Scott Galloway has talked about the idea of bringing AI to people via AirPods for a while. Dennis Crowley is actually working on this. HIs view of this being a different from of augmented reality seems spot on.
The big idea here is that the AR layer can be beyond the visual layer. Essentially, augmented reality doesn't have to be just through glasses; it can be in the ear. If you went back to the blog post that we wrote at Foursquare about Marsbot, one of the headlines was about using audio as the poor man's augmented reality. I'm not waiting for the glasses. I'm going to make something today.
Having an AirPods in and getting a regular feed of information to and from an AI assistant seems very "here and now".
