XR Star #31 - A New Era of XR

7/11/2023

 
After years of anticipation, Apple have finally announced their move into the XR market with the #VisionPro headset. Meanwhile, Meta have announced that the #Quest3 will come out this fall and cost $3,000 less. With Samsung and Google also collaborating on an XR headset expected to be unveiled later this year, this all indicates a new wave of XR forging its way into our lives... But who will come out on top? What are the real benefits of exchanging traditional screen interfaces for headsets? Are people ready? And what does this mean for the future of work and entertainment?

To help answer some of these questions and more, I am thrilled to welcome XR and Metaverse expert, Tom Ffiske, editor of the Immersive Wire!

The Park Playground - Birmingham

6/29/2023

 
Had the privilege of visiting the brand new Park Playground in Birmingham this week!

Hadn't realised until I got there and saw their menu that I'd helped award their "Don't Scream" experience as the "Best Arts and Entertainment Solution" at the XR Awards earlier this year.

Was super impressed by the venue, the entire experience, quality of VR and games, and the lovely hosts. Completely lost myself inside one their immersive multi-player games. I had so much fun that I've invited their CEO to be my next guest on XR STAR.

Can't wait to learn more about this location-based VR franchise, and I also can't wait until my next visit!

Closing Keynote - CMS Consumer & retail Conference

6/29/2023

 
Picture
Yesterday I had the pleasure of sharing my latest research and insights into "Converging Technologies & the Future of Retail" at CMS UK's Consumer & Retail Conference! As this event rounded out the mini world tour I've been on the last several months, here's a couple key points that may be helpful to remember no matter what industry you're in:

👉 Education is the most powerful tool we have when it comes to adopting and utilising new technologies in the most responsible and strategic ways. We'e not just talking about investing in tech - we're also talking about investing in ourselves and our people.
​
👉 By 2030 we are going to have the disparate workforce ever in terms of age, experience, expectations, and locations. Organisations are going to need to adopt MetaHybrid models in order to solve emerging challenges and create a company culture that attracts and retains talent.

👉 We can no longer talk about technologies like Gen-AI, blockchain, XR, etc. in siloed conversations - It is almost impossible to talk about one without also considering the impact and influence of the others. It is at these intersection points that we are getting a roadmap to both coming opportunities and disruptions.

👉 We have to be aware of and talk about risks now - from issues of embedded bias, to threats on equality, the environment, and our perception of reality. The only way to avoid potential pitfalls is to identify them ahead of time.

Thanks to Tom Scourfield, Katie Nagy de Nagybaczon, Alice Meekins, Katie Stirrop, and everyone else who made it a terrific event!
