This Week In XR December 13th, 2024 ft. Russell Patton, Product Manager, Snap Spectacles

This week Charlie and Rony welcome Russell Patton, Product Manager for the Snap Spectacles AR headset. It's a news week rich with AI news from OpenAI, Google, and others. OpenAI suffered a major outage on Wednesday, which may be related, according to Rony, to the theft of weighted models from its database. We thought it was related to stress on the system from the introduction of video generator Sora. Samsung gave the press a look at their upcoming Project Moohan on which they collaborated with Google on an AR OS for Android, and Qualcomm for its new microprocessor. Rony is in his element as discuss the new Spectacles, and Snap's strategy, with Patton. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
