Update on Reach Technology Partnership with We Are Wearables

April 2015: The Father of Wearable Computing & Canadian Premiere of Meta Glasses

This month we are honoured to host the Father of Wearable Computing, Steve Mann and provide Canada’s first look at the much anticipated augmented reality glasses, Meta.

Steve Mann made Toronto an epicentre of wearable tech with his wearable inventions including the smartwatch videophone, HDR, and the EyeTap Digital Glass which predates Google Glass by 30 years. In 1992 Mann took this invention from Toronto to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founding the MIT Media Lab’s Wearable Computing project as its first member. Mann is the Chief Scientist at the Creative Destruction Lab at Rotman’s School of Management, co-founder of InteraXon and the Chief Scientist at Meta, a California-based startup, wearable AR glasses.

Meta is the first wearable Augmented Reality computer that lets you create and share digital objects in the real world. Meta’s AR platform has attracted thousands of development groups building professional and gaming applications for medical simulation, education, government, architecture, industrial design, and many more.
