Throughout Nerdy Show's entire nine year existence we've heralded and cautioned about the oncoming world of augmented reality - That one day the virtual world would explode out from your devices and exist forever in your field of vision atop the world as we know it. Soon you won't even need a phone. What comes next will be wearable. 

Join Cap, Jon, and Lightning Dogs' Max Acree as they go beyond the parlor tricks of Pokémon Go and into hands-on experiences with Microsoft Hololens' "mixed reality" workspace. We discuss where the tech is now and where it'll be in the very near future; for better or for worse. Along the way we'll also give some much needed props to forward-thinking anime, look back on mistakes of the 90s, and the likelihood of NPCs IRL.

Nerdy Show

Microsode: Augmented Reality

From far away lands, near Earth orbit, and the gutters of the Internet, we're sourcing the finest semi-organic nuanced discussions on all things nerdy. Cap, boR, Brandon and Jess are hunting monsters, breeding monsters, and reminiscing about ranching monsters with the new games Monster Hunter World and Monster Breeder. We also dial up an old pal for his debut appearance on Nerdy Show: long time listener, first time caller, Ice Abyzz - the Icelandic fan who's now a cast member of the acclaimed audio drama, The White Vault.

We talk to Ice about his upcoming trip to NYC to do a live recording of the show, opening for The NoSleep Podcast, and also get the skinny on the hottest Icelandic fashion trend: necropants. Cap and Brandon took a co-op trip to parts unknown in Mario Odyssey, and meanwhile Jess was living it up on yet another Japanese vacation. Plus we softly and delicately bite into the Lady Doritos controversy and then get explosive about SpaceX's grand geek gesture with the Falcon Heavy test flight.
