  • I know everyone likes to tout VR, but I really think that AR will be the sweet spot most people ultimately adopt. Add it into nice looking glasses (sorry Google Glass, not it) and have some sort of easier to use interface that can interact with your surroundings and that will take off.

    Imagine being in a business meeting with a little pop up over each person’s head with their name, title and other interesting information you need to know. Or be at a baseball game and have similar stats pop up above each player’s head. Turn by turn directions overlaid directly on the street. There are endless possibilities (as long as the ads don’t get in the way, but even for them, imagine green screen billboards that can display unique ads too).














  • MHz refers to the samples per second, not the pitch. CD audio for example is 16-bit/44.1kHz. What that means is there are 16-bits of sampling (audio) taken 44,100 times per second. DSD on the other hand is 1-bit samples taken 11.2 million times per second, this is referred to as DSD256. What that translates to is a digital wave that looks a lot closer to an analog wave than a CD does. It has nothing to do with the frequency of listening in this case.

  • How it’s implemented can vary, but you’re gonna take one of three approaches

    • Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there’s no overlap
    • Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
    • Separate subnets - if your router doesn’t support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

    The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.
