Bleeding edge The best of emergingtech

Between the surfacing of a Facebook patent for a cap with a foldable AR screen and the release of a Snapchat filter that’ll make you look like a Disney Pixar character, there were a couple of developments in the XR space this month. AI is, however, again dominating the emerging tech space with new creative endeavours like creating photo-realistic renders of landscapes from coloured in drawings and recreating lost fragments of Rembrandt’s paintings in the artist’s style. It’s also working on side-hustles like developing medication for the developing world’s deadliest diseases and has become head honcho when it comes to firing Amazon’s contract drivers.
