    Telling Real Stories… with Virtual Sets

    Listen In To Learn: How volumetric video and virtual reality could revolutionize medicine, education, and more How virtual sets are helping the film industry reduce environmental impact How these technologies can democratize storytelling, helping underrepresented populations tell their own stories Hollywood's Alternative Soundstage Imagine shooting a film on location in Tokyo, Paris, and London… all without leaving a soundstage in California. Each environment is digitally rendered in such detail that you can place lights, move cameras, and film on the virtual set just as you would a physical one. Now imagine that technology used for training medical students: A virtual reality headset could replicate a state-of-the-art operating room with millions of dollars’ worth of equipment. And each student could have their own. Sony Innovation Studios is pioneering “volumetric video” – the process of scanning sets in 30k resolution to reproduce them in three-dimensional virtual space. Explore the possibilities of this groundbreaking technology with studio President Glenn Gainor.

    Driving Digital Transformation…Through Leadership, Humility and Empathy

    Listen In To Learn How to reduce risk and get buy-in for digital transformation How to identify the right starting point to begin the process The guiding principles of leadership during transformation and beyond How to address the four most significant barriers to transformation The Human Element of Digital Transformation “The shoemaker’s children go barefoot.” It’s a common proverb that applies across industries: The thing you do best for others can be the hardest to do for yourself. Dell Technologies is leading the charge for digital transformation. They help businesses reinvent themselves through technology to run faster, more efficiently and ultimately to greater success. It’s up to folks like Greg Bowen, SVP, Digital Acceleration & CTO, Dell Digital, to make sure that the same transformation is happening internally. Greg is accelerating Dell’s digital transformation by looking beyond just technology. For Greg, it’s a human challenge as much as a technical one – the challenge of convincing 10,000 employees to make radical changes in the way they work. Using Pivotal Labs methodologies, Dell is making a tremendous shift in how its own IT organization, called Dell Digital, operates to quickly design, develop, iterate and deliver new products and capabilities. Greg explains how the process is underway at Dell Digital, the IT organization that supports Dell, and how you can get started with your business.

    Solving a Looming Pilot Shortage… with Virtual Reality

    Listen In To Learn: How data-driven instruction can accelerate learning How virtual reality can promote diversity in a recruitment process How “vertically integrated training” can solve labor shortages The Looming Crisis in the Aviation Industry Pilots must retire at 65 by federal mandate, and there aren’t enough new pilots coming in to balance the aging population. The existing model for pilot training is part of the problem: It’s costly and time-consuming for potential recruits, with barriers of entry that tend to narrow the applicant pool and discourage diversity. Ed Bagden and his team are looking to combat the problem by creating a new model for pilot training. LIFT Academy uses virtual reality to help diverse candidates visualize themselves in the captain’s chair. Then applicants have access to subsidized, tech-enabled training with a guaranteed career path. On this episode, Ed explains how virtual reality, data mining, and machine learning can all be put into play to solve the pilot shortage.

    Listen In To Learn How blockchain can streamline financial transactions A long-term investment plan for blockchain implementation Practical use cases for blockchain technology The Australian Securities Exchange Is Getting Real with Blockchain Of all the exciting new technologies on every business leader’s mind, blockchain may be the most discussed and least understood. Experts say it has the potential to transform every type of transaction. It’s said that blockchain could make banking obsolete and streamline your supply chain. There seems to be endless potential, but not a lot of clarity. And even fewer practical implementations to use as models. The ASX is building a blockchain implementation for finance, a platform where a trusted network can explore the possibilities. Dan Chesterman is the CIO of the Australian Securities and Exchange (ASX) and he’s had to cut through the hype to create something that actually works on the ground level. In this episode, Dan explains exactly what the ASX is working on – how it’s built and what it will do when it’s done. It’s a rare and fascinating practical look at a technology that is frequently more sizzle than steak.
