An AI for every home

My hopes were high for some earth-shattering VR announcements from Google yesterday. As I watched the keynote on YouTube and sat through a series of announcements that, on the face of it, were rather underwhelming, I started to feel a little less hopeful. When the VR came, it was in the form of an announcement about a new name ('Daydream'), reference specs for VR ready handsets and headsets ('coming this fall') and a peek at the user interface, which looked interesting but somewhere south of what I can already get from Samsung Gear VR. The inclusion of a wiimote style controller was interesting though, and my mind went immediately to the possibility of using this in physical therapy and stroke-rehabilitation. While the future of VR is, in my opinion, very bright and nausea-free, it was the remainder of the keynote that got my neurons firing with possibilities.
