This Week In XR May 3rd, 2024 ft. Jennifer Tuft and Cassandra Rosenthal, Co-CEOs and Founders of Kaleidoco and Particle Ink
This week the hosts discuss the new lawsuits against OpenAI. After six months of hype, sentiment about the Humane AI Pin, and The Apple Vision Pro, has become increasingly negative. This week, the press went after the darling of CES 2024, the Rabbit R1, with reviews that called it "unreviewable." This week our guests are Jennifer Tuft and Cassandra Rosenthal, Co-CEOs and founders of Kaleidoco, whose critically acclaimed 3D AR show, Particle Ink, is now in residence at the Luxor in Las Vegas.

This Week In XR April 19th, 2024
The hosts are all over Meta's release of the new MetaAI with Llama 3, now integrated across all of Meta's brands, and totally free, bringing an exceptional multimodal (does images with short animation) to nearly 4 B users. That's half the planet. Adobe is upgrading its Premiere editing suite, adding Sora for B roll, in-painting (for removing or adding images from shots), and shot extension, which adds frames to the beginning and end of shots. No guest this week, so we filled the last fifteen minutes of a relatively short show talking about Gabe Newell's BCI startup, Starfish, which is just out of stealth, and the shutdown of the enterprise VR collaboration platform Glue.
