New Interview The AR Show Podcast just published a podcast interview with me: Karl Guttag (KGOnTech) on the Attack of the Clones and Magic Leap’s Wasted Opportunity (Part 1). The interview is going to be broken into 3 parts (ok, I ramble a bit) as I understand it and Part One alone is 1 hour…

GameStop, “Hold My Beer,” says Augmented Reality Companies
Introduction and Disclaimers I want to be clear that I am not a stock analyst or expert, and nothing in this article is meant to constitute stock advice.

KGOnTech Video Presentations On Augmented Reality
In December and January, I was asked to present (virtually) at AR/VR MeetUps in New York and The Bay Area. Both of these presentations were recorded.

Hololens 2 Display Evaluation (Part 6: Microsoft’s FUD on Photographs)
Introduction (Marketing FUD) Microsoft recently put up an FAQ page with the topic heading. Why am I unable to take an accurate photograph of my HoloLens 2 display?. The purpose of this FAQ seems to be to discourage and discredit talking picture taking of the Hololens 2 (HL2) through the optics rather than to provide useful…
