The Conversation

In this conversation, Stan shares how his passion, a great team, and a few mentors have helped shape the company into Europe’s leading mixed reality hardware company. Stan starts by laying the foundation for why he believes the Lynx approach to video passthrough is the right path for the market.

Stan goes on to touch on:

  • the retention issue for VR devices,

  • why the fully-featured AR headsets such as Hololens will cease to exist,

  • his approach to establishing a contender to compete against Meta,

  • Lynx’s approach to privacy,

  • and the opportunity and imperative of being based in Europe.
