Mary Lou Jepsen: Can a high-tech ski cap read my mind or tell me when I’m sick? (Live at SXSW)

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Entrepreneur and display expert Mary Lou Jepsen talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode in front of a live audience at South by Southwest 2017. Jepsen, who co-founded One Laptop Per Child and previously worked at Google and Facebook's Oculus, says the screens of the future will be embedded all around us, or possibly replaced by "Star Wars"-style holograms. Her latest company Opnwatr is working on wearable MRI technology that could analyze a person's thoughts and health, and Jepsen says we need an international "bill of rights for new technology" before it becomes commonplace.
