Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   With the new year, we’ve got a new brand…Techstination…still bringing you the latest developments in the fast moving world of consumer technology.   Today,  a look at some of the top trends to look for in 2017.   Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are opening doors to new gaming experiences and hold promise for business and entertainment too.   The Pokemon Go phenomenon that launched last year shows just how popular augmented reality can become.   Virtual Reality faces more challenges…with the need for headsets to create 360 degree immersive experiences, but developers and hardware companies are just getting started.    And now that Amazon and Google are bringing artificial intelligence into our homes with Alexa and Google Home…I think you’ll be amazed to see how quickly the technology goes from being fun and entertaining to becoming an almost necessary part of everyday life.   You can find us at Techstination.com.    I’m Fred Fishkin.
