Google's guilty of monopoly practices, but the result will be unclear for some time. Elon Musk continues to go bonkers while raking in trillions, nonetheless, he is suing people who don't like him, like former advertisers and others unhappy with the lack of moderation on their platform. Meta shuttered Echo Arena, and now they're shuttering the studio that makes it, Ready at Dawn, which they acquired in 2020. Our guest is Val Vacante, VP of Solutions Innovation for Dentsu Advertising. She is based in Austin and advises the SXSW festival on programming. Val shares Dentsu's innovative approaches to problematic categories like retail, where many companies are in desperate need of reinvention.

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back with the latest on LFC from Liverpool, and with the realisation that the next time they do a Scouser Tommies, Jurgen Klopp will have had his last game as Reds boss and every bit of output about LFC will be entitled “Auf Wiedersehen”. Last time out Liverpool beat Spurs 4-2, a convincing win – if you ignore the last twenty minutes or so – and a maybe the last ‘normal' game at Anfield for the ‘normal one'. It's all pretty academic now, but Jay and Jim were glad to see a return to using the full width of the pitch as the boss went for a nostalgic approach, making the most of the two full backs who played such a huge role In the Reds success under Klopp. Whether Trent should start in midfield, nip there during games or stick out wide as a full-back is a worry for another manager now. With Klopp's penultimate home game out of the way he's now got his penultimate game overall to come next week against Villa. Technically Villa can still lose their place in the Champions League, but Liverpool can also technically still win the league so let's be realistic – it's not exactly going to be the hardest fought game of the season at Villa Park. In the press conference ahead of that game, Klopp spoke about his regrets over not playing Harvey Elliott more, praising him for his performances over the season, whether on the wing or right midfield, maybe sensing that the youngster is finally at that point now where he's no longer to be thought of as a youngster. Something for the next boss to think about, and if LFC get Arne Slot as expected maybe young players will be given even more of a look in. The boss was also asked about the speculation about Darwin Nunez's future, speculation he knew nothing about, a reminder once again not to believe everything you read, especially when other agendas might be at play. Klopp admitted he's no longer involved in what happens to Reds players, but you know he'd know if something was planned.  If Darwin was unhappy, it wouldn't be helped by the blerts on social media who decided they could send him abuse in the comments, leaving him to delete all his recent posts relating to Liverpool FC. Abuse on social media is one thing, but you'd expect ex-players, working as pundits, to show a bit more respect to current players, rather than hurling abuse of a different kind, from the safety of retirement, acting like they believe players deliberately miss chances or misplace passes.  After the Villa game the inevitable fixture will be here, Klopp's very last match stood on the touchline as Liverpool manager, against Wolves at Anfield. Well, that's if he doesn't get a yellow card against Villa, because then he'd get a touchline ban. As Jim and Jay point out, the PGMOL have lined up a selection of their finest for that game, so maybe Klopp will have to watch from the Kop. Also coming up is a night with Klopp at the Echo Arena, or whatever it's called these days. Upwards of £37 a ticket, with a 9,000 capacity, not to mention the sales of beer and merchandise, there'll be a few quid coming out of the pockets of LFC fans that night, and as Jay and Jim discuss, it doesn't really feel like it's the right thing to do. Not yet. As always, there's something from the neighbours to raise a smile. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I dig into my interview backlog archive from April 2019 at F8 (a month before the Quest launch) to publish this conversation with Sonya Haskins, who shares her journey into VR through eSports and the Echo VR community. Haskins is a writer who published a couple of guest editorials on UploadVR starting in 2017 about how VR changed her perspective on gaming, and then a recent piece titled "Echo VR's Loss Reverberates In Reality" reacting to the shut down announcement on the previous day. On January 31, Ready at Dawn announced that "after many discussions internally and with our partners at Meta, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Echo VR." Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth explained in an Instagram AMA on February 2nd that "The user base is small. It's loyal as all get-out, but it's small. It's measured in the low 10 thousands. And unfortunately keeping things alive takes work. This is not like a return on investment money standpoint, it's just those resources could be put to other uses that I think will be useful to the now tens of millions of people who are in VR." Even though John Carmack is no long a consulting CTO for Meta, Carmack still shared some in-depth thoughts with UploadVR saying, "Even if there are only ten thousand active users, destroying that user value should be avoided if possible. Your company suffers more harm when you take away something dear to a user than you gain in benefit by providing something equally valuable to them or others. User value is my number one talking point by far, but “focus” is pretty high up there as well, and opportunity cost is a real thing." I wanted to share this archival interview that I did with Haskins in 2019 since she talks about her journey into VR through Echo VR (originally titled Echo Arena, but rebranded in 2018), reflects on what VR and eSports has meant to her, especially as she's gone on over the past 3+ years to work within the XR industry as a key community organizer and she's currently the Head of Programming for the Augmented World Expo. And the community of Echo VR players have a number of campaigns ongoing in their attempts to #SaveEchoVR. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

