    They just invented a way to have objective waypoints like you do in video games. That’s awesome.

    I used to work at Zara where every products are tracked by RFID from inventory down to payment. With labor shortage and emphasis on cutting labor cost, I can see this technology be super helpful. A lot of time is waisted on trying to find what we are looking for from a gross estimation. So when there’s one pair of jeans left in a 10,000 sq/ft messy store with thousand of items, putting on those glasses and locating it would really help out. Those working in the back-store could work twice as fast which would make the job less stressful. These woman could easily get a deal with Inditex

    RFIDs are a way better option used for tracking merchandise then Amazons cameras. They keep getting my shopping wrong. When you grab something and put it back it doesn’t see that you put it back

    All hand guns should have this technology embedded within them. Police officers should have the headgear so they can see if a citizen has a weapon.
    No more mistakingly, shooting someone over a cell phone or any other non-threatening device.

    Hey Microsoft, Sony had you thinking they were after the Blizzard Activision deal when in reality they’re gonna eat your lunch over V.R. Better not get left behind. COD doesn’t sell consoles but PSVR just might.

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.
