Podcast Welcome: Finding our way back to why we started, (without the hype!)
In this series, former PM and industry insider Clorama Dorvilias (that's me!) explores the growing tension inside the tech industry and the widening gap as enthusiasts begin questioning their role, their return on investment, and their place in the ever-shifting promises of XR and emerging tech.
From “prototype-as-product” launches to bewildering “standout features,” to disappearing partnerships and constantly deprecated SDKs… Its safe to say that a ten-year journey toward “the next biggest platform after mobile” has left consumer enthusiasts, investors, entrepreneurs, and developers all asking the same question:
Who is this actually for?
2026 is bringing a wave of new XR devices from both big and small players alike. And yet, despite constant user feedback, community discussions, and access to unprecedented amounts of data, many of these products still seem to puzzle enthusiasts, miss the mark or arrive on shaky footing.
So with billions in resources, huge AAA partnerships and Blockbuster IPs, and access to more real world user data than any other companies in the world…
What is big tech still getting wrong?
Join us for this 6-episode series as we unpack the latest XR releases and examine the thinking, incentives, and strategies that may be steering the industry away from the very people who once believed in it most.
