Excited to announce that I am now building Teleportal full-time! Georgia Tech has been an amazing experience, but it's time for the Teleportal team to focus on the future of spatial computing / AR. We look forward to sharing more. Thx to everyone supporting us on this journey!

As engineers and designers, we should be creating an _ethical_ future where #SpatialComputing is ubiquitous. We're about to have a plethora of sensors collecting more data on the minds, bodies, and environments of global society than ever with democratization of AR glasses. (1/)

Congratulations to the @CurioBeta team on their launch w/ @Grimezsz ! It was awesome to work with them on prototype->production firmware. The devices went from concept to reality in months with a small & mighty team. I can't wait to see Grok, Grem, and Gabbo in people's hands :)

@sdw @SterlingCooley Exactly. One study producing promising results is great, and I hope it works out, but until it's successfully replicated and peer reviewed, one should not be making claims like this. Speaking of university research, any IRB would find Sterling's tweet in violation of ethics.
