  • 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

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Archaeological Digs

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Archaeological Digs
    Jul 4 2026
    Lucas visited an active dig site last month and saw archaeologists using AR glasses to overlay ancient structures onto bare dirt. In episode 91, he and Luna break down how spatial computing is changing excavation—from real-time 3D mapping to avoiding accidental destruction of fragile artifacts. They walk through a specific case: the Must Farm excavation in the UK, where AR cut mapping time by 40 percent and reduced accidental damage to Bronze Age textiles. Lucas explains the technical stack—LiDAR on the glasses, photogrammetry from drones, Unity-based visualization—and why this matters for a field historically resistant to digital tools. Luna pushes back on cost and battery life concerns. The episode ends with a forward-looking question: will AR replace traditional trowel-and-brush archaeology or just augment it? #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #Archaeology #SpatialComputing #MustFarm #BronzeAge #DigitalArchaeology #LiDAR #Photogrammetry #Unity3D #ExcavationTech #CulturalHeritage #Fieldwork #3DMapping #Technology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Solar Panel Installation

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Solar Panel Installation
    Jul 4 2026
    Episode 90 covers a specific case: a mid-size solar installation company in California that deployed AR glasses for its field crews in early 2026. We walk through how augmented reality overlays guide workers on roof layouts, wire routing, and panel alignment — and the data on time savings. Lucas shares numbers from a project manager he spoke with: install time dropped by about 18 percent after a four-week learning curve, with a 40 percent reduction in callbacks for rework. Luna digs into the practicality: do the glasses work in bright sunlight? What about safety regulations? The episode also touches on how the same tools are starting to be used for residential and commercial solar inspections. If you're curious how AR is moving from warehouses to rooftops, this is a good entry point. #ARGlasses #AugmentedReality #SolarEnergy #SolarInstallation #CleanTech #FieldService #WearableTech #RooftopSolar #ConstructionTech #LaborProductivity #CaliforniaSolar #RenewableEnergy #DigitalTwins #Training #Inspections #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Cardiac Surgery Planning

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Cardiac Surgery Planning
    Jul 3 2026
    Episode 89 dives into a specific, real-world use of augmented reality that most listeners haven't heard of: pre-surgical planning for complex congenital heart defects. Lucas and Luna walk through a case from Boston Children's Hospital, where surgeons used AR glasses to fuse 3D heart models with a patient's anatomy before a six-hour procedure. They discuss the specific technical challenge — depth perception in open-chest surgery — and how AR overlays reduced cognitive load for the surgical team. The hosts also touch on the data: a 2025 study showed that AR-assisted planning reduced graft revision rates by roughly 18 percent in pediatric cardiac cases. No futuristic hype — just the quiet, incremental way AR is changing one of the highest-stakes rooms in medicine. #AugmentedReality #ARGoggles #CardiacSurgery #MedicalAR #SurgicalPlanning #BostonChildrensHospital #CongenitalHeartDefects #3DHeartModeling #DepthPerception #CognitiveLoad #PediatricCardiology #GraftRevision #Technology #FexingoAR #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #ARinHealthcare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Hospital Sterile Processing

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Hospital Sterile Processing
    Jul 3 2026
    Episode 88 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo takes you inside the sterile processing departments of three major US hospitals where AR glasses are being used to reduce contamination errors by 70 percent. Lucas and Luna explore a 2025 study from the University of Michigan Health System, tracking how heads-up displays guide technicians through instrument decontamination, assembly, and sterilization cycles. They look at the specific workflow changes at Michigan Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, and Johns Hopkins, including the 50 percent drop in surgical instrument reprocessing time. The conversation examines the hardware, the software integration with existing tracking systems, and the pushback from infection control committees. This episode offers a concrete look at a high-stakes, low-profile use of AR that is quietly changing hospital operations without fanfare. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #SpatialComputing #HospitalTech #SterileProcessing #PatientSafety #InfectionControl #SurgicalInstruments #MichiganMedicine #ClevelandClinic #JohnsHopkins #HealthcareInnovation #OperationalEfficiency #MedicalTechnology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
