We are fascinated by the intersection of humanity and technology, particularly as the lines between the physical and digital worlds begin to blur. What will the era beyond smartphones look like? What innovations will follow the traditional PC? Emerging human-machine interfaces like virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence provide insights into how our interactions with computers will evolve in the coming years—and vice versa.
