Kristin Ogdon’s Post

🌃 BATTLE OF LA 🌇 Sunday evening was a critical & crucial part of the ‘23 - 24 National Basketball Association (NBA) season as the Los Angeles Lakers faced the LA Clippers ; a duel with superstars in both uniforms. There last meeting on Nov 1st was a Playoff atmosphere in an intense game that led to a Laker victory in overtime, who many fans may claim was the best game of the year. On the First Sunday of 2024, the cross town rivals met again. This rematch was nothing short of spectactular as the Lakers & Clippers have both had different paths since Nov. This was the first time I had the privilage to view a sporting event in #augmentedreality & let me tell you- the World is about to change. The era of #spatialcomputing is going to change how we interact with the World & experiences. I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the development of #mixedreality and making watching a sporting event an #immersiveexperience Let’s all pray we get a classic playoff Freeway series between the Lakers & Clippers this year at Crypto.com Arena ; something that has never happened & it would be a great finale for the Clippers as they begin their next chapter at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome next season. The Future is Bright. A win for everyone in Los Angeles. 📌 What is Spatial? : Spatial Computing is an evolving 3D-centric form of computing that, uses AI, Computer Vision and extended reality to blend virtual experiences into the physical world that break free from screens. Humans are naturally spatial beings that understand and engage with the world volumetrically, so spatial computing promises to return us to spatial thinking that is very often lost as we age and when we are forced to translate our creativity into flat surfaces. #CES2024 #sportstech #Lakers #Clippers #LosAngeles #visionpro

The Motley Fool covered my talk with Nat Rubio-Licht on a new Microsoft #patent for realistic affordable #facialexpressions in #VR, #AR, and #XR. Virtual interactions will go mainstream when meetings feel as natural as Zoom. Conveying nuanced emotions is key. Microsoft's patent could enable seamless virtual connections and bring the #spatialcomputing to the masses. #innovation #AI #artificialintelligence #technology #computervision #machinelearning The Glimpse Group (Nasdaq: VRAR) https://lnkd.in/e323sbVz

The Magnificent 7 but make it Sports 📈 Teams, like stocks, can be volatile. A season can be going well when everything crumbles like a bad earnings call disrupts a fiscal year for a Fortune 500 company. We mapped a “stock price” for every NBA team this year, with a win= +1 and a loss= -1, generating a win/loss score plot over time 📊. When overlaid with public stocks, the correlations draw intriguing parallels between sports and business ⬇️ 📈 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲 & 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 ($𝗔𝗡𝗙) 👚 The last time Abercrombie and the Celtics were both hot was 2008.
