This Week In XR 2-10-2023 ft. Jon Karafin, CEO of Light Field Lab

This week we're talking about real Holograms, Realwear's $375M SPAC, and $50M new financing for Light Field Lab, whose CEO Jon Karafin is our guest. Mawari and Looking Glass also raised money this week. More layoffs hit the depleted mixed reality group Microsoft. Rony says he thinks XR is doing a big exhale. Karafin's Light Field Lab means Holograms, and Rony knows a lot about this topic, too. Ted is scouting new tech for the six new theme parks Paramount Global, and is planning a trip to San Jose to see LightField Holograms in the Lab, too.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
