SELF-DRIVING CARS

Tesla added the summon feature to their cars, allowing users to hail their vehicles using a phone app. The cars can automatically start up, open and close garage doors and pull up to their owners. Pretty awesome.

AUGMENTED REALITY?

I saw this link on the cyberpunk subreddit and it's so strange I had to mention it. Ami Yamato is a CGI character who Vlogs in real world settings. This juxtaposition is very interesting, if a little unsettling. It really reminds me of the Rei Toei AI pop star character from William Gibson's Bridge Trilogy.

VIRTUAL REALITY

The Google Cardboard SDKs for Unity and Android add support for spatial audio. Users now only need to add a pair of regular headphones to their cheap setup to experience immersive 3D audio.

Cloudhead Games released a video of a motion cap session for their upcoming VR game, “The Gallery: Call of the starseed”. What's interesting is the actor is inside the virtual world whilst he's acting his lines. Could this spell the end of the green screen?
