Augmented reality has so far struggled to make significant ground when it comes to consumer use. However, several big companies are now taking it seriously, with Qualcomm and, reportedly, Apple set to invest time and a whole lot of money into devices. Pocket-lint's editor, Chris Hall, joins host Stuart to discuss the technology and whether this is the time for AR to shine.

In addition, Stuart talks with Edgar Chekera, the head of performance at Guild Esports, about how he goes about getting the most from some of the biggest eSports stars and how you can adopt the techniques he uses to improve your own gaming prowess. 

And finally, Chris returns to tell us how he’s been getting on with Sony’s latest ANC headphones, with a review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.
