On this episode of Everything VR & AR, we are joined by the Founder & CEO of Marxent Labs to talk about their product called VisualCommerce.
When it comes to retail business, the traditional brick and mortar stores we can easily visit in person need to be able to provide a way to separate themselves from the online only companies. Lowe's for example, is working with Marxent Labs to provide their customers an experience they call Holoroom.
Imagine being able to control a VR or AR headset using only your eyes.
The company who my guest Jim Marggraff helped co-found, named Eyefluence, is working to make this a reality for users for all sorts of various use cases.
Have a listen as Jim Marggraff explains what Eyefluence is and how it came to be, what some of the use cases can be for this technology along with discussing the concern many people may have in regards to the health of users eyes.
Those are just a few of the topics we discussed on Everything VR & AR!
