Episode 37, July 29, 2016

This episode is a different format. Over the July 4th weekend, my extended family gathered at my sister’s house on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for vacation. There were nearly 20 of us under one roof for a weekend of fun in the sun, beach, food, fireworks, parades, and of course, my HTC Vive. I took this opportunity to speak with many of them before and after their trying VR for the first time. And I assembled the recordings here for this podcast.

Episode 36, July 26, 2016

In this episode we talk about the Vive and Rift games we’re playing, emotional responses to my re-creation of my childhood living room. And of course, Pokemon Go. We also talk about some of the origins of HTV Vive and consumer VR, the upcoming Google Daydream platform, and other devices like Meta 2 AR and the Enflux VR body suit. And other things VR and AR.
