Virtual Goggles For Your Future Robotic Assistant

by Piers Fawkes

This CGI concept Blutsbrueder design caught our eye. It’s from a spread of images they created called “Future Girls” that wanted to guess how normal media gadgets would appear in the future. Predictions include a screen/ self renewing newspaper, virtual maps and these virtual goggles.

Designed and conceived by Franz Steiner, he wondered what the personal assistant might look like in the future. He thinks that there wont be a desktop, headset or even pens - instead there will be only one “all in one”-gadget with sound and speaker systems as well as internet access.

Will she be a robot though, we wonder?
