it is not like that technology doesn t exist. there are a smart swimming goggles that give you real time data under water. i guess the tech is not quite compact enough to fit inside normal glass quite yet. but maybe one day they will be good enough to interact with the metaverse, and speaking of interacting, one man has been trying a whole new way of controlling things with his mind. so here i am with a strange band strapped to my head looking very proud of myself for switching on a toy lightsaber. but, so what? well, whilst it looks like a poor man s comic con, i am actually here to experience the future of tech. it is all part of a new industry that wants technology to interface with our brains. what could go wrong? but whilst i m playing with star wars toys, elon musk is planning to create humans by surgically implanting chips in their brains. they ve already released footage of a monkey playing a video game with its mind
that was chris talking to boz at facebook. how weird. i really was expecting those glasses to be augmented reality glasses, weren t you? yes, it s not like the technology doesn t exist. there s even those smart swimming goggles where you get your data in real time underwater. i know, right? so maybe the tech just isn t quite compact enough for real glasses just yet. i tell you what, though, in the full length version of this week s programme you can see something that s even more sci fi than the metaverse and augmented reality. go and watch it on iplayer right now. that s it from the short version. throughout the week, you can keep up with us on social media, find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and we ll see you soon. bye bye.
for us, going even back a year we were talking about previous projects that we have had, and we do have ar glasses in the pipeline. we really want to have a conversation, a dialogue with consumers around the world on, yeah, what are the standards and expectations they have for the types of computers that we are going to wear in the future? and this is really our first foray into putting something on someone s face, and we re really excited about it and seeing how people react to it. i think it is a great product and i have been using it myself but it is the first in a series of products that give people more functionality and more capability through a pair of glasses. that was chris talking about facebook. i really wasn t expecting those glasses to be augmented reality glasses. it is not like that technology doesn t exist. there are smart swimming goggles that give you real time
