I had a chance to catch up with Jeri Ellsworth, co-founder and CEO of Tilt Five again at Augmented World Expo 2023. Be sure to catch my previous conversation in episode #1021 where she gives her full epic backstory in inventing Tilt Five at Valve, getting fire, and eventually being able to re-acquire the IP rights against all odds. At the time of this recording, Tilt Five had been shipping for six months, and I get a bit of an update for how their launch has been going, and their various efforts to promote a physical face-to-face use case for tabletop AR gaming.

Ellsworth also shared with me how she used ChatGPT in order to rapidly prototype an AR demo for Tilt Five that they were showing at AWE. She's emphasizes the benefits of being able to quickly discover the fun within AR interactions, and how ChatGPT has been revolutionizing her own rapid prototyping processes by feeding in the Tilt Five API code as an input prompt, and then asking it how a senior Unity developer would go about solving how to visualize a specific data set of live satellite data.
