Will Clutter help declutter?
Can we (yet) rely on computer algorithms and machine-learning to make sense of that most unpredictable substance in the universe – human behaviour?
Augmenting a non-visual reality
Whilst wearables and watches continue to be hyped in the news but have yet to enthral in reality, a wearable with far more value has been field tested – using sound to help the visually-impaired to navigate cities
