Some interesting news about the Apples’ alleged Augmented Reality technology has trickled out in the past few weeks. It appears as though Apple is developing its own line of unique augmented reality headsets / glasses to pair with their #ARkit.

Augmented (animated) pass through camera apps such as Pokemon go or Snapchat filters, operate similarly to a 360 video, with motion being performed by waving your device in your hand and the device acting as a filter to the world.

What’s exciting, is that, similarly to how a 360 video works in a VR headsets, such as GearVR or Google Cardboard, You can be immersed in the content. Augmented Reality apps placed in a headset can allow you full hands-free Augmented Reality experience combining the real and digital workd into one.

The addition of a hands free system for ARkit interactions is revolutionary.

Early models by competitors are already hitting the marketplace, like the #MIRA Prism. They operate using reflection on to project a hologram style overlay between you and the environment.

Some AR apps are available for placing within Cardboard VR headsets using the passthrough camera to provide AR experiences hands free already.

How might a new device dominate the AR VR AI industry in 5–7 years?

Some technologies are currently advancing more rapidly than you realize. AR VR MR wearables, Casting, & AI , their seamless integration will be revolutionary quite soon. By 2023, the single most important mobile device that you will have, will perform several vital functions and may look similar to this.

With the latest development of flexible screens and circuitry your device becomes a handheld computer tablet when needed by either flipping, folding or stretching it to a full size. It will be fairly tough and rugged, yet light and cheap to replace.

When connected to (or close to) another device, they seamlessly merge and expand the viewing area, allowing for a few people together to assemble a communal TV. Audio/video casting to nearby devices and and screen sharing will also operate fluidly.

For convenience it will wrap around your wrist and operate similar to a smartwatch. It will become your contact entry point and cue device using audio, visual and haptic vibrations. It will monitor your biometrics, like your sleep cycles, pulse, temperature and many more.

The device can be inverted and wrapped around your head to provide either Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality experiences, adding to, or replacing, your perceived environment. Allowing you access to a global experience database. (similar to how the net provides knowledge) and allows you to surf (navigate) through static and video webpages in 360 VR.

All businesses should get on board right away.

It will most likely contains a personal assistant, with the most recent development of Artificial Intelligence which help you be more efficient with your life. It will also control (and monitor for risk assessment) what (biometric) information you share and to whom. It will manage your “If this then that requests” and become your own life coach.

For example, your Microsoft assistant, Cortana will have an avatar body you can see in the Microsoft AR/VR headset. And with IFTTT requests, now she can do almost anything.

It will have some type of planar mapping or room scanning like Tango, have cameras on either side for stabilized 360video capture,be WIFI and bluetooth enabled, and be able to broadcast to audio and video to any devices as needed. (360 cameras, headphones, nearby Televisions or other devices) It will also be able to share its view with other smart devices, offering an inter-connectivity tool of unprecedented value, oh and it interacts with your smart devices in the Internet of things. Keeping track of their relative position to you, the ground and to each other and able to identify (and link you to) the world around you.

The most amazing thing about this device is that you Already own the prototype. Its probably in your pocket right now. (you may even be reading this on it)

Your current Device most likely has the ability to do everything mentioned above.

If you watch a 360 video on YouTube and click the mask symbol (bottom right), you can enter your device into a cardboard VR device and experience a form of Virtual Reality entertainment called 360VR. (someday, it will work with all videos, (it will create a theater room for you, so get on this #YouTube)

You can open “full” CGI VR apps and experience “true” VR using navigation by controller or by head direction) (soon it will navigate by tracking your eyes and your gaze. ahem #Samsung)

You can install Apps for augmented reality like Scopic, ( Snapchat or Msqrd. they still need to release an AR mode ( Landscape Splitscreen to view in Cardboard or MIRA ype viewers) and experience the beginning of the Augmented reality — & Metaverse. (soon QR codes will provide the trigger for the augments )

If you have BlueTooth, Wifi, Siri or Chrome cast, you can already send video to nearby TVs , Headsets and do tons of stuff by voice command interface.

oh, and if you want you, your mobile device can even be attached to your wrist.

So tell everyone, and lets get this product delivered A.S.A.P. It has the potential to improve quality of life, ease of access to information and experience. In the long run, it might help us save the planet by disrupting/realigning our travel and resource consumption systems.

(I’d like to be on the team that develops the UI UX) for the ALL-in1

Update: Others are now making some headway in quite a few of these areas, take a look.
