A combination of VRScout team coverage and live interviews with Sundance creators, this episode is a fun time. Our intro conversation features Eric Chevalier (Co-founder) and Zeynep Abes (Community Lead) from the VRScout team, and we talk about content trends at Sundance, some of our personal favorite experiences, and how Sundance has evolved over the past few years. We then segue into 3 mini-interviews featuring Eliza McNitt (lead artist on Spheres, which just set a VR acquisition record for $1.4M), Samantha Gorman (of Tenderclaws, which exhibited tenderAR), and Jake Rubin (of HaptX, which exhibited their haptic glove that lets you feel sensation in VR).   Hosted by Malia Probst http://www.VRScout.com/podcast

René and Selena Pinnell co-founded Kaleidoscope VR as a network to support new business models for immersive art and entertainment, bringing creators and industry leaders together to develop and fund content. René comes on the show to chat about Kaleidoscope's recent industry report on emerging trends in 2018 that they predict will impact the VR entertainment industry over the next 12 to 24 months. René shares some recommendations for creators and businesses, and we discuss the four primary trends which they see influencing the industry: professionalization of funding, longer form content, Location Based Entertainment (LBE), and Augmented Reality - http://kaleidoscope.fund/ View the full report: http://bit.ly/KaleidoscopeTrends   Hosted by Malia Probst http://www.VRScout.com/podcast

This week's episode is a live panel discussion from VRScout's monthly mixer all about Social + VR, feat. guests Reggie Watts (VR/AR enthusiast & creator, currently on the Late Late Show with James Corden), Abbey Tate (Technicolor Experience Center), Aaron Lemke (TheWaveVR), Julie Young (SH//FT Spotlight), Bruce Vaughn (Dreamscape Immersive), and moderated by Malia Probst (VRScout, the WXR Venture Fund). We chat about the current (mis?)conception that "VR is isolating and AR is social,” how the panelists are integrating social aspects into their respective immersive concentrations, preventing VR chat rooms from becoming virtual trolling/griefing platforms, and what it's like to be the first comedian to do standup in VR.   Hosted by Malia Probst http://www.VRScout.com/podcast
