Happy International Womens Day!

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! 🙌 🙏🏼 🎉
