Kent Bye is the creator and host of the Voices of VR podcast. He’s recorded more than a thousand interviews featuring the pioneering artists, storytellers, and technologists driving the resurgence of virtual & augmented reality.

Kent is a philosopher, oral historian, and experiential journalist helping to define the patterns of immersive storytelling, experiential design, and the ultimate potential of XR.

He’s speaking about the ethical & moral dilemmas of mixed reality at the 2019 AWE conference happening later this month, and he was a co-organizer of the VR Privacy Summit at Stanford University in 2018.

In this, the second part of my conversation with Kent, we get into Kent’s perspective on a question he asks all of his guests: What is the ultimate potential of VR?

In achieving that potential, Kent talks about the importance of creating a model of the human experience. And he describes how VR & AR can enable something that is more important than having access to money and resources.

Kent makes a ton of references, and I tried to capture them all in the show notes, which you can find at our website, thearshow.com.
