How do we revolutionise education with augmented reality?

In this episode, I sit down with Shif Bacha, an educator curious about how AR can transform classrooms. We dive into anatomical holograms, virtual dissections, physics-enhanced gym classes, and even pen-pal windows into classrooms across the world.

If you’ve ever wondered what learning would look like if it broke free from textbooks, this is the episode for you.

TL;DR:

• AR makes learning tactile, interactive, and immersive.
• Dissect a virtual frog, hold a beating heart, or zoom into DNA molecules.
• Gym class meets physics—see forces and trajectories in real-time.
• A classroom window into another country—pen pals in AR.
• What happens when learning extends beyond the classroom into everyday life?

In this Brainstream, Avraham dives into Apple’s latest iOS 18 update and critically analyses how Apple’s AI vision missed the mark. We explore how AI could have transformed the iPhone experience, what Apple got right, and where they fell short. If you’re interested in the future of AI, AR, and personal assistants in technology, this video breaks down the key points you need to know.

Question: Do you think Apple is truly harnessing the power of AI, or are they missing out on the bigger picture?

TLDR;

Hardware vs. Software: Apple’s missed the mark by not integrating powerful software with their hardware innovations.

iOS 18’s AI Limitations: Lacks impactful features despite promising potential.

The Power of Automation: AI could drastically streamline work, but Apple hasn’t leveraged this fully.

Empowering Individuals: AI could enable individuals to perform tasks once requiring teams.

Missed Opportunities: iOS 18 didn’t capture the true power of generative AI in its release.