Esteban Ordano believes that decentralization is key to mitigating the risk that comes with digital communication, and his work uses VR to return our sense of immediacy, to recreate the personal connections that will lead to what he calls a ͚Renaissance of humanity.͛ So, what does the world look like at this intersection of virtual reality and cryptocurrency? Esteban is the founder and CTO of Decentraland, a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain where users can purchase land and build on it, limited only by their imaginations. Using a VR headset or web browser, Decentraland users become completely immersed in a 3D, interactive world where they can watch live music, shop with friends or even visit an underwater resort. Prior to Decentraland, Esteban worked as a software engineer at Google and BitPay. Today, Esteban joins us to explain how the economic chaos in Argentina inspired his interest in the cryptocurrency space. He discusses the role decentralization plays in mitigating the risk of sharing information online and the way cryptographic systems facilitate radical governance.

In Episode 46 des VRODOCAST, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual, Augmented und Mixed Reality, vergleichen wir die Vor- und Nachteile von Apples ARKit mit Googles Tango-Technologie. Augmented-Reality-Showdown: ARKit vs. Tango Mit dem ARKit stellt Apple die Augmented Reality dem Mainstream vor. Technisch betrachtet nutzt Apple dafür den kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner: Die einfache Smartphone-Kamera in aktuellen iPhones. Geht man nach den ersten YouTube-Videos und Entwicklerdemos, arbeitet das Tracking erstaunlich verlässlich. Doch wann stößt Apples AR-Lösung an seine Grenzen? Und bei welchen Anwendungsszenarien ist Googles Konkurrenzsystem Tango besser? Die Google-Technologie setzt auf ein im Vergleich deutlich teureres Spezialsystem, das aus mehreren Kameras und einem Tiefensensor besteht. Wir vergleichen die beiden Ansätze und besprechen die Vor- und Nachteile ausführlich. Mehr zu ARKit: https://vrodo.de/entwickler-zeigen-was-apples-ar-technologie-kann-update-neue-demos/ Mehr zu Tango: https://vrodo.de/visual-positioning-service-vps-google-stellt-gps-fuer-innenraeume-vor/ VR-Kamera für jedermann: Google VR180 Etwas überraschend stellte Google die neue Initiative „VR180“ vor, bei der nicht mehr in 360-, sondern nur mehr in 180-Grad gefilmt wird - dafür aber mit höherer Qualität und in stereoskopischem 3D. Google produziert die Kameras gemeinsam mit Herstellern, die ersten Geräte kommen Ende des Jahres auf den Markt. Überraschend ist diese Maßnahme, da sie zuerst wie ein Schritt zurück wird. Immerhin sind die 180-Grad-Videos deutlich näher am herkömmlichen Fernsehen als vollimmersive 360-Grad-Videos. Was hat Google also dazu bewegt, diesen Kompromiss zu wählen? Schadet das neue Format der VR-Brille oder überwiegt der Nutzen? Wir sprechen drüber. Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-google-bringt-180-grad-kameras-auf-den-markt/ Cyber-Sport der Extraklasse: Echo Arena In dem exklusiven Oculus-Rift-Spiel „Echo Arena“ treten zwei Teams aus bis zu fünf Spielern im schwerelosen Raum gegeneinander an. Das Ziel ist es, einen Diskus zu ergattern und in das Tor des gegnerischen Teams zu befördern. Podcast-Kollege Sven war beim kostenlosen Testwochenende mit von der Partie – und ist schwer begeistert.

In Ausgabe #45 des VRODOCAST widmen wir uns dem VR-Entertainment in Vergnügungsparks und dem Virtual-Reality-Sport in E-Sport-Ligen. Achterbahn mit VR-Brille In dieser Woche zeigte Sea World eine aufwendig animierte Virtual-Reality-Achterbahn - und reiht sich damit ein in zahlreiche ähnliche Projekte in Vergnügungsparks weltweit ein. Der Trick ist, dass die digitalen Bilder exakt mit den Bewegungen der Achterbahn synchronisiert sind, sodass man glaubhaft durch eine Fantasiewelt rast. Für Achterbahnbetreiber ist das eine tolle Möglichkeit, eine bereits vorhandene Achterbahn mit der VR-Brille zu erneuern und zu erweitern. Wir diskutieren ein paar Beispiele, wie VR-Technologie Vergnügungsparks besser machen kann. Vorausgesetzt die Hygiene stimmt.
