XR Seattle Podcast

Join together with the band as we talk with Mat Chacon, CEO of one of the first VR Collaboration companies Doghead Simulations, on what XR means for the future of education, collaboration, and work.

The crew gets philosophical with journalist/academic Hanson Hosein (@hrhmedia) as they discuss everything from historical trends on automation, technology adoption, and equity, and of course XR. You might want to do your homework on this one as we pepper the technology talk with economic theory, science fiction, key elements of story-telling, and even lessons from the Age of Revolutions -- all this talk of the leisure class makes me want to re-watch Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon.

We are back! If 2020 was the year of remote work, 2021 is shaping up to be a year of re-evaluating the very nature of work. Decades long trends around automation and AI, coupled with the jolt to the economy from COVID, a new definition of essential workers, and visibility into inequity in the systems of the economy are making us question the future of work. With this episode we begin Season 2: XR and the Future of Work. Join Vinay Narayan, Kirby Shabaga, and Nirav Desai as we look into our crystal ball and predict the future. Ok, it’ll be more analysis than a prediction, and more out of context music references than analysis.

Games and Entertainment. They are what drives platform adoption. But #XR is much more than fun and...games. In this episode, we explore "What can games teach us about making better enterprise applications in XR"? We share games that best demonstrate onboarding/tutorial, locomotion, accessibility, input, and learning abstract concepts. Listen, Share and Subscribe. Happy Holidays from the XRSEAPOD crew, Steven, Vinay, Nirav and Kirby
