We talk with Jennifer Rundell, COO of Positron, the company behind the Voyager chair -- the world’s first full-motion chair for premium cinematic VR content. Jennifer talks about some of their content partnerships like Universal Studios and IMAX, and how Positron is making their interactive haptic-enabled motion chair commercially viable. We talk about the future of theater, how Positron is strategically tapping into the location-based entertainment market, and why adding motion and haptics to VR experiences can drastically reduce reported nausea by tricking the vestibular system. Jennifer also illustrates how immersive directors can think of motion as another input and tool to direct audience attention -- http://www.gopositron.com/ Join us: http://www.realvirtualshow.com  *Big thanks to John K.

This week’s episode features Michael Koperwas, Mixed Reality Supervisor at Lucasfilm’s ILMxLAB.

We also dig into motion capture technology in general, image based motion capture in particular, and how ILMxLAB helped Rogue One with pre-visualization tools using CAVEs.

We talk about voice as input for immersive technologies, the necessity of multi-modal input modalities for the VR/AR future, and why social sharing integrations are important now - http://www.moatboat.com/ Join us: http://www.realvirtualshow.com  *Big thanks to John K.

We chat with @MattMiesnieks, partner at @Super_Ventures, all about augmented reality, investing, and some of the VR/AR companies in their portfolio. Matt has a deep background in AR, including creating the first mixed reality platform for iOS with Dekko and leading AR product R&D; at Samsung. From this rich experience, Matt offers insight into how huge companies’ AR announcements (namely Facebook’s Camera Effects platform and Apple’s ARKit) have fueled development, education, and interest in the technology. Matt also gives some great advice to founders seeking funding, elaborates on why Super Ventures funded specific companies in their portfolio (Nitero, CognitiveVR, Massless, and Forcite), and why he doesn’t want an AR cycling headset - http://www.superventures.com/ Join us: http://www.realvirtualshow.com  *Big thanks to John K.
