    Get Spatial with the XR Guild @ AWE USA 2025 Augmented World Expo, June 10th - 12th Long Beach Convention Center

    XR pioneer Avi Bar-Zeev has been at the forefront of Spatial Computing for over 30 years: from launching Disney’s groundbreaking Aladdin VR ride in the early 90s and crafting Second Life’s 3D worlds to co-founding Keyhole (Google Earth) mirror-earth spatial browser, co-inventing the Hololens AR headset in 2010 and leading the Experience Prototyping team for Apple's Vision Pro and more from 2016-19.  Bar-Zeev's so ubiquitous he's been affectionately called the Forrest Gump of XR.  On today's show, Bar-Zeev returns to the podcast and illuminates his journey through immersive tech from those early days to his latest role as Founder and President of the XR Guild, a 501c3 nonprofit, his response to the urgent need to bring more thoughtful and ethical practices into emerging platforms and AI.  The XR Guild's Ethical Professionals Mixer is sold out. Zero to Start is proud to have joined primary event sponsor LA SIGGRAPH, and XRA as a "bronze" co-sponsor. Heading to AWE USA 2025 ?
