The InReality Podcast

This week we’re looking back at the 2017 Google I/O keynote, which featured news on Alphabet’s plans for Android, AI, Google Home and, of course, Augmented and Virtual Reality. Let’s take a look back … at the future.

This week, the topic is Paypal, which has filed a patent that proposes a world where people can interact — monetarily — with anything they can see. The patent, flavorfully titled “Using Augmented Reality to Determine Information” describes a system that allows for digital transactions — using paypal, naturally — with objects in the physical world. Let’s go shopping!

Welcome back to the In Reality podcast, covering all things Augmented & Virtual Reality. In Reality features industry news, commentary, and perspective from AR/VR veterans and experts.

In Reality is co-hosted by Marxent’s Joe Johnson and Joe Bardi. Johnson is the Creative Director at Marxent, and has been in the AR/VR industry for four and a half years following a stint on Microsoft’s Office UX team. Bardi is Marxent’s Senior Content Strategist, and has been in the industry for a year, after having spent more than a decade in print and TV media.

For this week’s show, we’re taking a deep dive into Amazon’s plans to sell furniture using Augmented Reality, and how this is but one front in what is shaping up as a war between Amazon and Wal-Mart for the future of retail.

For this week’s show, the Joes are joined by special guest is Vince Kilian, Marxent’s Lead Technical Artist, who joined from a lofty crag, hidden from the world by constant, unending storms and shrouded in a cacophony of wailing electric guitars. Vince has forgotten more about product development than you will ever know.

On this week’s show, we’re talking Amazon’s plan to preview furniture using Augmented and Virtual Reality (where’d they ever get that idea?!!?) and what shake-ups at Oculus mean for the future of techies who ascend to big-time management positions.

In this week's episode, the Joe's talk about Audio AR (sort of, mostly?) and some unique, interesting, and totally not-fake AR applications coming up. Enjoy!
