The intersection of XR and Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic, and this is the start of a 17-part Voices of VR podcast series where I've interviewed different immersive artists and XR developers over the past four months about how they're integrating AI into their workflow in creating virtual and augmented reality projects.

I'm starting the series off with Evo Heyning, how has done a deep dive into dozens of generative AI programs, and she wrote an entire book called Promptcraft: Guidebook for Generative Media in Creative Work that explores our relationship to generative media. I had a chance to talk to her about her book at AWE where we talk about her journey into generative AI, her world in virtual worlds and the Open Metaverse Interoperability Group, and her various projects that live at the intersection of immersive media and AI.

Here is a list of the 17 episodes in this series on the intersection of XR and AI:
