What do you call it when your smartphone camera shows you things that aren’t really there? That’s augmented reality — superimposing a computer-generated image onto what you’re seeing through your camera’s lens, changing your view of the world around you. A Dayton company has used this technology to make a new game for the City of Fairborn. Community Voices producer Lauren Shows has the story.

Well, you’ve heard us say many times that WYSO gives voice to our community, our nation and our world. And that’s true for the voices young and old alike. This week on Senior Voices, Amatul Shafeek remembers the vibrant west Dayton community of the 1950s and 60s.

That segment of Senior Voices featured Amatul Shafeek who grew up in Sacramento, California, but spent summers with her grandmother in Dayton before moving here as a young adult. A recent survey though finds nearly a third of Daytonians age 18 to 34 are “unlikely” to stay in the city. A new program aims to reverse this trend –– by matching more college students with Miami Valley internships. Advocates hope connecting young people to jobs early on could boost the chances they’ll stay in Dayton down the road. For WYSO News, Community Voices producer Kristin Stratman has more.
