Conan O'Brien takes a walk on the virtual side in New York with the YouTube VR Lab. His tour showcases some of the hottest new products at Google. During his tour, Conan experienced Tilt Brush, a handheld sensor that virtually builds graphics to match with the brush strokes with a handheld device. It blew Conan's mind. "This is going to put the marijuana industry out of business." - Conan Conan uses Tilt Brush as a demo and blurs the lines of entertainment and promotion. We also blur these lines, but if our outlet ever acquires funding to write or produce

Stream New Music with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis recently released 'Wednesday Morning' on YouTube. This marks the second unreleased track pairing with 'Drug Dealer' that was released in late October. The Seattle hiphop duo make serious lyrical progress with these two songs, but the beat structure lacks commercial appeal to get the message out to a mass audience. One of the elements that I appreciate about Macklemore's lyrics is his ability to cover complex and simplex topics. 'Wednesday Morning' takes the world back to Wednesday, November 9, 2016. For those that may have forgot what happened on that morning; Donald Trump was announced to

Moe’s Southwest Grill Provides Augmented Reality and Reward Options with Application

By |November 16th, 2016|Categories: Augmented Reality, Culinary, Featured, National News, Pop Culture, Tech News, United States|Tags: , , , , , |

Moe's Southwest Grill has an interactive application that customers can scan for menu options, add reward points, place online orders and experience an augmented reality viewer. Overall, I have found their ingredients at Moe's to be above par in comparison to other restaurants in my area. The atmosphere and sanitary records at the Carbondale, Illinois Moe's has a good track record. Just recently, I downloaded the Moe's Rockin' Rewards app, and found the augmented reality viewer very interesting, and the reward system a smart move. A few weeks ago Moe's acquired some new wall art that caught my eye.

One of the most intriguing YouTube channels that is independently produced is by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In one of his recent projects, The Rock captured the creativity behind virtual reality on YouTube. He worked with Seven Bucks Productions to collaborate on an engaging project titled Escape From Calypso Island. The Rock makes a cameo, and works as the narrator to the story. His words of wisdom during the nail biting moments creates a contrastive layer of comedy. The holiday season will see a large number of new headsets enter households for the first time.
