Women in Spatial

Roz McNulty, Founder and Creative Director of Fashion Innovation Centre, has spent over 30 years bringing fashion and technology together. She joins me to talk about her journey from illustrating airline uniforms on early colour graphics computers to recreating historical garments in CLO 3D, building the VR Fashion Museum, and filming contemporary ballet with Ballet BC in immersive video for Apple Vision Pro. We get into what makes immersive filmmaking a whole new craft, why some details like feathers and beading are almost impossible to simulate but come alive on camera, and how she shares her work through Immersa.

She also shares her thoughts on 3D scanning and Gaussian splats, why museums are only just beginning to embrace virtual collections, the kinds of experiences still missing from Apple Vision Pro, and the live event that made her say “this should be fashion.”

Martyna Talaga, a product designer with over 7 years across XR, MedTech, and R&D, joins me to talk about designing for headsets before there were any real guidelines to follow, starting with HoloLens 2 and now building for Apple Vision Pro. We get into her day-to-day toolkit, from Figma and Spline to spatial prototyping apps like Scenery and ShapesXR, and the technical constraints that shape good spatial UX.

She also shares her experience designing for healthcare and close out talking about Apple's first developer event in Poland, and the spatial computing experiences that keep her coming back to the headset.

Maura Axelrod, co-founder of Primary: News in Depth, joins me fresh off an Apple Design Award win to talk about bringing spatial video storytelling to the news. We cover how filming in spatial video changes the viewer's relationship to a story, including coverage of an earthquake in Venezuela.

She also shares her path from ABC News to founding a journalism app built entirely around spatial video shot on iPhone, and what's next for Primary as she looks to bring in more journalists from around the world.

Soraya Jaber, co-founder of Studio Meije, joins me just days before WWDC to share early insights from the 2026 visionOS Professionals Survey, an unfiltered look at what developers are feeling, building, and hoping for.

We discuss what it takes to thrive through more than a decade in an industry that often wasn't ready for the technology, how AI is transforming what small studios can create, and why, despite the challenges, 85% of the visionOS community remains optimistic about the platform's future.
