Jack Maddalena is the co-founder of VRCraftworks.Founders of VRCraftworks, Peter and Jack were experimenting with immersive technology for years before it became a talking point in mainstream media. Their interest began when they became a part of a small online community with the likes of "parmtech" (Palmer Luckey - Founder of Oculus) and other leading figures in the field. The online community along with Peter and Jack initially wanted to buy the first VR headset from "parmtech" until a kickstarter created Oculus, now one of the top selling providers of VR headsets. From the developments in hardware Peter and Jack decided to dive in, creating VRCraftworks and haven't looked back since. The first application the father and son duo created, Orbulus, became a hit. Orbulus was published as one of the 'Top Ten' VR apps to download. With this interest grew, with the likes of Google wanting to include our app in the launch of the Google Cardboard headset. Since then VRCraftworks has grown and so have the projects.

Today's episode features Samuel Huber, Founder of Admix.in, the first adtech platform for mixed reality, giving VR/AR/MR developers the best tools to monetize their content. Sam is also a frequent speaker at VR/AR/adtech conferences. Human communication has evolved from text, to photos, to videos, so I believe that the transition to immersive media is inevitable. However, the current rules of advertising don't apply within immersive media, mainly because of the intrusiveness. Admix aims to solve this problem and maximize revenue for the content creators.Admix (previously Advir.co) enables non-intrusive, programmatic product placements within the content. Think, a can of coke on a table, or a video playing on a billboard. Admix's vision is to become the largest virtual estate company by giving VR and AR developers the best tools to monetize their immersive content, whether it is through advertising, e-commerce or transactions.Samuel is also the co-president of the VRAR pledge, a commitment against intrusive ad

Technology is a neutral tool that extends humanity’s agency and will in the world. Technology can’t destroy the world. People can destroy the world.“Writing will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.” - SocratesIf the great philosopher Socrates was against the technology of writing…it’s safe to assume the latest and greatest LinkedIn influencer calling out VR, AI, IoT as a bad technology is just wrong.Social media isn’t destroying children. Social media is an extension of who we are and a reflection/multiplier of the inner plumbings in the world. People blaming technology on everything is not good, because it allows us to escape the ills of our own fault.I’m here to shed some light on an amazing new technology that will change how we exist as humans and possibly something more.“Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so w

Welcome to VU Dream's official virtual and augmented reality podcast. You are listening to Episode 1, the What, How, and Why Behind today's Virtual Reality (VR) Technology. The definition of virtual reality comes, naturally, from the definitions of both ‘virtual’ and ‘reality’. The definition of ‘virtual’ is near and reality is what we experience as human beings. So the term ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’. This could, of course, mean anything but it usually refers to a specific type of reality emulation.We know the world through our senses and perception systems.We all learned that we have five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. These are however only our most obvious sense organs. The truth is that humans have many more senses than this, such as a sense of balance for example. These other sensory inputs, plus some special processing of sensory information by our brains ensures that we have a rich flow of information from the environment to our minds.Everything that we know abo
