You may never get to dance in real life with Barack Obama, Donald Trump, or Hillary Clinton, but thanks to a new augmented reality company, you can do it virtually! Liat Sade-Sternberg is the CEO of Fuse.it and she joins Cheddar to explain how their start-up is changing the way users interact with augmented reality.
Fuse.it enables users to interact with a range of 3D animated characters as well as movie scenes and music videos. These videos can then be posted to various social media channels.
The app is updated with the most current news, pop culture figures, and viral videos. Fuse.it is now available on both Apple and Android devices.
Skype users are scrambling to find an alternative after Microsoft shut down the pioneering internet phone service which let people make cheap long distance calls and chat with other users. Google Voice lets users make calls from a smartphone or a desktop web browser but it's only available to people in the U.S. Viber users can call phone numbers but can't get a number to receive calls. Zoom offers phone options too. You could get a number from a low cost virtual carrier or try other internet phone services. Microsoft says some Skype features will migrate to Teams, but its Teams Phone feature is only for businesses.
