Aaron Gordon appears on "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Thursday, July 28, 2022.

Tech leaders are investing heavily in AR, or augmented reality. Maybe you've seen the glasses that are supposed to make you feel transported to different places, or events, or scenarios. That's just the beginning. Within a decade, some tech innovators are predicting that AR will be everywhere: it will impact how we meet with co-workers or friends; how we learn new skills; even how we vacation.

Is this a future you want? Is it inevitable? Our guest recently had a lot to say at an RIT futurists conference. In studio:
