Mitch and Blake discuss the recurring industry obsession with the idea of virtual reality, beginning in the mid-1980s. Mitch recounts a story about his encounter with VPL and the weird world of digital artists and promoters in the early days of personal computing. They look at the second failed wave of VR investment in the 1990s and the importance of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. Mitch talks about how Linden Lab's Second Life anticipated many of the ideas of the modern metaverse. They then look at the Oculus, and Facebook's decade-long failure to generate momentum behind a new wave of virtual reality, and what Apple's entry into the market may mean. They conclude with a look at the idea of the metaverse and its challenges.

Panelists Georg Link | Sophia Vargas | Armstrong Foundjem Guest Emil Wåreus (https://podcast.chaoss.community/guests/emil-wareus/) Sponsor SustainOSS (https://sustainoss.org/) Show Notes [00:02:33] Emil tells us all about himself, what he does, and explains what software composition analysis is. [00:05:10] Sophia asks Emil for his perspective on open source health, measuring the quality of open source, and what it means for his customers and his platform. He mentions a great book to read as well. [00:08:52] Emil tells us what people struggle with the most in terms of what he needs to help them understand or reeducate them in what is valuable in here, and how he helps them understand why they should care about these things. [00:13:32] Emil explains how his journey started in open source and how it has evolved over time. [00:15:32] Armstrong brings up future engineering and his concern with bias and perspective of communities, and Emil goes into more detail about it. [00:20:41] We learn about a graph model of all open source that Emil is developing. [00:22:24] Sophia wonders if Emil is interested in tracking the influence of individuals in these systems and if that's something that could often muck up very systematic approaches and how he handles it. He talks about a project called Flask RESTX that he recommends. [00:27:38] Armstrong brings up the problem with maintenance which draws him to the metrics and how the social aspect of this community is a huge concern, and he wonders how Emil mitigates this aspect since an open source community deals with the socio-technical. [00:30:25] Emil walks us through his terminology. [00:35:52] Armstrong asks Emil how open he is to collaboration to make sure that we can work to view a very complex set of a model that we are presented. Sophia also shares interest in working with Emil's model within the CHAOSS project and within some of their research divisions at Google. [00:38:48] Find out where you can connect with Emil online. Value Adds (Picks) of the week [00:39:32] Georg's picks are he's getting the COVID-19 vaccine soon and a great book called, Ready Player One. [00:40:21] Sophia's pick is making homemade broth and stocks. [00:41:07] Armstrong's pick is crunching data. [00:41:30] Emil's pick is a project called Cowait, that is open source and runs on Kubernetes.

In episode 2, Ryan and Azeem decided to do something a bit different. Last week Ryan spoke a bit about how what we're doing is related to the metaverse, and as promised we wanted to deliver an in depth episode on exactly what that means because it's what we intend to build. During this episode, Ryan references quite a lot of people and quite a lot of papers, articles, etc. If you'd like to dig deeper, he's created a list of links for you to pursue at your own leisure.

We're familiar with product/market fit, but have you ever considered product/person fit? Having empathy for the end user is what differentiates the companies that design technology for the benefit of humans from those that are simply out to make a profit. So, how do we design AI, VR and AR products that promote social good—and truly change people's lives? Sean White is the Chief R&D Officer for Mozilla, the non-profit company behind the Firefox browser. Sean also serves as a visiting lecturer at Stanford University as well as a judge for the environmental category of the International Tech Awards. An entrepreneur and inventor, Sean is dedicated to leading the development of the technologies that enable creative expression, connect us to each other, and enhance our understanding of the world around us. Today, Sean joins us to share his background in academia and startups as well as his experience in the early days of mixed reality. He explains what is necessary to promote the widespread adoption of VR, how to identify your personal mission, and the value in asking questions about emerging technology through art. Listen in for insight around Mozilla's role as a ‘trusted personal agent' and learn how the company works to create product/person fit!

Philip Rosedale believes that virtual reality is a world-saving undertaking, but its current single-player use cases separate us from each other rather than bringing us together. And he is on a mission to develop the VR technology that will create shared spaces where people connect in real-time, to ‘get people in a room together.' Philip is the Co-Founder and CEO of High Fidelity, a San Francisco-based software company designing social virtual reality technology with the goal of deploying an open source, flexible platform for a variety of VR applications. Philip is best known for creating a 3D virtual civilization called Second Life as part of Linden Lab. Second Life fulfilled his lifelong dream of an open-ended, Internet-connected virtual world where users create, connect and interact with others from around the world. Philip joins us to discuss opportunities in the VR ecosystem and share his vision for shared spaces. He discusses the intersection of cryptocurrency and virtual reality, explaining how High Fidelity is using the blockchain to hold currency, store asset certificates and secure digital identity. Listen in for Philip's insight around the value of synchronous communication in VR to ‘get people in a room together' and learn how the blockchain would allow people to meet in a virtual world—without surrendering their data to a centralized repository.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Shai Reznik Joe Eames John Papa Special Guests: None In this episode of Adventures in Angular, the panel discuss the Framework Summit. This is a conference that is focused on front-end frameworks, such as Angular, React, and Ember. Frameworks are such a central piece to front-end development, and so this conference is going to be detailed towards people who are working with multiple types of frameworks or want to learn about new frameworks. One of the biggest goals of this conference is to help end framework wars and bring people from different types of frameworks together. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: What is the Framework Summit? How is this conference different from other general JavaScript conferences? Broad conference- includes many different frameworks Good amount of content on each framework What will the experience be like at the conference?

