What we're about
Upcoming events (4+)
Apple's recent announcement of the ambitious but startlingly expensive Vision Pro HMD has sparked a shift in the XR landscape, raising crucial questions about its future trajectory. To delve deeper into the potential impact of the Vision Pro, we have assembled a panel of experts:
-
Jared Bienz has a long history working as part of Microsoft's Hololens team. His deep understanding of this technology allows for valuable insights into the advantages and potential drawbacks of the Apple headset's reliance on Passthrough AR.
-
Karen Snyder, the Managing Director and Transmedia Producer at TYM Studios, and also an Adjunct Professor of Digital Media at the University of Houston, offers invaluable expertise in XR content creation. She will provide practical insights into the applied uses of the Vision Pro and its implications for content creators.
-
Josh Bankson, of Mace Virtual Labs, has extensive experience managing relationships with Enterprise and Education XR users. His understanding of their unique use cases and goals positions him perfectly to discuss how the Vision Pro's capabilities and price point could change these markets.
We will also discuss how the Quest 3 announcement (and Quest 2 price-cut) are shaking things up on the more affordable end of the spectrum. And several of us made the trek out to Augmented World Expo in Santa Clara, so we'll cover the key takeaways from it.
Come join in the discussion! It's going to be a wild one!
As always, we'll have Quest 2s and a Quest Pro available for demos. Feel free to bring personal projects and/or hardware to demo!
