On this podcast, I’m sharing updates as a medical student during the pandemic that is also exploring educating people on the future of Augmented Reality specifically. It’s all about introducing people to new ways to make it through life by being creative and using technology to help better your lives. A lot has happened since my last podcast episode; continuing medical school, speaking at the Augmented World Expo, the Unity Certified Instructor Summit, and current events. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

I am a content creator, I create comics and cartoons using emerging technology to inspire, educate and entertain people. I want to make Black people enjoy their experiences, that’s what I do. Med school has caused me to take an introspective approach in finding ways to integrate the arts into healthcare education, allowing people to explore themselves or explore the things that happen within them, thus creating an immersive experience for patients and professionals alike, as health education is essentially learning about ourselves and what works and what doesn’t work with ourselves.  It’s all about helping each other out as we advance in this technological age. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

What would Augmented Reality look like from an unapologetically Black perspective? How do you create and pursue ideas without losing your identity? These are the questions that propelled me forward in my creative journey as an AR developer, Black content creator, and a social activist. In this video, I talk about the manifestation of my ideas and projects that led me to finding a medium that didn’t force me to compromise on the decisions of things I wanted to make, instead AR opened up a door of infinite possibilities that can be used to help shape a future that benefits everybody, particularly Black people. Even more so, I also decided to develop a whole curriculum that is at the intersections of Black identity, content creation, just being an artist, being an activist, and being a technologist. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

His main goal is to help ease the process for Black creators in the XR industry and create cultural archives that are preserved for generations to come through AR.  Damien and I had a great conversation about the realities of navigating the tech industry while Black and how XR can be used to impact the people around us. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

Dan Edwards joins us on The Official Stuck On An Eyeland Podcast. Dan is a traditional portrait sculptor that uses his talent to reflect the times. You may have seen some of his work on artists such as Nipsey Hussle, Denzel Curry, and George Floyd. In this episode, Dan talks about the difference between when to profit off of art and when to create something for the people that’s accessible to all. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

After a year of navigating the Augmented Reality Industry both as a consumer and a developer, I started to notice trends in a variety of tangential fields: medicine, the arts, and business to business.

I recap a remarkably interesting year of Augmented Reality Development. Things have been remarkably interesting, especially this year. One of the things that I am enormously proud of is the fact that I spent literally a year in AR, and because of that I learned so much. I feel like it took a pandemic for me to get a career. I think that is just pretty crazy to me. For the most part it has been an interesting year to say the least. One year in Augmented Reality I was able to accomplish literally opening unity for the first time; to going ahead and making my first app called Eyelnd Feevr that I released in January, and I started working in this pseudo influencer YouTube video maker and online educator thing. I essentially took on the idea of exploring my identity as a black creator and sharing that with the world.

2020 was supposed to be off to a great start but the luck gods obviously had other plans.   I recap the highs and lows of the year, and reflect on all the opportunities that came my way in life, augmented reality, medical school, and as a creator.

I Made an Augmented Reality App that Triggered Racists. With all this stuff going on in the world: COVID, Social Unrest, Police Brutality, I decided to make a statement with my work. I had to make an Augmented Reality app for the movement.

So today I decided to turn a sketch on paper into an interactive art piece using Unity, Augmented Reality, and Vuforia. The goal was to see how awesome I can make a simple drawing and push the idea of combining technology and art as far as I could take it. At the end of this little journey, I ended up with a sketch of a character named Cubey, an AR app for my Android phone, and a pretty cool experience to play with.

Does America really need college football right now? With everything going on with COVID-19, the last thing I though I would be spending my time weighing in on whether we should have College Football this season. For those that are unaware, I played college football for 6 years. 4 years at Hawaii, and 2 years at Oregon State. I had two season ending injuries that granted me extra eligibility. Thankfully, I earned a master's degree, built great relationships, and started for the Beavers as a defensive back. As I pursue medical school, being a student-athlete is an aspect of my journey that launched many of my current interests. I felt it was necessary to use my story and experiences to give some context to why people are talking about this right now, and why specifically with football and not any other sport.  Go to the blog for links and references: https://medium.com/@stuckonaneyelnd/does-america-need-college-football-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-d402f7c49e2c?source=friends_link&sk=b56a941b1fec8f6b2c6c07f973ac33ac --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

The value of augmented reality comes from the way digital elements blend into a person's perception of the real world, not only as a simple display of data, but through the integration of immersive interactions. Instead of reading a book, you can watch it, listen to it, or play with it. Instead of looking at a 2D picture, you can rotate, scale it, and move it.

What is an immersive experience and why does it matter? Those two questions have circulated my mind recently as I have gotten deeper into the AR space. An immersive experience is an illusory environment that completely surrounds you such that you feel that you are inside it and part of it.

Augmented reality has the power to change the way we as Black people can interact with the world and create opportunities with technology. I am on a journey to shed light on those avenues as a full stack augmented reality mobile developer. I hope to make stuff that inspires other Black creators to do the same.  Check out my free course on Art, Tech, and Activism in Augmented Reality: https://gum.co/OWHaN If you go to this link, you can take my Skillshare courses for free and have 2 free months of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/3ihvu0Y Read the blog: https://medium.com/@stuckonaneyelnd Listen to the Podcast: https://anchor.fm/stuck-e-podcast Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPpMod_DXYqC3xWgub79MFTm5Ym8eVcu_ Download Augmented Reality App: https://iltopia.com/eyelndfeevrapp Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/iltopia Buy my Augmented Reality Books: https://iltopia.com/product-category/books/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuck-e-podcast/support

When the XR industry is booming, we are going to see studies on diversity and wonder where the black people are at.

Activism is the act of doing something to spark change. When we look at using augmented reality, we are really trying channel the energy and creativity we have into a medium that is more immersive and interactive. Instead of looking at art on a sign, we interact with art in augmented reality.
