AI can capture & depict the world… but what happens when it understands it? This is contextual computing – the topic of the latest episode of the Medium Energy podcast with Evan Helda.

As Helda discusses with guest Nir Daube, CEO of LIBBA, it’s all about ditching screens entirely. No more scrolling, tapping, or heads‑down menus – just an AI companion that surfaces information in situ through adaptive, spatial interfaces.

But questions remain… Where are we in the adoption curve? What and when are the tech milestones ahead in the near and long term? And what are the philosophical guardrails needed to ensure this seamless digital‑physical blend makes us more human, not less?

As for Libba, it’s a startup fusing AR glasses with generative AI to create context‑aware, real‑world UIs that enhance life without hijacking attention. See the full episode below and see more insights, narratives, and multimedia from Medium Energy.
