The metaverse is coming, but why should I care?
Mark Zuckerberg changed his company’s name to “Meta” to reflect their new focus on future endeavours: bringing people together in virtual 3D space. Connecting through AR or VR devices into a shared and persistent digital world is often referred to as entering the metaverse. Not only by Meta. So, where does the idea come from, what will be possible and […]

Hi everybody. Yoni Binstock published his 2nd edition of “What is Augmented Reality – Everything You Wanted to Know Featuring Exclusive Interviews With the Leaders of the AR Industry” in May 2020. As the title states, he interviews AR professionals on their personal views on AR and their vision for the future. I’ve joined the circle and am featured in […]

2020 – the year of virtual meetups It seems like 2020 becomes the year of virtual reality for obvious reasons world-wide. It`s pretty hard to try out the latest AR glasses in a telepresence call. Simulating AR glasses in VR feels also pretty silly and not so quite close to reality. Damn, so there you have it. With Magic Leap […]

Hi everybody, 2019 is coming to an end (well, kind of) and I will finish my craziest year so far. We’ve been very busy developing AR/VR solutions in our company, but in parallel I started to raise my new born son with my wife. The biggest change you can have in your life! Also the greatest (and toughest) experience. That’s […]

What’s up next? Busy days. Actually, I just wanted to publish an article titled “Facebook refuses to show their AR glasses”. As they did during Oculus Connect 6 just last week. But then again… what to talk about if they don’t actually show anything? Well to be fair, they showed a little bit. They talked about ongoing research, presented their […]

Hi everyone! Time to plan the rest of the year and check options what to attend. Typically I’m focusing on European (German) market and US conferences (sorry). What conference to attend? What makes sense if you are working in AR? What red letter days do we need to remember? When to expect new cool demos? Where can you try the […]

Hi everyone, only three days left for the kickstarter campaign of the RobotGenius guys. They created the 2012 AR dystopian classic “SIGHT” and I thought it’s about time to chat with Daniel and Eran on the home stretch of the funding. Maybe you feel like checking it out and support their cause! Please find the below uncut talk and enjoy […]

Dear everybody, best summer greetings from augmented.org. I`m back, baby! Due to some (positive) personal changes and a huge load of work, augmented.org didn`t get big postings, lately. But now it`s time to rejoin the fun and keep the updates rolling in. I`ve been following all news and tweets, saw the latest crazy AR smartphone filters, heard the rumors on […]

On Sunday, during AWE in Barcelona, Microsoft presented in an one hour show multiple news on their commitment to the mixed reality space. Including demo showcases with partners, Azure cloud services, new software, ah, yeah, … and the HoloLens 2! Time to compare my wishlist from last week with it and to give my virtual two cents on the news. […]
