This Week In XR March 1st, 2024 ft. Hugh Forrest, Co-President & Chief Programming Officer at SXSW

Charlie and Ted are without Rony, who is driving across the country. We'll convene at SXSW in Austin to do our show live on stage with Joanna Popper in a session titled "XR in the Age of Vision Pro" on March 12th. In the news, $675M for Figure AI's humanoid robots, powered by ChatGPT, and a new text-to-video tool, Ideogram. Our guests this week are Hugh Forrest, head of programming for SXSW and Blake Kammerdiner, head of XR at SXSW who give us a wide-ranging look at this year's show. To say Ted and Charlie are fanboys would be putting it mildly. 


Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!
