On the Augmented podcast, Pattie Maes talks to Trond Arne Undheim about optimizing technology to be used by people, through fluid, interactive, immersive, and wearable systems, and also about how spinoff Tulip Interfaces grew out of co-founder Natan Linder’s work in the Fluid Interfaces group. 

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. 

In episode 24 of the podcast, the topic is: Emerging Interfaces for Human Augmentation. Our guest is Pattie Maes, Professor at the MIT Media Lab.

In this conversation, we talk about Augmenting people instead of using or making smart machines, AI summers and AI winters, parallels between AI and expert systems and why we didn't learn our lessons, enabling people to perform better through fluid, interactive, immersive and wearable systems that are easy to use, how lab thinks about developing new form factors, and much more.
