The world today is surrounded by Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality examples. Many are trying to bring the good out of this technology, starting from gaming, entertainment, AR and VR have come a long way to healthcare and education . Every now and then I hear a diversion that builds the hope these technologies can address issues leading to better tomorrow.
Since June , I have been attending a few conferences especially in AR and VR. The story revolves around the software and eye wear (hardware). This shows the effort of bringing thoughts closer to reality has come a long way.
I am always looking for new ideas and concepts that are getting explored in this market. Most of the efforts are often in what we see and feel and it covers the majority of the population, but recently one company grabbed my attention. This company is very new and is working towards building better mapping of brain especially for gifted individuals ( focusing more on Autism). For the past few months I have been spreading the thought of healthcare looking into special needs through AR and VR, the talks and thoughts have been well received but I did not come across any start-up that was looking into it , until last week..
While the technology is a great friend to mankind, we often overlook the "defined need" sector. Unlike us,these gifted individuals don't get many opportunities to explore and adapt with the advanced technology and the desire to do something for them has always been on my mind.
After helping financially challenged kids get better education and better life , I have been looking for opportunities where service with technology can build towards a better life. AR has the potential to go deeper into healthcare and redefine the structure is now becoming a truth. IF AR can go deep into Autism today, it wont be long before it explores Cancer and more....
The success of Virtual and Augmented Reality is still not known, but the efforts show the journey will open a whole new direction for human race
"While technology leads innovation, human needs direction"
