Jeri Ellsworth: This space is really noisy right now with different lingo. How do you describe the different between mixed reality and augmented reality? I think a lot of people are familiar with augmented reality, especially with the advent of Pokemon Go. This is being described as mixed reality. Jeri Ellsworth: The ability to have fancy graphics and sound and rich animations combined with real world cardboard and plastic figures and sitting across table from your friends and being able to look them in the eye and have a social connection. What we’re trying to achieve is to take the things that you love about video games and the things that you love about traditional board games and blend those together. So you slip on these glasses, you flip open a game board, and game characters will just spring from your table. Jeri Ellsworth: Tilt Five is a headset that you wear.
