Nick, Vassiliki and I are talking about Immersive Media in this
episode. You'll hear us refer a couple of times to a previous
conversation, which is a live version of the interview that was
never recorded due to some technical issues at the venue. What's
so exciting about this sequel to that first meeting, in addition
to their generosity for coming back to record with me, is that we
got to plunge fathoms deeper into the topic. It's a long one: but
if you're like me and still deciding how to make sense of
immersion and virtual media, spacial computing, and whether this
will someday come together to the benefit of learners like us,
then you should stick around for the full conversation. It might
surprise you.
