Smartphones, laptops, desktop PCs, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, smart glasses, XR headsets, video game controllers, smart speakers, and even cars and household robotic appliances—computing is everywhere. Not everyone uses all of… Continue reading The Growing Complexity of Everyday Devices

Ken Perlin In a few years, when everyone gets used to wearing those future extended reality glasses in public spaces, text will be everywhere. Sometimes it will appear very large and looming against the sky. At other times it will show up on a convenient wall.Then there is the text that will be hovering between… Continue reading Future glasses and future text
