Generally stopped using Twitter since all the X nonsense in favour of LinkedIn and Reels from my daily scrolling fix. Still lots of interesting stuff here though that I don’t see elsewhere. Maybe should pick it back up more.

Looks like a HoloLens with an external battery pack and a different OS. Will be interesting to see what field of view is like as having spent a bit of time using HoloLens that was its biggest limitation. #visionpro

This is classic Amazon, building an impressive capability, opening it up as a service for others to use. Look forward to seeing new hardware, I'm sure there will be some good automated grocery shopping related stuff. #amazon #hardware #sidewalk #iot theverge.com/2023/3/28/23659…

I went to the Monument one at lunchtime today which has the new hybrid setup and it actually had quite a few customers in (to my surprise). Most people paying by card. Much bigger and a lot more stock than the ones I saw in New York in Jan too.

Great to visit Auchan last week in Lille and talk about some of the big things we're working on together. Some interesting things on their campus too.

Sad news, used this since I bought my first digital camera, about 20 years ago. ⁦@ajassy⁩ ⁦@dpreview⁩ digitalcameraworld.com/news/…

Thanks for capturing it Glynn, it was good fun and hopefully the audience took away a couple of things they can apply at their companies.

Really great to hear from Roisin Currie and Seb James this morning at #RWL2023. Both had a few interesting nuggets and a lot of reminders to get out into shops!

Bag on the end of a string (vast over simplification) seems to be the winning formula for drone delivery now. @Wing @MannaAero @zipline now all talking more about scaling and efficient loading too. Additions to increase control of bag from Zipine too: xitter.gq/ryanzip/status/1636107…

Interesting move from Tesco, hard to predict how this one will pan out but not sure the customer will win.

This week our brand new Deliveroo Developer Portal went live with it's first API. Exciting stuff and lots more to come in this space! You can sign up at developers.deliveroo.com/

Some impressive developments from Wing in their Australian trial for network scale and simpler package pickup. theverge.com/2023/3/9/236310…

I've written a bit about store merchandising processes in my time, mostly about using tech to automate it. Not once mentioned getting your fans to do it for you but judging by the response this was pretty effective! Discussions about Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) in comments too.

This (very nice) visualisation set about film success is not only interesting by itself but also gives a nice demonstration of why the headline metric isn't always the best one for determining success of your product. informationisbeautiful.net/v… #metrics #productmanagement

A lot of human senses are yet to be fully digitised and here is an interesting development on smell: wired.com/story/this-startup…. Some interesting videos in this thread @wolfejosh posted from a Lux LP event too: xitter.gq/wolfejosh/status/16182…

Amazing to visit our team in Hong Kong. Hard to find a more varied market for grocery sales and visited a huge number of partners. Western brands like M&S, asian brands like Don Don Donki, partners modernising traditional wet markets and everything else in between.

Whilst inside the tech world a lot of people have tried ChatGPT themselves there are still a lot who haven't heard of it. Here is a good long read from the FT about Generative AI and some of it's capabilities and limitations. ft.com/content/1e34f334-4e73… #ai #tech #chatgpt
