This, or something close to it, seems inevitable and probably just 5-10 years away.Įach of the 30 chapters is written the by who’s who of the industry, and it speaks volumes about the awesomeness of this book that the author Charlie Fink, an ex entertainment executive who covers XR industry for Forbes and literally knows everyone, was able to assemble such a cast of key people behind Hololens, Magic Leap, Varjo, Unity, etc. Read reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. Yet a world away, at the 80th Venice Film Festival, a more hopeful, optimistic view of AI’s cinematic potential is being endorsed by some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks. Charlie Fink writes the weekly Forbes column 'This Week in XR' and co-hosts its companion podcast. ( Disclosure: Fink is also a Forbes Contributor). The premise is that as AI, 5G and XR technologies converge in the next 5-10 years, we will wear light glasses (which are just sensors transmitting data to the cloud and getting visuals back) which will surface contextual information to us exactly where we want it in our lives. Taught by Charlie Fink, it was intended to introduce students to the XR industry, including conversations with entrepreneurs, pioneers, and artists. I follow Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality industry (collectively known as XR) daily, yet I loved this inspiring and detail-oriented book about the present and future of XR where “the world will be painted with data'.
