This Week In XR March 8th, 2024 ft. Lucas Martell, Creator of Walkabout Mini Golf on Meta Quest

Charlie is solo at SXSW while Ted and Rony are in transit. We'll be posting our Tuesday panel on the future of XR in the age of Apple Vision Pro at the end of next week. Not a big news week. The Sora freakout continues as they drop more tests on the socials. In AI, Haiper emerges from stealth with $13.5 M to take on Runway. Jabali raised $5M to use AI to prompt video games into existence. My guest is Lucas Martell, the Austin-based CEO of Mighty Coconut, producer of the hit VR game "Walkabout Mini Golf," which has released over two dozen courses, or DLCs, including one based on "Wallace and Gromit," which was announced today. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
