Augmented Reality with Fexingo: AR, Glasses, and the Spatial Computing Future

Lucas and Luna examine augmented reality not as a futuristic fantasy but as an evolving tool with real economic and industrial implications. This show cuts through the hype to assess the current state of AR hardware—smart glasses, headsets, and spatial computing platforms—and their adoption across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and retail. Lucas brings the numbers: unit shipments, component costs, patent filings, and investment flows from companies like Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Snap. Luna challenges with practical questions: Will AR replace screens? What are the ergonomic and social barriers? How do enterprise deployments differ from consumer fantasies? Together they trace the supply chain from microLED displays to waveguide optics, and surface the business models that might finally make AR viable—subscription software, industrial training, or navigation overlays. Each episode tackles a specific case: a warehouse using HoloLens for inventory, a surgeon testing Magic Leap for pre-op visualization, a retailer piloting AR try-ons. The listener leaves with a calibrated view of where the spatial computing market actually stands and what it would take for glasses to become as ubiquitous as smartphones. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #SpatialComputing #SmartGlasses #AppleVisionPro #MetaQuest #MicrosoftHoloLens #MicroLED #WaveguideOptics #EnterpriseAR #IndustrialTraining #RetailTech #HealthcareTech #SupplyChain #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology #Business Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How AR Glasses Are Reshaping Olive Oil Tasting

    How AR Glasses Are Reshaping Olive Oil Tasting
    Jul 6 2026
    Episode 94 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo takes you inside a surprising application: extra virgin olive oil tasting. Lucas and Luna explore how AR glasses are being used at the University of California, Davis Olive Center to train sensory panels. Scientists overlay real-time chemical composition data as tasters sample oils, boosting panel accuracy by 18 percent in a 2025 study. They discuss how the same technology could transform wine, coffee, and craft beer evaluation — and what it means for certification standards. Plus, a look at the cost: $3,500 per headset and the push for lighter designs. No hype, just the hard numbers behind a niche but telling use case. #OliveOil #ARGlasses #SensoryScience #UCDavis #FoodTech #ExtraVirginOliveOil #AugmentedReality #SpatialComputing #Tasting #Agriculture #Certification #QualityControl #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Innovation #Training Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Urban Beekeeping

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Urban Beekeeping
    Jul 5 2026
    Episode 93 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo explores how urban beekeepers are adopting AR glasses to monitor hive health and combat colony collapse. In New York City, a pilot program with 30 rooftop apiaries uses smart glasses to overlay temperature, humidity, and mite-count data directly onto the beekeeper's field of view. Lucas and Luna discuss the specific hardware — Vuzix M4000 — and the software platform HiveMind, which uses computer vision to count Varroa destructor mites in real time. Early results show a 40 percent reduction in colony losses compared to traditional inspection methods. The conversation also touches on cost barriers, battery life limitations, and whether this technology could scale to commercial agriculture. No ads, listener supported. This is a focused, practical look at one niche where spatial computing is solving a real-world problem. #ARGlasses #UrbanBeekeeping #BeekeepingTech #SpatialComputing #VuzixM4000 #HiveMind #VarroaDestructor #ColonyCollapse #PrecisionAgriculture #ComputerVision #IoT #SmartAgriculture #SustainableCities #TechForGood #NYCBees #FexingoBusiness #TechnologyPodcast #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Reshaping Prosthetic Limb Fitting

    How AR Glasses Are Reshaping Prosthetic Limb Fitting
    Jul 5 2026
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how augmented reality glasses are transforming the process of fitting prosthetic limbs. They focus on a pilot program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where occupational therapists use AR overlays to map residual limb topography, simulate socket pressure points, and adjust fit in real time — cutting fitting sessions from an average of six appointments down to two. The hosts discuss the specific technology: Microsoft HoloLens 2 running a custom app called SocketSense, developed in partnership with MIT Media Lab. They also touch on the broader implications for veteran care and civilian prosthetics clinics. A concrete look at a technology reducing both physical discomfort and logistical burden for amputees. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #Prosthetics #ProstheticLimbFitting #WalterReed #SocketSense #HoloLens2 #MITMediaLab #OccupationalTherapy #VeteranCare #Amputee #MedicalTech #HealthcareInnovation #ResidualLimb #3DScanning #PressureMapping #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
