SuperSight: spatial computing and the evolution of eyes
Soon most of us will choose to augment our vision with new layers of projected information delivered via glasses or projected light. Our daily experience will become truly weird as game studios and brands promote apps to hack the visual world. This new blended vision, what I call SuperSight will forever change how we shop, learn, play, interact socially, and more. This lively talk will preview the SuperSight revolution and consider its many implications. Come and experience a speculative romp into the evolution of how we see.
Bio for David Rose
David Rose, an MIT researcher, author, and serial entrepreneur, offers a unique perspective on the next platform of spatial computing, what he calls SuperSight. David wrote the book on the Internet of Things, owns the seminal patent on photo-sharing, built an AI company focused on computer vision, and was VP of Vision Technology at Warby Parker. David is known for translating complex technologies into delightfully intuitive new products and consulting to businesses on how to thrive in digital disruption.

About the Center for Robotics and Biosystems
The Center for Robotics and Biosystems is working toward a future where humans and robots collaborate seamlessly to achieve what is currently impossible; where sensors, actuators, and controllers are inspired by biological principles; and where robotics and computational modeling lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of human and animal neuromechanics. Because our future will benefit from the synergistic co-evolution of humans and robots, the center’s research focuses on the science and engineering of embodied intelligence.
