Podcasts about headsets

Silke Schmidt leitet den XR HUB Bavaria in München – und sie war es, die die Idee für diesen Podcast hatte. Mit ihr blicken wir gemeinsam zurück auf die Entstehung des XR HUB, die Highlights der letzten Jahre und die großen Projekte von 2025, allen voran Munich Beyond. Silke erzählt ganz aktuell, welche Rolle XR auf der Gamescom gespielt hat, wieso in Spanien und Frankreich VR längst im Museum oder Fitnessstudio angekommen ist, und wie das XR-Ökosystem in Bayern, aber auch die Bedeutung von XR generell wächst – von Schulen über Mittelstand bis hin zur freien Kunstszene. Wir sprechen über Fortschritte bei Headsets wie Apple Vision Pro, die Frage nach Mainstream oder Nische und die besondere Stärke von XR in der Bildung: immersive Erlebnisse, die Lernen lebendig machen. Und natürlich über Munich Beyond, das gemeinsame Event von Festival der Zukunft, Filmfest München, XR HUB Bavaria, Residenztheater und FFF, das VR-Kunstwerke nach München gebracht hat. Mit Taiwan als Gastland. Eine Folge über die Gegenwart und Zukunft von XR – und warum die Technologie mehr ist als Spielerei.

Fehler im Online-Interview – dieser unbewusste Stolperstein kostet dich Einladungen zum Live-Gespräch. Doch die gute Nachricht ist: Mit wenigen Anpassungen löst du das schnell.   Du kennst das: Eigentlich läuft es gut, doch am Ende kommt die Absage. Häufig liegt es nicht an deinen Skills, sondern am Setup. Deshalb zeige ich dir heute, wie du den größten Fehler im Online-Interview vermeidest und sofort professioneller wirkst.   1) Zunächst: Licht first. Schlechte Ausleuchtung killt Vertrauen. Deshalb vermeidest du Gegenlicht und nutzt weiches Licht leicht seitlich von vorn. Ein kleines Ringlicht plus Schreibtischlampe reicht oft. Dadurch wirkt dein Bild ruhig, klar und kompetent.   2) Außerdem: Hintergrund ordnet Aufmerksamkeit. Keine Küchen-Spüle und kein wuseliger Coworking-Space. Stattdessen wählst du eine ruhige Wand, ein aufgeräumtes Regal oder ein neutrales Bild. Virtuelle Hintergründe funktionieren gelegentlich, jedoch lenken sie oft ab – real ist meist besser.   3) Danach: Augenhöhe & Blickkontakt. Heb den Laptop auf Augenhöhe, denn so sprichst du in die Linse statt am Monitor vorbei. Dadurch erhöhst du Präsenz und Souveränität – sofort spürbar.   4) Weiter: Technik stabilisieren. Teste Kamera, Mikro und Tools vorab; schließe unnötige Programme; verhindere Updates. Daher ist ein LAN-Kabel oder ein Hotspot als Fallback sinnvoll. Außerdem empfehle ich den Rechner statt Handy – Bildausschnitt und Bedienung sind einfach besser.   5) Wichtig: Es gibt keine „Vorgespräche“. Jedes Erstgespräch ist ein echtes Interview. Folglich gelten Dresscode, Vorbereitung und Unterlagen wie vor Ort. Du bekommst nun mal nur eine Chance für den ersten Eindruck.   6) Zudem: Bildausschnitt & Körpersprache. Sitz zentriert, Schultern sichtbar, Haltung aufrecht. Dadurch wirken deine Aussagen ruhiger. Zeige die Hände gelegentlich, denn das schafft Vertrauen und unterstreicht Kompetenz.   7) Nicht zuletzt: Audio > Video. Ton schlägt Bild, weil Verständlichkeit entscheidet. Deshalb bringt ein einfaches externes Mikro (Lavalier oder USB) sofort mehr Autorität. Dezente In-Ears sind okay, wuchtige Headsets dagegen stören. Gegen Hall helfen Teppiche und Vorhänge.   Praxis: 5-Minuten-Generalprobe. Teste Bild, Ton, Hintergrund und Screen-Sharing mit einem Freund. So reduzierst du Nervosität und sicherst Stabilität. Anschließend gehst du entspannter ins Gespräch und punktest von Beginn an.   Fazit: Der größte Fehler im Online-Interview ist nicht deine Kompetenz, sondern der Gesamteindruck deines Setups. Wenn Licht, Hintergrund, Blickkontakt, Technik und Ton sitzen, dann spielst du sofort in einer anderen Liga – und deshalb steigen deine Zusage-Chancen deutlich.

