In this episode of 'Reality:One', the host and his guest Etti discuss the potential of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming traditional reading experiences in libraries. Avraham envisions a future where readers can visually interact with books, have personalised book recommendations by virtual librarians, and immerse in life-like visualisations for a more relatable learning experience. They also throw around ideas like the '3D bookmark' and discuss the concept of libraries becoming a 'town square', transforming the act of reading into a shared, social experience. 

Reminder: Our podcast guests serve as 'audience advocates', mirroring listener curiosity and perspective to make AR discussions more relatable and enlightening.
