The Conversation
In this conversation, Amy and I discuss the viability of the location-based VR market and the potential for AR & VR in childhood education.
We get into the current opportunities and challenges in bringing spatial computing to the enterprise. One of these challenges is the difficulty in explaining a technology that needs to be directly experienced, so much so that Amy now insists C-level executives put on a headset as a first step in the consulting process.
We also talk about VR & AR in healthcare, and the potential impact of blockchain technology.
