers, CEO @Vuzix, on #theARshow podcast. thearshow.com/podcast/168-pa…

Excited to share our new Nature paper! In this work, we propose a new display design that pairs inverse-designed metasurface waveguides with AI-driven holographic displays to enable full-color 3D augmented reality from a compact eyeglasses-like form factor. 1/8

“I wanted to build a world where I could look at anything and ask, how does that work? How do I fix that? And the answer was immediately available in 3D right there in front of me.” – Zac Duff (@greenlig), co-founder & CEO @JigSpace, on #theARshow podcast. thearshow.com/podcast/165-za…

“For #AR in the enterprise, it's easy to get to pilot production. We’ve done it over and over again. The value is proven. But it’s hard to get to scale deployment.” – @m_the_hoff, founder & CEO at IQXR, on #theARshow podcast. thearshow.com/podcast/163-mi…

“We believe smart glasses like ours will be the shuttle upon which AI finds its way into the various contexts of our lives.” – @btavangar, co-founder & CEO @brilliantlabsAR, on #theARshow podcast. Listen: thearshow.com/podcast/161-bo…

“We have made our hardware platform radically open with the belief that when software partners can integrate very deeply, then we are both better off.” – @btavangar, co-founder & CEO @brilliantlabsAR, on #theARshow podcast. Listen: thearshow.com/podcast/161-bo…

“Confidence is a muscle. You’re not born with or without confidence. It’s something you work out and build over time. And it can deteriorate when you’re not using it.” – @kirinsinha, Founder & CEO @illumix, on #theARshow podcast. Hear more: thearshow.com/podcast/160-ki…

“AR needs to solve existing problems for customers before it can open up the door to many new problems.” – @rossfinman, Founder & CEO at Augmodo, on #theARshow podcast. Listen: thearshow.com/podcast/158b-r…

“In #AR, 100M units isn't the challenge; it's building a device that sells 1M. What is the niche application/device that embraces existing user behavior that can get us there? Think iPod→iPhone.” – @rossfinman, Founder & CEO at Augmodo, on #theARshow. thearshow.com/podcast/158a-r…

“It’s not failure if we use it as a stepping stone to success. It’s a wake up call.” - @_ToddBeane on the #USWNT at the #WorldCup Don’t miss 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗬 with @GlennCrooks today at 3p Eastern on @SiriusXMFC 157 & the SiriusXM App!

“There's a need for a much more mobile & wearable interface if we want to enable the upcoming #AR revolution. Neural interface is the right solution for this, and that's what we're building.” – Yacine Achiakh, co-founder & CEO @Wiseario, on #theARshow. buff.ly/44sr2oy

“The future of spatial computing is distributed. Truly wearable glasses will offload to a smartphone/watch, earphones, etc. The headset packed with sensors & compute isn’t a mainstream device.” – Yacine Achiakh, co-founder & CEO @Wiseario, on #theARshow. buff.ly/44sr2oy

“Neural interfaces are the future. We don’t need to wait 50 years to make this a reality. We can leverage devices we already use—earphones—to create magical experiences.” – Yacine Achiakh, co-founder & CEO @Wiseario, on #theARshow podcast. buff.ly/44sr2oy

“Why do people tolerate 2D when the world is 3D? As we saw with the transition from B&W to color displays, 2D displays will be replaced by 3D. The tech is here—just a matter of cost and content now.” – David Fattal, Founder & CTO @LeiaInc, on #theARshow. buff.ly/3re8YzP

“If you're providing value to people's lives—a 10x experience—people will overlook so much because it's helping them do this faster, better, or more simply.” – @sophiaedm, augmenting the future @snap & guest on #theARshow. buff.ly/3r0fKJA

“Success is when we can interact with technology in the same way we interact with the real world—that’s when the tech can disappear and we just have utility.” – @sophiaedm, augmenting the future @snap & guest on #theARshow podcast. buff.ly/3r0fKJA

“Don’t assume just because you’ve added #AR, your product will succeed. Start with a customer & problem, then build a solution for the use case using the technology that works best.” – @sophiaedm, augmenting the future @snap & guest on #theARshow podcast. buff.ly/3XqHpiU
