This Week In XR October 4th, 2024 ft. Anthony Batt and Neville Spiteri, Co-Founders, Wevr

Ted and Charlie welcome Antony Batt, Neville Spiteri, co-founders of Wevr, creators of "The Blu," one of the first experiences created for the HTC Vive in 2016. Rony is off for the holiday (Happy New Year to those who celebrate). In the news, Future Trash, an LA creative studio, scores $5M to make experiences for Fortnite. Runware AI Raises $3M for super fast AI image generation. Infinite Realty buys Super League. Antony and Neville give a VR history lesson as they are also genuine VR OGs, having survived not one but two "VR winters." Today Wevr is thriving, and more focused on location-based VR. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
