39: Visualizing a new future with AR/VR from Warby Parker to the Metaverse

In this episode of Innovation Storytellers, David Rose, Author of Enchanted Objects and SuperSight and CTO at Home Outside, talks about the possible applications of VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) in our everyday lives, and how they might be used to predict any long-term consequences of our short-term decisions, as well as solve large scale problems, such as climate change. David also shares his thoughts on the metaverse, and how storytelling will work with VR and AR technologies.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
