About Today's Show

This exciting episode takes a deep dive into the future, and how Seneca College is setting students up for careers in leading edge industries featuring computer technology.  We recorded this episode on location at Seneca's Centre for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CITE). 

CITE opened in January 2019, and is leading edge in terms of a building specifically constructed to foster innovative technology based solutions for the problems of both today, and tomorrow.  

In this episode, my guest, Professor Peter Moscone, Professor in the School of Electronics & Mechanical Engineering Technology, guides me through my first experience using an Augmented Reality headset.  It's pretty cool!  

Other things we talk about on this episode:

1.  The function and potentially game-changing applications of augmented reality as a force in industry of all kinds.

2. The Mechatronics Simulation and Demonstration Centre; a really cool place where leading edge technology is developed and showcased.

3. The reality of teaching in a modern, technology-filled world.

4. Georgi La Forge
