Michael and Michael start off this episode with a ready to weAR t-shirt from Curiscope, that displays the wearer’s heart rate in addition to a representation of heart & other organs in the torso.  This leads to a conversation on what more could be done in a hospital setting, to allow for a visualization for the medical professionals seeing & absorbing data about their patients in a new way.  Continuing the fashion theme, the team turns to the reward structure that Tommy Hilfiger is building into the Xplore line, with embedded IoT chipset & companion app to reward influencers for wearing the brand, not just buying the clothes.  

After a segue to how a Pi-Hole can be used to block advertisements and improve network performance, Michael and Michael talk about the Segway Drift W1 roller shoe platform, an innovative way to get around.

Extending the discussion on this episode on augmented reality, Michael R’s find on the new Ghostbusters World mobile game play from the San Diego Comic-Con got both of the co-hosts excited about the potential of the game once it is released more broadly.  Get your PKE meter ready to answer the call — hopefully later this year!

The augmen.tv capabilities to connect augmented reality to television broadcasts are amazing — and spell the way that the future of television will be experienced.

We hope that you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we had fun in producing it!
