    #39: Alex & Ty at RiVR

    Send us a text RiVR: https://rivr.uk/ Alex: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alextenchrivr/ Ty: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyronne-leon-fernandez-0401b973/ Apple Vision Experiment: https://www.youtube.com/@AVisionexperiment _________ Alex Harvey, Creative Director & Co-Founder Before becoming Creative Director and Co-Founder of RiVR, I was making fancy racing games trailers for games with Codemasters and running a video company that started 2014. Now, based in Southam, Warwickshire, Life evolves so fast and in 2017 I started RiVR, bringing a team together to push the limits of Extended Reality – mainly because they’re cleverer than me but Im much like Steve Jobs, I have a vision that others can execute better. In just 7 years, RiVR’s gone from a UK thing to a big international deal, creating photo-realistic training environments for the Ministry of Defence, emergency services, and for companies in the UAE, USA, Europe and beyond. We aim to make VR so realistic it feels like you’re actually there... without the the cost of the travel. I’m all about showing people how VR/MR training is speeding up human learning  Tyronne Leon-Fernandez, Immersive Content Creator & Technologist I've been passionate about technology for as long as I can remember, always eager to get my hands on the latest innovations whenever I or my family could afford them. I’ve experienced the leaps from changing TVs, to the arrival of the internet, to the rapid evolution of mobile phones—bringing messaging, cameras, and more into our pockets. But the moment that truly changed everything for me was when I tried the Oculus DK1 for the first time. Despite the excitement, I walked away disappointed, thinking I could create a more immersive experience. Fast forward to 2024, and that’s exactly what I do—pushing headsets to their limits in pursuit of the most visually immersive experiences possible. I thrive in the fast-paced world of XR and spatial computing, and I couldn’t imagine my life without it anymore.  _______ #metaverse #virtualreality #techstartup #sales Support the show
