 I'd like to invite you to an upcoming discussion I'm hosting and sponsoring along with designer Freyja Sewell :
"F**k Cyberpunk: How female-led design & thinking can redefine the Metaverse" We are on the cusp of co-creating a new world, the Metaverse. We can create whatever kind of world we want. It can be beautiful, biophilic, inclusive and diverse. Yet too often rather than exploring new visions and priorities, we face a self fulfilling prophecy of cyberpunk, commercialism and dystopia. This event is a conversation around how we can do things differently and aim for something better. To be held online Thursday 30th March, 18:00 - 19:00 BST. For more info and to reserve your free ticket, Please RSVP here. (Speaking of amazing women!) I recently had the pleasure to sit down with leading Web 3.0 expert Peg Samuel to talk all things Digital Collectibles (formerly known as NFTs 😆).

As we celebrate women today, I am thrilled to share this interview with a personal hero of mine in the VR / tech space - "The Godmother of Virtual Reality" and the world's leading pioneer in Immersive Journalism - Nonny de la Peña, PhD!
Dr. Nonny de la Peña creates stories that you remember with your entire body, not just your mind. Her innovative, high impact, immersive journalism puts us in the middle of something we might normally see on the news, giving us presence and making you a participant rather than just a passive viewer. Tackling some of the most vital issue of our time, from climate change, the refugee crisis, and hunger; to police brutality, prison reform, abortion, and domestic violence, her work doesn't just tell stories - it allows us to live them. In a huge step forward to making this technology more accessible and available, Emblematic Group have just launched the beta of REACH.Love, the first web platform for creating, remixing, and sharing volumetric VR. It allows anyone to make immersive volumetric VR from their own home using real people and places. A simple drag-and-drop interface lets users place themselves into high-res 3D environments, and then share the results via a simple web link. Watch the whole interview on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts! HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY! 🙌 🙏🏼 🎉 #IWD2023 #internationalwomensday #womenintech #womeninAV #womeninXR  So much fun to celebrate International Women's Day in Bristol with all these incredible women in media and tech! Thank you Plaster for inviting me! & can definitely recommend Rick's Bar at The Bristol Hotel!

Awesome predictions and future vision from a CEO who is successfully navigating and leading the industry in 'Blockchain in the Metaverse'! Check out Part 2 of my interview with the brilliant Daren Tsui or Together Labs here: https://youtu.be/upLJfWdtqRg #NFTs #NFT #blockchain #metaverse #2023predictions #crypto Social media today is not what we originally signed up for, and if you're like me, you're getting itchy for something better...
This interview really underlines the powerful potential the metaverse has to replace the inauthentic, polarising, hyper-normalised, ad-based social media structures we accept today with something that legitimately generates, nurtures, and fosters human connection in a way we haven't yet achieved / experienced in the digital age. Check out what Daren Tsui, the CEO of one of TIME's 'Most Influential Companies' Together Labs, has to say on the future of social media, dating, 'situationships', the science of friendship, and the significant opportunity we have right now to redefine communication and connection. https://lnkd.in/g95dDuWv Stay tuned for Part 2 - Covering 2023 Trends in NFTs and crypto!

Either way, we are committed to bringing you the latest news in the commercial side of the AV industry. Joining Bradford this week is Futurist and host of XR Star Amelia Kallman, Kirkegaard Partner & Principal of Integrated Systems Design Bren Walker and AV Solutions Engineer Chrissy Sara.
Occupancy monitors aren’t a new thing, but this article has them in a new light: Students rebel against heat sensing crotch monitor surveillance devices. Yes, you are reading that title right. Northern University students found these devices in off all places the Cybersecurity & Privacy Institute. After finding the sensors, the students removed them and have made something of an art piece out of them. We discuss the way that surveillance has had an impact on AV. Amazon Studios has opened up a new virtual production stage, along with a new department solely based on virtual productions. This is similar technology to the ones used for Disney shows like The Mandalorian, instead of traditional green screens. For AV, it’s very important since those walls are giant LED screens to display that technology. We look at the future of broadcasting and productions. Host: Bradford Benn Guests:

 Such great insights from Nischal Belthan on the future of NFTs and crypto - from what we can expect in 2023, and beyond! As he says, "The genie is out of the bottle," and blockchain technology is turning everything we think we know about finance and ownership on its head, offering us the potential to re-evaluate traditional structures and create a more equitable global society.
