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 Quietly Reshaping Prison Officer Training
    Jun 29 2026
    Episode 80 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo explores a surprising new frontier for AR glasses: correctional officer training. Lucas and Luna dive into a pilot program at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice that uses Microsoft HoloLens 2 to simulate high-stress prison scenarios—like cell extractions and riot de-escalation—without putting trainees in physical danger. They discuss how the system projects virtual inmates and guards into real training rooms, tracks officer eye movement and decision speed, and provides instant feedback. Early data shows a 32% reduction in use-of-force incidents among officers who completed the AR module compared to traditional role-play. The hosts also touch on the ethical questions around desensitization and surveillance, and how this tech might expand to other high-risk public service jobs.

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Livestock Veterinary Care
    Jun 28 2026
    Episode 79 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo explores a surprising application: AR glasses in livestock veterinary medicine. Lucas and Luna dive into a pilot program at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, where students and faculty are using Microsoft HoloLens 2 headsets to perform remote cattle pregnancy checks and lameness evaluations. The episode focuses on a specific 2025 study from the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, which found that AR-guided veterinary students achieved 94% accuracy in diagnosing bovine respiratory disease compared to 87% for traditional methods. Lucas breaks down the hardware setup, the software platform (a custom app called VetAR), and the cost savings for rural farms. Luna pushes back on adoption barriers—battery life, dust resistance, and farmer skepticism. They also discuss how the same technology is being trialed for equine dental exams and swine herd health monitoring. The conversation ties back to broader themes: AR as a force multiplier for specialized labor shortages, and the quiet spread of spatial computing into industries you'd never expect. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #VeterinaryMedicine #Livestock #IowaStateUniversity #HoloLens2 #VetAR #BovineRespiratoryDisease #RemoteMedicine #AgTech #SpatialComputing #VeterinaryEducation #RuralFarming #EquineDentistry #SwineHealth #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Grocery Store Operations

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Grocery Store Operations
    Jun 28 2026
    Episode 78 explores a surprising new frontier for augmented reality: the grocery store. Lucas and Luna walk through how a major U.S. grocery chain rolled out AR glasses to its produce and stocking teams in early 2026. They examine the specific use case — visual inventory scanning — that reduced shelf-empty rates by 18 percent in a three-month pilot across 40 stores. The hosts break down the hardware choice (Vuzix M400 with a custom produce-recognition app), the training curve for workers aged 45 to 65, and why this deployment is different from the warehouse-focused AR rollouts covered in prior episodes. They also touch on the broader trend of non-sexy, high-ROI enterprise AR applications that rarely make headlines. A short donation segment supports the show's ad-free mission. #ARInGrocery #AugmentedReality #Vuzix #GroceryTech #InventoryManagement #EnterpriseAR #RetailInnovation #ProduceScanning #ShelfOptimization #FoodRetail #Walmart #Kroger #SpatialComputing #SmartGlasses #TechInRetail #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
