I read Daemon in middle school and became so obsessed with augmented reality that I essentially devoted the next seven years of my life to working towards making it happen: attending conferences, conducting research, and starting an AR hardware company.
So no, you're not the only one :)
Also, unrelated to my previous obsession with AR, I have prosopagnosia, so having glasses that could tell me who I'm looking at would make a major improvement to my life.
- LambdaComplex 9y ago>devoted the next seven years of my life Was that a while ago? Or is that still what you're doing?
- josephpmay 9y agoI'm a senior in college now. This was something I worked on from the beginning of high school until this May.
- fzzzy 9y agoWhat happened in May?
- bayonetz 9y agoRight? Don't leave us hanging!
- dbish 9y agoI was curious as well. Looks like he worked on Mira, an AR company that is working on shipping hardware that works with your phone. Reading the about section (https://www.mirareality.com/about https://www.mirareality.com/about), it's kind of funny, lists only three founders, who are not him, in the copy, but the photo at the top of the page has 4 founders. Looked like it could be an interesting product, though I'm sure the right AR glasses that customers will purchase need to be far less bulky.
- josephpmay 9y agoThe fourth person in the picture is Evan, our CTO. He wasn't a founder.
- dbish 9y agoCool. Thanks for the clarification. I assumed it was you since you weren't in the copy ("founded by Ben Taft, Matt Stern, and Montana Reed"). Any reason you left the AR world when it seems to be heating up now?
- josephpmay 9y agoI left the company to pursue other interests
