Day 2 was filled with great visits to companies like Facebook, Beta Works and more.
The #HoneyBadger is beat from day two of the @LocalMediaAssoc's Innovation Mission. He and @shannonkin visited @betaworks, @SpokenLayer, the @nycmedialab, and @facebook. We hope they get some rest and are recharged for tomorrow's full day at the @mercer #InnovationHub. #LMAIM pic.twitter.com/g59jNwa44b

The voice opportunity is so huge. We learned all about it at Spoken Layer.
And a key point by Will at @SpokenLayer: that's only ads! Think about how big the market becomes with adjacent opptys like product recommendations, affiliate sales, subscriptions & more #LMAIM https://t.co/FuoJeHA15g

50 percent of searches will be voice based by 2020
A lot of it is audio delivery of content – I have my Google Home read me news each day, and more than 50% of searches are predicted to be voice based by 2020, a lot is moving in that direction #LMAIM

But voice content has to be snackable
@spokenlayer focused on helping create snackable voice content, creating "news feed" of information in audio #LMAIM

The Media Lab’s Justin Hendrix gives an edge to AR over VR
In the ongoing AR vs. VR debate, @justinhendrix gives an edge to AR, at least for media/storytelling use cases. The introduction of Apple's ARKit is a big step in making the opportunity easier. Headsets next? #LMAIM

Look at all of these possibilities
Full ecosystem of Data / ML / NLP emerging across audio, video, text, graphics. Many of these tools can create new efficiencies & capabilities for local media @nycmedialab @justinhendrix #LMAIM pic.twitter.com/ZbcZLnW7yv
