In two worlds at once: Social AR and VR
summary
Claims that audio AR is the most human next-step and that mobile phones stay for years while wearable audio scales now; demos show a working Here One ear computer that applies acoustic filters, streams audio and runs real-time language translation, a hardware stack with four ICs for compute, and hand-and-finger capture from Leap Motion for immersive input. Forecasts a $40B earbuds market by 2020 and argues VR needs true presence from better input. Privacy approach: devices don’t record raw streams and limit sensor capture.
