This year, we've seen a few AR companies land on the other side of the Hype Cycle's peak of expectations. BlippAR is the latest. Everyone I met from BlippAR was sharp and responsive. Despite what AdWeek says, BlippAR collaborated with agencies very well. BlippAR, their tools, example applications, and mindset for how AR can apply to our daily lives were more advanced than most companies will be by this time next year. They were advanced in practice, not just theory. And they wanted to advance the practice of AR. Critics say BlippAR may have been too early. But that's better than being way too late. Thanks for giving us a preview of what the next computing platform feels like.

Today at the Parsons Reunion, Kay Unger mentioned that Parsons School of Design was on East 54th street in the 1960s.
Searching for “Parsons East 54th street” pulled up this one relevant result on Google books “The Lives of Danielle Steel.”
Danielle Steel, the the best selling author alive, went to Parsons for a year before dropping out and then going to NYU which she also left before she could graduate.
Here’s a description of what Parsons was like in the 1960’s and how rigorous it was.
