Title: Preparing for Radical Change – PokeMon becomes real
Description: LOSCON introed real VR in the early ’90’s, and, a decade later, the Makers and then the roboticists. PokeMon is just the first major sample of what’s to come. How will we aging technonerds keep up? How many of us really know how to use the current SmartPhones, much less the enhanced AR in the works? Like Steve Barnes’ Life Coaching, will we need special educational services to make it possible just to conduct our daily lives?
Participants: Steve Barnes, Steve Frankel, Martin Young
