Here at Digital Science, the younger sibling of Nature Publishing Group, we are always thinking of what we can do to make the lives of scientific researchers more efficient. In light of this mission, back in July 2012 we launched the first of our Digital Science Concepts videos, Touchless, showcasing our  thinking on the future of science. The video doesn’t actually include any projects we’re developing but, who knows… maybe one day we will!

Following on from our Touchless video, our latest video Protovision, released on Friday, explores how the better use of technology might change the lab of the future. We look at how video augmented glasses can bring the laboratory around you to life!

Are you are a scientist? Would you find this sort of technology helpful? What technology would make your work life easier? How do you see the lab of the future? Join the conversation #DSconcepts
