Augmented Reality Just Got “Augmenta”!

We recently wrote about how the future is slowly staring us in the face and how soon we will interact with technology in different ways. 2016 is seeing an increase in demand for virtual reality or augmented reality and tech giants are ready to deliver.

Our definition of virtual reality will be when an electronic device represents reality electronically and animates the simulation of the environment. Augmented reality goes a step further by representing the reality virtually, but also adding a layer of a simulated environment on the real environment. So you can control reality, virtually! Confused? You are not alone.

Meet Augmenta!

We are slowly moving from typing, to talking to devices, and in the near future air gestures might control all our devices and life. Thanks to the hard work of techies, augmented reality is becoming a reality and could be the norm of computing sooner than we think.

It doesn’t stop there! Companies like Google, Lenovo and makers of Augmenta glasses are still working bring to us augmented reality without need for glasses! See video below.

The future surely looks like it will be in our hands!

Google Cardboard Will Transform Your View!

It seems there can’t be any week the technology giant Google couldn’t make itself known to the world with its innovations or news. Well they are hard at work again and we must give credit to whom it’s due.

The Computer Potato chose to bring you this news because Google is competing for the benefit of the common man or woman.This time the research is for you to experience virtual reality with just a piece of cardboard and your smart phone without spending a fortune.

All you need is a cardboard sold by Google and your smartphone, download some apps and viola you are in the your own world, literally.

How it works: Google says all you need is to “Get it, fold it and look inside to enter the world of Cardboard. It’s a VR experience starting with a simple viewer anyone can build or buy. Once you have it, you can explore a variety of apps that unfold all around you.”
