Emerging Tech

TECHLIFE’S PRACTICAL MONTHLY ROUNDUP OF EMERGING TECH EXPERIENCES, INCLUDING ALL THE LATEST VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY APPS, ALONGSIDE AI-DRIVEN BOTS AND OTHER USEFUL TOOLS.

WHILE ITS MARCH may have slowed over the past couple of years, VR is again pushing the boundaries this month with immersive low gravity moon landing experiences, live comedy gigs and a new Jedi object control system that we can’t wait to be integrated into a game. Magic Leap shows us the magic of nurturing your own alien bonsai with it’s latest AR title form Insomniac Games. AI’s angling to fix the world’s food wastage problem, giving paralyzed people jobs using robot waiters and immortalising others by creating chatbot clones that’ll respond to people after you’re gone. The UK police force are even trialing a Minority-Reportlike crime prediction tool powered by AI.
