Like millions of other kids around the world, Jamieson Christmas, now in his mid-forties, was transfixed the first time he saw director George Lucas' epic space opera Star Wars. "I'm a child of the '70s," he told Digital Trends. "I grew up when Star Wars was first released. George Lucas set up this vision of little robots beaming three-dimensional pictures of people. It had a really tremendous influence on me."

Videoconferencing has become a cornerstone of how many of us work these days -- so much so that one leading service, Zoom, has graduated into verb status because of how much it's getting used. But does that mean videoconferencing works as well as it should? Today, a new startup called Headroom is coming out of stealth, tapping into a battery of AI tools -- computer vision, natural language processing and more -- on the belief that the answer to that question is a clear -- no bad Wi-Fi interruption here -- "no." Headroom not only hosts videoconferences, but then provides transcripts, summaries with highlights, gesture recognition, optimised video quality and more, and today it's announcing that it has raised a seed round of $5 million as it gears up to launch its freemium service into the world. You can sign up to the waitlist to pilot it, and get other updates here. The funding is coming from Anna Patterson of Gradient Ventures (Google's AI venture fund); Evan Nisselson of LDV Capital (a specialist VC backing companies building visual technologies); Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, now of AME Cloud Ventures; Ash Patel of Morado Ventures; Anthony Goldbloom, the co-founder and CEO of Kaggle.com; and Serge Belongie, Cornell Tech associate dean and professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. It's an interesting group of backers, but that might be because the founders themselves have a pretty illustrious background with years of experience using some of the most cutting-edge visual technologies to build other consumer and enterprise services.

Multifunction glasses that can monitor your health, let you play video games with your eyes and still work as sunglasses are developed by South Korean scientists. The groundbreaking new wearable tech built at Korea University, Seoul, can provide more advanced personal health data than devices like Fitbits or smart watches. Devices that measure electrical signals from the brain or eyes can help to diagnose conditions like epilepsy and sleep disorders -- as well as in controlling computers. A long-running challenge in measuring these electronic signals, however, has been in developing devices that can maintain the needed steady physical contact between the wearable's sensors and the user's skin. The researchers overcame this issue by integrating soft, conductive electrodes into their glasses that can wirelessly monitor the electrical signals.

Augmented Reality is still developing as a technology, but is beginning to move into the mainstream. The big tech companies are scrambling to build sustainable AR ecosystems to gain early foothold in the potentially lucrative market, while specialist firms are focusing on areas like content development. In 2018, Alibaba, the Chinese ecommerce giant launched Taobao Buy, an app that aims to make online shopping more interactive. The app, accessible via Microsoft's HoloLens headsets, allows users to browse and interact for a select range of products from Alibaba's online store. Alibaba acquired Infinity AR and has also invested in Augmented Reality companies like WayRay and Magic Leap.

Augmented reality (AR) is featuring with smartphone makers and social media firms. These are frontline adopters and developers of facial recognition, using it for device security and personalised entertainment (like Snapchat Filters). Makers of smart glasses are also taking an interest in facial recognition. However, privacy issues remain a concern, especially in the consumer market. That said, some enterprise-grade smart glasses are using facial recognition technology for specific functions. Several leading social media platforms allow users to add AR features to their content.

Researchers at the Yonsei University of Seoul have developed a new type of robotic contact lens that can be recharged wirelessly and which could bring a wide variety of futuristic uses for contact lenses one step closer to reality. The new devices are built around a circular translucent antenna and super capacitor system that can receive continual power without needing to be plugged in to an external power source. These experimental new contact lenses will also be able to draw electricity without raising the temperature of the lens, eliminating a potential long-term cause of harm to wearers and the device itself. According to a report from Yonhap News Agency, because the lenses are completely self-enclosed they can be maintained with standard contact solutions without any risk of degradation. The team used soft contact lens material instead of rigid material to ensure the tools could be used in as wide a variety of circumstances as possible.

Augmented reality glasses could soon replace repair manuals. Fieldbit, a technology company based in Mountain View, has developed an AR application targeted at engineers and field repair specialists that will place instructions for how to operate machinery and repair malfunctioning industrial equipment directly into one's field of view. The technology allows an engineer to see a live feed from the glasses of a worker on the ground and place specific instructions into the environment to guide them through a maintenance or repair procedure. Fieldbit's AR software will give detailed instructions to field workers on site. For routine procedures, companies can record the instructions and spatial information into a database so future employees can access the information at any time.

Magic Leap's $2,300 spatial computing platform Magic Leap One may be too expensive for most consumers, but like other early augmented reality devices, enterprise users with bigger pocketbooks are embracing its potential as a business tool. One particularly promising category is health care, where Magic Leap says it's now collaborating with at least five different companies to bring its hardware into labs, clinics, and even hospital operating rooms. On the surgical side, German medical technology company Brainlab is working with Magic Leap on a collaborative 3D spatial viewer for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) content, enabling clinicians to work together when viewing medical images. Brainlab's software could, for example, let a doctor and radiologist talk through multiple brain scans before a surgical procedure, or enable a surgeon to rely on a heads-up display of scanned imagery while performing a procedure. Another brain-focused initiative involves SyncThink, a company that uses eye tracking analytics to help diagnose patients' concussions and balance disorders.
