Hi South-Southwest in Austin, Texas. We are working on our SXSW roundup, but take the time to "This week in XR," which was busy. A few words on what to expect from our next SXSW coverage: the most important presence of RAs in the festival & nbsp; was Bose Audio AR, also known as "understandable." Their space acoustic glasses will soon add prescriptions. This will surely be the first commercially popular anti-UV device and will accelerate much faster than the many anti-RA lenses still under development that we discussed at CES in January. Amazon Prime has made a whopping $ 1 million "Activation" (marketing speaks for experiential marketing) for their future "Good Omens" mini-series powered by social media. The SXSW "virtual cinema" had some notable VR experiences, including "Mars Home Planet" by Technicolor and Positron, "Eclipse," from Paris VR Studio Backlight, an RA audio experience by Jessica Brillhart using the aforementioned Bose glasses, and a Reggie Watts VR video clip from Intel Studios. We have seen several& nbsp; remarkable documentaries on science that went wrong. Of course, the main attraction of SXSW is music. More information about all this soon, but let's get to the news this week. & Nbsp;
