SuperSight
David Rose, an MIT instructor, author, and serial entrepreneur, presents a fresh take on SuperSight, the next platform of spatial computing. His most recent book, Enchanted Objects, is a must-read for anybody interested in building the Internet of Things. David developed the original patent on photo-sharing, started an AI startup focusing on computer vision, and served as Warby Parker's VP of Vision Technology.
Today, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Snap, Samsung, and a slew of startups are racing to revolutionize how we perceive. Cloud computing and 5G networks, AI computer vision algorithms, smart eyewear and VR headsets, and mixed reality games like Pokémon GO are already in existence. But what follows is a fundamental transformation in how we perceive the world and connect with one another.
What we see and how we view it will no longer be limited by biology during the next decade. Instead, our everyday vision will be enhanced with digital data to provide what spatial computing pioneer David Rose refers to as "SuperSight." And when our worldview evolves into layered information supplied through glasses, contact lenses, or projected light, it will radically alter learning, shopping, work, pleasure, and much more.
In SuperSight, David presents an insider's view of how our lives are likely to change, while also dissecting the disadvantages of this new world—what he refers to as the hazards of SuperSight, which range from equality and access difficulties to bubble filter issues—and giving reasonable, effective solutions.
The breadth of augmented vision is limitless, from AI mirrors that advise us on our outfits to museums that allow us to converse with deceased explorers and artists to the ways we picture sustainable communities. SuperSight is a comprehensive speculative peek of the future and its ramifications that is both alarming and exciting.
