Warby Parker’s new app uses AR and face scans to try on virtual glasses. Warby Parker has a new update out for its iPhone app that uses Apple’s Face ID and AR tech to let customers virtually try on glasses in the app before they buy them.
There are plenty of apps and websites that let you overlay a pair of glasses on your face, but Warby Parker is taking things a step further by actually rendering the glasses in a live, 3D preview on your face with augmented reality. It’s the natural extension of Warby Parker’s original Face ID-based update for the iPhone X back in 2017, which used Apple’s 3D face maps to recommend a pair of glasses to buy.
Virtual creators aren’t AI — but AI is coming for them. Brain-computer interface enables people with paralysis to control tablet devices. Robots are becoming classroom tutors. But will they make the grade? Pondering a tablet screen displaying a town scene, a pre-K student tilts her head to the side and taps her lip thoughtfully.

The personal computer had the mouse, touchscreens made smartphones mainstream consumer devices, and AR headsets like the HoloLens and the Magic Leap One have leveraged gesture recognition. Now, one new startup is looking to revolutionize the whole spectrum of human-computer interfaces (HMI) with not one but five natural input methods working in concert. On Tuesday, Asteroid launched a crowdfunding campaign for its 3D Human-Machine Interface Starter Kit, which supplies developers with the software and hardware for creating apps controlled by eyes, hand gestures, and even thoughts and emotions.

Virtual reality (VR) hardware and headsets are finally comfortable and stylish enough for mainstream consumption, and the sound quality is crisp and clear. Robots and virtual reality are the future of sex. Sex as we know it is about to change.
We are already living through a new sexual revolution, thanks to technologies that have transformed the way we relate to each other in our intimate relationships. But we believe a second wave of sexual technologies is now starting to appear, and these are transforming how some people view their very sexual identity. People we refer to as “digisexuals” are turning to advanced technologies, such as robots, virtual reality (VR) environments and feedback devices known as teledildonics, to take the place of human partners. Join Independent Minds. Microsoft and Made by Dyslexia Team up to Support Dyslexic Students - TechAcute. Making education more attainable to the millions with learning impediments is a noble goal.

Biohacking in Sweden: Why thousands are inserting microchips into themselves. Thousands of people in Sweden have inserted microchips, which can function as contactless credit cards, key cards, and even rail cards, into their bodies.
Once the chip is underneath your skin, there is no longer any need to worry about misplacing a card or carrying a heavy wallet. But for many people, the idea of carrying a microchip in their body feels more dystopian than practical. Some have suggested that Sweden’s strong welfare state may be the cause of this recent trend. Gartner Identifies Five Emerging Technology Trends That Will Blur the Lines Between Human and Machine. Five Emerging Technology Trends Democratized AI AI technologies will be virtually everywhere over the next 10 years.
While these technologies enable early adopters to adapt to new situations and solve problems that have not been encountered previously, these technologies will become available to the masses — democratized. Movements and trends like cloud computing, the “maker” community and open source will eventually propel AI into everyone’s hands. This trend is enabled by the following technologies: AI Platform as a Service (PaaS), Artificial General Intelligence, Autonomous Driving (Levels 4 and 5), Autonomous Mobile Robots, Conversational AI Platform, Deep Neural Nets, Flying Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Robots, and Virtual Assistants.
