The Next Computer? Your Glasses
Picture this:
You’re wearing a normal-looking pair of glasses, but they give you the ability to quickly summarize a book, translate between languages or remember where you left your keys.
In a live demo of unreleased technology, computer scientist Shahram Izadi unveils Google’s new Android XR platform, which aims to give users the power of AI via smart glasses and headsets.
He’s joined onstage by two colleagues, giving a glimpse of the future of “extended reality” (XR) devices — smart, seamless and right before your eyes.
Why You Should Listen
Shahram Izadi blends the digital and physical worlds using augmented reality, AI and computer vision.
As the leader of AR and XR at Google, he is spearheading the development of Android XR, a new operating system for extended reality devices that aims to revolutionize how we use intelligent virtual assistants in our everyday lives.
He previously worked at Microsoft on products like Surface Table, Kinect and HoloLens, and he cofounded Perceptive IO, a startup focused on AI and computer vision for mixed reality that was acquired by Google.
