This week’s episode focuses on how augmented reality can change how fashion is immediately distributed across the world in real time, broadcasting images from the runway to wherever the user wishes to view the show.  Also, an intriguing use case for uniform and retail clothing sales using AR to allow people to virtually try on their clothing in an industry 4.0 mass customization way, saving money, and further integrating supply chains.

The co-hosts have another interesting privacy and security discussion, this time dealing with the CourtTech idea of using mobile apps, AI and geolocation to facilitate faster resolution of custody issues, and ensure adherence to court-mandated decisions.  

The team wraps up with a couple of examples of tech companies shutting down, per the reports on the robot Jibo and electric automotive company Faraday Future.
