The Closed Beta Project

Shelby Vecchio on what is XR and its impact on education


Listen Later

This week I am joined by Shelby Vecchio, the XR designer at the Futurus and art director at Amebous Labs, a XR start-up here at Atlanta, GA.

During our last episode, Curt Godwin talked about the impact of XR in the classroom but the lack of content for it to be a viable solution at the moment. So I reached out to Shelby to pick her brain as she and Futurus are content creators in the world of XR. 

We talk about 

  • AR/VR
  • Futurus' antibullying campaign for middle schools
  • Creating content for classrooms

Hope you enjoy this episode!

P.S. Couple of disclaimers, Shelby mentions Hololens is rather affordable, but she wanted me to point out that it is still a bit expensive ($3500), but Microsoft also offers a subscription plan for $125/month. 

Also, she wanted to mention that Facebook acquired Oculus few years ago so they're requiring Facebook login "to be more facebook-obvious".
