For people who understand neural networks, this is HUGE! I have been dreaming for a custom chip for neural networks for 5 years! If they pull it off and deliver a product launch in a year or two, then they would smoke the competition again.

The virtual home sounds more appropriate for VR than AR or am I missing something about the in hospital scenario - with AR you'd still see all the hospital just with some bright holograms trying to be "in front"
You know, I've never been able to pin down what the difference is between AR and VR, everyone has a different answer. Basically, yes, we'd use the non HL ones for 'home' visits while in the hospital, if the kids can handle the nausea (they tend to be on a lot of meds, things get complicated). Again, the 'hacker ethos' doesn't really work in a hospital, moving fast and breaking things is a no-go with the Hippocratic o…
VR -> Virtual Reality is where the entire landscape is computer generated, the viewer does NOT see anything other than what the computer generates.
AR -> Augmented Reality is where the viewer is able to see around them and the computer projects images to the glass surface, at the right size and color, so that they appear to be in the world around the viewer

HL needs light for environment tracking. The best way I've found is to use sleep mask to block the light while letting cameras "see"
No it doesn't. Surface mapping is done via IR.
Pro-Tip: Want to change medicine and help the world? Find a way to get rid of the wires and tubes. It is really amazing how many wires and tubes there are in a room these days. Yeah, wireless charging and all that, but often that'll mess up a pacemaker (maybe) and so it's avoided. Also, bandwidth issues with a whole building of wireless signals. It's not easy, but it would help more so than a cancer vaccine.