In an era where personal conversations have become increasingly public, the need for privacy solutions has never been more pressing. The phenomenon of silent calls has emerged as a response to the growing concerns surrounding privacy in public spaces. The challenges of maintaining privacy in everyday conversations and the potential for innovative technologies, like those developed by Skyted, to offer effective solutions were explored by CEO Stéphane Hersen.The Erosion of Privacy in Public SpacesStéphane opens with a striking observation: the prevalence of private conversations being conducted in public settings, such as subways, trains, and open offices. This trend is exacerbated by the rise of social media and mobile technology, which have led individuals to feel a false sense of security. As he notes, people often share intimate details of their lives without considering the potential for unintended listeners. This phenomenon raises questions about social norms and the boundaries of privacy in an age where communication is ubiquitous.For instance, imagine a CIA agent discussing sensitive strategies in a public train setting. This scenario underscores the risks associated with unguarded conversations. The idea that individuals feel insulated within their "sound bubbles" - believing that their conversations remain private simply because they are on a call - demonstrates a disconnect between perception and reality. In crowded environments, the sound from a conversation can easily permeate the air, making it accessible to anyone within earshot.The Need for Effective Privacy SolutionsGiven the challenges posed by public conversations, the development of effective privacy solutions is crucial. Skyted's approach to addressing this issue involves the use of advanced technology to create a more secure communication environment. The company's flagship product, the headset 320, is designed to enhance private conversations by isolating the speaker's voice while filtering out background noise. This innovation allows users to communicate confidentially, even in bustling public spaces.The headset employs sophisticated AI-driven microchips and specialized microphones that focus on the sound produced close to the user's mouth while simultaneously eliminating ambient noise. This technology enables individuals to speak softly, ensuring that their conversations remain confidential while still being audible to the intended recipient. By providing a means to communicate securely, Skyted is addressing a critical gap in the market for privacy solutions.The Implications of Enhanced PrivacyThe introduction of privacy solutions like Skyted's headset has broader implications for how we conduct conversations in public. As society becomes increasingly aware of the risks associated with sharing personal information in open spaces, the demand for privacy-enhancing technologies is likely to grow. These innovations can empower individuals to engage in discussions without fear of eavesdropping, fostering a culture of confidentiality that is essential in both personal and professional contexts.Moreover, the ability to maintain privacy in public conversations can have significant implications for sensitive discussions, such as negotiations, health consultations, and personal matters. The capacity to communicate securely can lead to more open and honest exchanges, ultimately benefiting relationships and professional interactions.Conclusion: Inverting the Public Communication Environment for PrivacyIn conclusion, the erosion of privacy in public conversations presents a significant challenge in today's interconnected world. The need for effective privacy solutions has never been more urgent. Innovations like the Skyted Headset 320 offer a promising approach to safeguarding personal conversations, allowing individuals to navigate public spaces without compromising their privacy. As technology continues to evolve, it is essential for creators and innovators to prioritize privacy, ensuring that individuals can communicate freely and securely in an increasingly public world.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

In a series of posts from February 8th to 11th, open source developer Matthieu Bucchianeri started making allegations that Meta's OVRPlugin is blocking non-Meta OpenXR runtimes, thereby undermining the open and interoperable spirit of OpenXR. He claims that "the OVRPlugin takes intentional precautions to exclude non-Meta platforms. This means that XR content developed with OVRPlugin will only work with Quest Link, and it will not work with any other runtime." Bucchianeri's allegation is that if a PCVR game includes Meta's OVRPlugin as their OpenXR middleware and doesn't implement the counter-blocking measures that he details, then PCVR users will only be able to use a Quest headset with Quest Link while other non-Meta headsets like "Pimax, Pico, Varjo, Vive" will be blocked, even if they have conformant OpenXR runtimes. Bucchianeri has validated these blocking counter-measures, and he says, "as proven with many applications using OVRPlugin with counter-measures enabled, these applications can run on a conformant OpenXR implementation." Not very many XR developers are willing to speak about these issues on the record, but I did manage to record a Voices of VR podcast interview with Virtual Desktop's Guy Godin who was able to independently corroborate many of the core allegations from Bucchianeri. Godin collaborated with Bucchianeri on the Virtual Desktop OpenXR (VDXR) runtime, but has also been receiving many complaints from PCVR users around Meta's OpenXR non-compliance issues, especially with games that launch both on Quest and PCVR and use Meta's OVRPlugin. Godin told me that games will work fine natively on the Quest, but any non-Quest headsets or if they aren't using Quest Link will be blocked on the PCVR version, unless the developer specifically implements anti-blocking counter-measures detailed by Bucchianeri in his technical write-up. It appears as though OpenXR conformance from the Khronos Group only pertains to the actual OpenXR runtimes on the hardware, but headset manufacturers are able to create their own SDK plug-in middleware that interfaces with OpenXR that doesn't have the same conformance requirements. It appears as though Meta is able to technically maintain their OpenXR runtime conformant status because it does not apply to their OVRPlugin middleware SDK solution, and Bucchianeri is claiming that Meta is undermining the normative standards of interoperability by not following the best practices from the Khronos Group. He says, "For the past several years, Khronos has come up with best practices and solutions to develop OpenXR applications and maximize cross-vendor and cross-platform interoperability. Khronos has asked XR developers all over the world to follow these best practices, however - Meta - the largest vendor in Khronos is refusing to follow these best practices." Bucchianeri is also claiming to have had private communications with Meta confirming that these were deliberate and intentional changes. He says, "This is not an accident: this concern was reported to Meta early in 2024 via official means in the Khronos group. Meta acknowledged purposedly blocking other platforms from running OpenXR content at that time." I was able to confirm in my discussion with Guy Godwin in this Voices of VR podcast episode that he also believes that these were deliberate and intentional changes to undermine the spirit of OpenXR. Part of why Bucchianeri was blowing the whistle is because the Khronos Group had not been taking any action against Meta. He describes Meta's actions as "reverting many of the improvements to the developers and users ecosystem that Khronos has spent time, money, energy into solving for the past 7 years." He says, "Unfortunately, since 2024, Khronos has refused to take actions to stop Meta's OVRPlugin destructive initiative towards the PCVR ecosystem. By not taking any actions to resolve the issues created by Meta's OVRPlugin, Khronos is sending the message that OpenXR is no lo...
