This Week In XR January 26th, 2024 ft. David Weinstein, Nvidia’s Head of XR

Ted is doing his real job for Viacom today but Rony is with us, while on a ferry in Florida, en route to a secret rendezvous. In the news: Eleven Labs raising $80M for voice cloning, $6.7M for Artisse AI photo app for models and influencers, and the new Rabbit R1 a compact, toy-like $200 handheld AI "Large Action Model" that knows you and your apps. Rony says the price is so low, China must be underwriting it as part of another insidious TikTok-like scheme to steal your data. Our guest is David Weinstein, Senior Director of XR at Nvidia. He takes on a fascinating deep dive into Nvidia's XR strategy, which has four pillars: (1) photorealism, (2) AI, (3) Streaming/split rendering, and (4) collaboration, all taking place in the Omniverse, which David describes as XR's "simulation engine." Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
