Dominic Eskofier co-founded the largest unofficial community for VR (reddit.com/r/oculus), started the VR Germany meetup group and is co-founder of EUVR.org – a non-profit organization pushing the European XR industry. After co-founding the VR startup realities.io at Boost VC, an accelerator in Silicon Valley, he gathered international corporate experience at Nvidia as their Head of Virtual Reality (EMEAI). Now, as Head of Eden Europe, he develops the European business for Eden, a startup from South Africa on the convergence of XR and emerging tech. Eskofier joined us for a podcast and talked about his past in VR and the very first duct-taped Oculus Rift prototype. He does not take a doom and gloom approach to XR, but believes it’s time to move up a gear for our industry.

I ran into Dominic in an event in Amman, Jordan, that I broke into with a friend of mine. Representing Nvidia at the time as the head of Virtual Reality, Dominic went on stage with his VR Head-set with a huge screen behind him that showed us the experience he was going through. From his voice alone you could tell how passionate he was with what he was doing. As he gave his talk, he took apart the engine of a car and showed us how easy and intuitive it was to move and control things in this "Extended Reality" he was in. I ran into Dominic in a cafe outside of the event and we had an intense hour and a half discussion about reality and the future implications of virtual reality. We continue that conversation tonight on Midnight Wisdom.

In this episode of the People In XR podcast it is my pleasure to talk to Dominic Eskofier who is the Head of VR Europe (actually EMEAI) at NVIDIA. In this position Dominic is overseeing all the Virtual Reality activities at NVIDIA for these regions. Since most of our VR headsets are running on NVIDIA chips, you can imagine that Dominic has a lot of insider knowledge that he shares with us in this episode! We get to learn what exactly Dominic is doing at NVIDIA, but also how he built one of the first VR communities from scratch and got to know Palmer Luckey in person when he got to check out the Oculus DK1. I hope you enjoy this episode, it is a great one. Stay tuned, the audio will get better in the later part of the video. Now sit back, relax and dive into this episode of People In XR!
