Audio in An Augmented Reality

This week on A Bit of Culture we welcome back Vernon Adrian Emuang & Matt Armitage to the fold. Our host Kam Raslan opens with his recent discovery of Clubhouse, a trending topic among iOS users over recent weeks. The drop-in audio chat application aims to foster networking among its users, but is it here to stay? Vernon then steers the conversation to audiobooks, lamenting the library’s lack of Malaysian authors. Lastly, Matt dives into the advancement of virtual reality, an artificial reality that enables extensive learning and entertainment that have proven to be a piece of technology that deserves prioritization.
