Emerging — early real-world deployment
Why it matters
AR merges digital information with physical work — guiding surgeons, technicians, and scientists — and promises a hands-free, spatial computing interface beyond the screen.
Where it stands
Phone-based AR is mainstream; lightweight, all-day glasses with wide field of view and reliable tracking are still emerging.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Mind & Neurotechnology center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at augmented reality: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
