Augmented Reality Innovations
For over a decade, Jay has been developing his own augmented reality headsets under the brand Mirror Vision Wear. His goal is to create affordable, 3D-printed designs that rival the expensive offerings from tech giants like Meta and Microsoft. Jay’s innovative approach aims to make augmented reality accessible to all, envisioning a future where anyone can purchase these headsets at convenience stores.
Collaborations and Projects
Jay has collaborated with various bands, showcasing his headsets during live performances across the United States and Canada. His recent participation in the Miami NFT Hackathon led to the creation of 1,000 augmented reality designs using AI, which unlock unique virtual experiences for NFT owners.
The Underworld Project
One of Jay’s ambitious projects is the Underworld technology, which aims to recreate the presence of deceased ancestors using AI and augmented reality. This project could allow people to communicate with their ancestors and explore their histories in a deeply immersive way.
