"When Facebook reinvented itself into Meta in October 2021, it was widely
reported that Meta would be focusing on virtual reality (VR) by being at the
forefront of the metaverse.

But Meta has not given up on the world of bricks and mortar yet, as reflected
by the company’s massive investment in augmented reality (AR) glasses.

My research considers smart real estate and human-computer interactions in
smart environments.

Meta is only one among many companies betting that the future of physical space
will involve merging with digital space, resulting in an augmentation of our
reality. Apple, Google, Snap, Microsoft and a string of other tech companies
are working on AR wearables: AR glasses, smart contact lenses and AR headsets."
