Warning: pragmatism! In this podcast, I am given a tour of the Rainfall offices by my friend, VR/AR Director of Rainfall, Keith Mellingen.

We take a look at some of them and discuss the value that VR is bringing to the market right now, as well as discussing the medium in general.

In this episode of VR & Philosophy, I meet up in a trashy futuristic bar with indie developer / VR youtube Lucas Rizzotto. Lucas is known for having created Where Thoughts Go, an application offering social- and emotional connection (link below)). In this video, however, we also discuss his newest YouTube project, the channel "Lucas Builds the Future" (link below) and his first episode detailing his development of a Personal Time Machine.

We also have a brief celebrity guest appearance of Kent Bye behind the VoicesofVR podcast, discussing the sometimes challenging privacy settings in the MOR.

In this podcast, I meet up with Fabien Benetou in his own VR wiki, where he stores and works with the information of his life. We discuss VR Memory Palaces, Mozilla Hubs and how we can extend our minds into the virtual. Is there a possibility to port the whole of Wikipedia into VR, and go exploring the information visuo-spatially?

In this episode, we meet an anonymous Reddit user who frequents the subreddit: RiftIntoTheMind.
