I\’ve been thinking a lot about the ramifications, through the lens of XR among others (but ultimately, rooted in human behavior!). From the beginning …
I was asked by a journalist to answer the question, \”What do you see as the biggest trends in AR/VR/XR in 2022?\” – and although I typically think a little further out than that, here are some of my thoughts on the matter. I took out the bits he\’s using in the article, and will post links to that when it comes out – but these are what I think some of the most important short term trends for XR will be next year.
I attended the Miami VR Expo two weeks ago, at the invitation of its Co-Founder, Adrian Allen. It\’s their first year, and he told me his goal for it is very clear: to grow the AR/VR community in Miami. A noble cause.

On May 11th I was honored to give a lightening talk at Creative Tech Week around my artist journey with the Google Tiltbrush as part of my 5 day \”VRaycation\”. This fish is the first thing I made in Tiltbrush; I talked about the shift from object creation / CAD mindset, to a world building …
This is actually quite momentous, and something I\’ve been musing about (how it would work) for a while. High def *video* capture – NOT CGI, not a 3d model, but something that you can experience in virtual reality space as if you were standing there in the real world. This is a critical shift, eliminating …
So stoked….I am going up to MIT Media Lab\’s all day workshop this Saturday, to learn about programming in Augmented and Virtual Reality as part of their Reality, Virtually Hackathon…while I freely admit that a portion of the nitty gritty programming will undoubtedly be over my head, I\’m going to get a crash course and overview …
One of the major challenges facing virtual reality is that when you\’re visually immersed in another world, your internal body mechanisms are screaming \”Danger Will Robinson!\” since they know you\’re not *actually* moving/flying/speeding/whatever. There are plenty of companies working on simulating all that, to trick your brain into coming along with your eyes; but it it\’s …
These people got financing for, among other reasons, they aren\’t inventing any technology, rather are closer to a traditional studio creating Virtual Reality content for clients. That\’s a lot of capital for a seed round! Penrose Studio raises seed capital for VR content studio
