Chris Kluwe

Gives Talk0 Comments

Kluwe, a former Minnesota Vikings punter, talks  about a new version of augmented reality where the audience watching from home can get a sense that they are actually right there on the field with the players. He states that it is a new way for the fans to participate in the action, however, there are even more important uses for the technology.

But the question I ask you is, is that’s all that we’re content to use augmented reality for? Are we going to use it solely for our panem, our circenses, our entertainment as normal? Because I believe that we can use augmented reality for something more. I believe we can use augmented reality as a way to foster more empathy within the human species itself, by literally showing someone what it looks like to walk a mile in another person’s shoes.

Chris Kluwe interview

Interview0 Comments

Kluwe guests on Conan and talks about his controversial letter to Maryland state assembly delegate Emmett Burns regarding same-sex marriage and gay rights. He also reveals that he is an avid world of Warcraft and table top miniatures player and that NFL players can be smart, too.

That’s the thing is that a lot of people have this assumption of NFL players as knuckle dragging troglodytes because you only hear about bad players. Those are the guys that make the news. There are a lot of smart players in the locker room. But you don’t hear about them because they take care of business and they go home. Who wants to report on that?
