From Vibe Coding to Vibe Marketing
But First…Cool, if Real
Augmented Baking:
AR Baking by Lauren Carson
This is a concept for the next gen Snap Inc. Spectacles by Lauren Cason. See the entire video here. Augmented baking isn’t an app today, but it is similar to Dauntless XR's Katana app interface. I love this use case because I would use it every day.
Updates and Wins
We released our Best XR Headsets for Training Guide (no email tax required). Episode 2 of The Dauntless Podcast drops this week, covering why the metaverse hasn’t happened yet.
Industry News
AI Programming Assistant Got Snarky. (Futurism). This is why you say please and thank you to your AI agents! I’m 0% surprised that this happened given that “learn to code” is a common rebuttal on Stack Overflow and this AI agent was most definitely trained using that data.
Mayo Clinic and Healium Test Pre-Surgery VR. (VR/AR Association). Pre-surgery Xanax or pre-surgery VR? These are promising results and I love to see a VR use case outside of job training.
