Episode notes
AR Glasses as a Back Channel
- Bosworth uses AR glasses as an in-meeting back channel, receiving contextual information during live meetings.
- This avoids interrupting conversations to look up references on phones, enhancing the meeting flow.
Context-Aware Notifications
- Constant phone and smartwatch notifications interrupt real-world interactions.
- AR glasses, being contextually aware, could filter notifications, enhancing presence and connection.
Beyond Notifications
- Bosworth envisions AR glasses as more than notification services, aiming for contextual awareness.
- This awareness allows glasses to prioritize important notifications even during in-person conversations.
