![]() Customers will be able to order items like frozen treats (when those ice cream cravings hit), household essentials, last-minute meal solutions like macaroni and cheese, and even fragile items like eggs. Once operations begin, customers can download the Wing app from the App Store or Google Play and enter their address to determine if their home is within the Wing drone delivery range. The Walmart Supercenter at 8555 Preston Road in Frisco, Texas, will be the first to launch, joining our existing network of 11 drone hubs already operating in the Dallas area. With drones that can fly beyond visual line of sight, we’re able to unlock on-demand delivery for customers living within an approximate 6-mile range of the stores that offer the service. Working with Wing directly aligns with our passion for finding innovative and eco-friendly last-mile delivery solutions to get customers the items they want, when they want them. The service will be offered from two stores in the Dallas metro area in the coming months, enabling us to reach an additional 60,000 homes. Today, we’re continuing that momentum by teaming up with Wing, an on-demand drone delivery provider powered by Google’s parent company, Alphabet. Over that time, we’ve grown to offer it across seven states and 36 stores, completing more than 10,000 safe deliveries. This book is the first one, the one we could do the most mileage with, but we have concepts for all sorts of augmented objects that we would love to make a reality as well.Two years ago, we embarked on a journey to make the convenience of drone delivery a reality for our customers. "When we started designing this, we were actually thinking of object-based storytelling at large. "Once AR becomes commonplace, and the pair of glasses like the one you're wearing can do AR, everything should be augmentable," Raphael told me after I tried the experience. The Storyteller isn't an actual product yet, but the idea for the book could be. I totally see those as the prime sort of devices for this experience." And even the Quest 3 is going to do a pretty great job, presumably. "Even if what's being rendered is not quite photorealistic, you're getting quite close with the Vision Pro. You're aware of the environment, what's in your hands, but the focus is on what's in the book," Raphael said. In some ways better in some ways not quite as good. "I think passthrough would be great for this. Raphael sees recent passthrough-based mixed-reality VR headsets that can do AR as a perfect match for ideas like this, partly because people actually own these devices, as opposed to the AR-glasses space, which is currently way off on the fringes. ![]() The Storyteller experience emerged from the ashes to launch at the Venice Film Festival, but Felix & Paul Studios' co-founder, Paul Raphael, now sees the experience as being a stepping stone to making an actual book product for headsets sometime soon, possibly even for mixed-reality devices like Apple's Vision Pro or the Meta Quest 3. It was delayed because of the pandemic and because Magic Leap changed its path, shifting from creative-focused experiments to a business-targeted relaunch. The Magic Leap-based Storyteller experience was created five years ago and was intended to debut back in 2020. Stiff pages with marker codes on them are turned one by one, each page making a new chapter come alive and seem to dip into the frame of the book (which also helps with 3D object transparency in AR, since the book's pages are dark black). Headsets like the Magic Leap 2 have a limited field of view, which, in this case, aligns with the borders of the custom-made prop book for the experience. The Seven Ravens experience and its book illusion work pretty well and cleverly use its book design to mask one big limit of current AR glasses. ![]()
