Working with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Jon Favreau, Nev Spiteri has created some of film and gaming's most incredible visual sequences. Now the CEO of Wevr has gone all in on building software to enable others to create their own virtual worlds — and to do so seamlessly via the cloud. The goal is to help creators spend more time creating, and less time configuring, updating, and debugging. On this episode, we dig into the unique needs that 3D world creators have, why version control is so critical to them, and how the pandemic led Wevr to move fully into cloud-based collaboration. Nev also peers into the future to share how augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, combined with the latest generation of AI, might change our world in “strange and seemingly bizarre ways”. This is Crafted from Artium: a show about great products, and the people who make them. At Artium, we help startups and enterprises build incredible products, recruit high-performing teams, and achieve the culture of craft they need to build great software long after we're gone.