Visual artists never fail to inspire, but we went all the way to Antwerp to talk to Midge Sinnaeve. Fine… technically we Skyped Midge. Though we’d love to go there! Especially after talking to him. We talk VR, books, 3D scanning, cycling in tunnels, scifi and SyFy. Part one of our conversation is here. Midge share’s his projects and work on his site, TheMantissa.net. He likes to call this open source artwork. Our guest told us his open source artwork was inspired by an open source demo reel he saw once. Midge says many architecture visualization artists are using Unreal Engine to create building renders. Everyone agrees that augmented reality is far superior to virtual reality. Chris recently wrote about that. They briefly talk Ingress & Pokémon Go by Niantic Labs. Speaking of VR, Midge has used the Oculus and the HTC Vive. Why can’t VR gear look as comfortable as Johnny Mnemonic. Chris recommends Ready Player One to Midge. In turn, Midge suggests the The Expanse book series, which the television show is based on. Midge has been doing some photogrammetry and of course sharing the results on his site. Midge mentions Jeffrey Ian Wilson, Paul Debevec as he tells us about photogrammetry. You can sculpt 3D objects in Zbrush and then get some textures for your 3D model at not the sponsor, episcura.com. Chris offers to send Midge his yet-to-be-used, ardrino for his photogrammetry rig. There’s a very big DIY community in photogrammetry. He mentions the 3D Scanning Users Group at Facebook. We learn about Antwerp and the St. Anna Tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists. What’s Midge watching? The Expanse of course Sicario The Walk Tron: Legacy Oblivion The Wire Chris and Midge talk about the animated Tron series, Tron: Uprising. Midge loves Tron: Legacy because it is eye candy. Chris’ eye candy choice is Speed Racer. We pour out our drinks in honor of Battlestar Galactica. Midge wants to know what happens in season 3 SGU Stargate Universe, but we’ll never know. An artificial intelligence that designs websites? The Grid. Find Midge’s projects at TheMantissa.net or Instagram. Hire him at Daze.tv or chat with him on Twitter. Thanks for listening. Please find us on Facebook or Twitter and talk to us, we’re starved for attention. Thanks for listening. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon
This episode your favorite bosom buddies are conversing with developer, musician & writer Arturo Vergara about language, influential authors & thinkers, cyberpunk and the value of art criticism. We met Arturo on Cupcake.io. Interactive fiction games? Design your own using the awkward R.A.G.S. or the HTML-based Twine. Arturo encourages everyone to check out Rudy Mancuso. Learning about Mexico City. Where there hell does Halloween come from, anyway? Arturo’s pond project is for synchronizing RSS and Atom feeds. Soon to be renamed so it won’t be mistaken for the other Pond. His other project is a self-hosted email server, Postage. He was inspired to make Postage in part because of arkOS. We talk about the T.P.P. and jkillearn shot us a link in the chat channel. Here it is. Arturo suggests searching for David Lynch’s Daily Weather Report on Youtube. Paul suggests searching for George Carlin’s Hippy Dippy Weatherman. Chris chimes in with Kevin Nealon with News From 10 Feet Away. Of course, he and Arturo can’t watch that clip because of lame copyright laws. Austin Kleon presents at SXSW in 2014. What’s with that weird hinge on the Surface Book? Arturo digs the A Clockwork Orange soundtrack. Other cyberpunk movies discussed: The Matrix, Tron & Blade Runner. Some other books of note we discussed, cyberpunk & drama flavored: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Neuromancer Snowcrash The Catcher in the Rye The Perks of Being a Wallflower Ready Player One. Arturo suggests Android: Netrunner The Card Game. The bizarre history The Catcher in the Rye in pop culture. Arturo doesn’t like the notion of art critics as “nobody gets to decide what’s good and what’s bad in art.” Chris & Paul discuss ArtPrize. Arturo is a part of a reading group that discusses Heidegger and Sartre. Wine-tasting: it’s junk science. Arturo says Albert Camus was very influential to him. Thanks to Arturo for joining us at the last minute! It was a pleasure to chat with him. Be sure to check out his site, arturovm.me to find his work and where to stalk him online.
