Augmented reality expert explains how AR will help humanity
Gaia Dempsey, managing director of DAQRI, which makes an AR-enabled smart hard hat, offers up a strong case for why augmented reality is more than just hype. In a new video for the upcoming Future of Storytelling Summit (which also produced the stunning video of animation legend Glen Keane drawing in VR), Dempsey explains how AR could fundamentally change the way we learn and experience the world. For example, it's one thing to be told how the mechanics of a clock works in text or video, it's an entirely different experience to be able to manipulate a moving set of clock gears in three dimensions.
"If you want to control the entire view, VR is best. AR on the other hand puts digital information into the real environment so you can see it in context of the world around you."
