How will Magic Leap 2 help the company? Here’s what they said: Syncthink Neurotech develops artificial intelligence-based and wearable solutions that enable users to control their symptoms, and ultimately improve the quality of their lives. They’re going to create apps that will help people with health problems like dizziness by showing them different scenes, like walking around the Eiffel Tower or experiencing something else to distract them from their current symptoms.
What is Neurotech?
Simply put, a neurotech is a non-invasive device that allows you to achieve a higher level of brain functioning by creating and recreating new neural pathways within your mind. Neurotechnologies can be used to treat depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, addiction and more. While not as invasive as other treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), these devices can produce positive results without harming your natural brain chemistry. While TMS works with an electromagnet to create neuromodulation on targeted parts of your brain—triggering small seizures—neurotechnologies are designed to work with your own neurology. Here’s how it works.
How it works?
Worn like glasses, SyncThink’s headset uses machine learning to identify and assess neurosensory disorders through a continuous, non-contact rapid oculography that’s similar to an eye exam. According to TechCrunch, SyncThink is developing augmented reality hardware and software intended to improve treatments of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by tracking and analyzing users who are already exhibiting signs of cognitive decline. Now it plans to go head-to-head with Magic Leap as part of its strategy; because who else are you going to take on in AR?
About Magic Leap 2
The headset is a wearable computer with many mini digital lightfield chips, it uses lightfield photonics. The headset projects digital light into your eyes in such a way that it takes advantage of your brain’s natural ability to process 3D images. That means that instead of displaying flat digital images on a two-dimensional screen, like you would on an iPhone or TV, Magic Leap projects lifelike 3D objects that look and feel like they exist in physical space, allowing users to interact with them naturally and intuitively. This gives rise to what’s called presence, an experience so realistic and compelling you can’t help but believe that these virtual objects are actually present in your physical environment.
