Here's my interview with Keiichi Matsuda, Designer and Director of Liquid City, that was conducted on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at Augmented World Expo in Long Beach, CA. In the introduction, I read through Matsuda's essay titled "Gods" (also uploaded here) where he explores the idea that AI should be more like pets and polytheistic and animistic familiars rather than the more monotheistic approach where there's one true AI God represented by one of Big Tech's omniscient and all-powerful AI systems. This approach has lead Matsuda to developing a system of what he calls "parabrains" that is an interface for AI agents that goes beyond the narrative scripting capabilities that he was exploring in inworld.ai with his project MeetWol that I covered previously at AWE 2023. A lot of Matsuda's ideas were also explored in the speculative fiction short film called Agents that was produced in collaboration with what was a the time Niantic Labs and is now Niantic Spatial (check out my interview with Niantic Spatial at AWE 2025 for more on how they're using Matsuda's Parabrains system). And you can also see more context in the rough transcript below. This is episode #41 of 41 of my AWE Past and Present series totaling 24.5 hours.

The training room is changing, and it's not going back. In this episode, I sat down with Phil Friedman, the founder and CEO of CGS Inc., to explore how AI, avatars, and immersive simulations are rewriting the playbook on workplace training. With over four decades at the helm of CGS—a company he built from scratch after immigrating to the US—Phil brings a perspective shaped by both technological evolution and global business experience. The heart of our conversation centered on Cicero, CGS's AI-driven platform that blends artificial intelligence with extended reality to create dynamic, real-time role-play simulations. Far from just another e-learning tool, Cicero tackles one of the biggest blind spots in workforce development today: soft skills. From objection handling in medical device sales to flight attendant training and fast-food onboarding, the platform is being used to scale training faster, cheaper, and more effectively than traditional classroom or online methods ever could. What really stood out was how Phil views this as a moment of acceleration rather than disruption. AI isn't here to replace human trainers or eliminate roles; it's a tool that can deepen learning and speed up how people acquire both interpersonal and job-specific skills. In a world where young workers are more comfortable with gaming engines than whiteboards, the immersive, responsive nature of AI-powered simulations offers a natural fit. Phil shared compelling stories from industries like healthcare, aviation, and fast food, where training time has been slashed from months to days. But more than the metrics, it's the idea that training can now adapt in real time, simulate unpredictable human behavior, and offer meaningful feedback immediately that points to where we're headed next. As AI and XR technologies converge, what will it mean when every employee can have a personalized, just-in-time coach at their fingertips?

In this episode of The AI/XR Podcast, the hosts are joined by Scott Stein, contributing editor at CNET, to discuss the evolution of XR devices and the implications of spatial computing. In the news, Disney and Universal sued Midjourney, which has just released an AI image-to-video model to its subscribers. Google's Veo 3 excels at simulating AI vlogs, so the socials have been flooded with Star Troopers, Bigfoot, and Jesus meme videos. Guest Scott Stein reflects on his experience reviewing emerging tech for the past fifteen years, starting with computers and smartphones, which led to his coverage of XR. He emphasizes the challenges of evaluating early-stage products that promise future utility but may not yet deliver on their potential. The conversation explores the tension between immersive hardware aspirations and real-world practicality and the critical role of AI in resolving this tension. Throughout the episode, Stein expresses cautious optimism, acknowledging that while the path to mainstream adoption remains unclear, the intersection of AI and XR is undeniably reshaping computing's next chapter.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

Antonella Cirigliano"Cross Festival"Tone of LightE' tornato Cross Festival - Tone of Light, tredicesima edizione organizzata da Fondazione CROSS ETS con la direzione artistica di Antonella Cirigliano. Cross Festival  è un evento internazionale di danza contemporanea e arti performative, che attraverso un accurato linguaggio multidisciplinare propone un programma di spettacoli, performance, musica e incontri che esplorano il legame tra arte, spiritualità e tecnologia.Titolo scelto per questa edizione è Tone of light ovvero tono di luce, quella dimensione immateriale e della trascendenza, che nell'arte viene spesso tradotta in spazi dalle superfici auree, un paesaggio dell'immaginario che porta in sé una profondità luminosa,un ponte tra la cultura contemporanea e l'arte antica. CROSS Festival 2025 Tone of Light ci avvicina alla bellezza di pratiche del corpo tradizionali, danze, canti e pratiche meditative che saranno di ispirazione per introdurre il pubblico alla danza e alla performance contemporanea.Per il 2025, il festival rinnova e approfondisce la progettualità  avviata nelle scorse edizioni   attorno al tema della spiritualità, sviluppando le proprie attività nella città di Verbania e nei comuni limitrofi di Bee e Ghiffa. Una ricerca che si sviluppa attraverso il coinvolgimento di artisti e artiste la cui pratica esplora le dimensioni spirituali, arricchendo il programma di incontri di approfondimento e laboratori aperti che invitano alla riflessione condivisa.Al centro della progettualità 2025 e del programma di spettacoli il desiderio di creare un dialogo vivo con le comunità locali, gli enti, i luoghi sacri e il paesaggio che rappresentano l'anima del territorio del Lago Maggiore. Numerosi gli spazi cittadini verbanesi coinvolti quali Casa Elide Ceretti nella zona di Intra, la storica villa comunale Villa Simonetta e il Teatro Il Maggiore, spazi pubblici all'aperto sia urbani che naturalistici, nonchè luoghi dedicati alla sacralità già ospiti dell'edizione 2024 come il Sacro Monte di Ghiffa e l'Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre nei boschi di Bee cui si aggiunge quest' anno la Chiesa Metodista di Intra.Dal 19 giugno al 2 luglio con la partecipazione di artisti contemporanei sul territorio nazionale e internazionale, per proporre una gamma diversificata di discipline artistiche in cui la danza interagisce con performance, installazioni, concerti e creazioni multimediali audio-video e in nuove tecnologie (XR e VR) capaci di coinvolgere un pubblico eterogeneo e dare molteplici chiavi di lettura. Tra le pratiche e temi di questa sezione del Festival troviamo i dervisci rotanti il salto della corda come ritmo collettivo incarnato, la messa in scena del carattere mistico delle valli rurali, la relazione tra corpo e roccia, la passeggiata come rituale, il giardino interiore, l'acqua, la vulnerabilità come pietra fondativa del corpo.Un omaggio all'essenza dell'acqua, fonte sacra di vita, origine di tutto e custode della memoria è proposto da Francesca Cinalli e Paolo De Santis di Tecnologia Filosofica, con la performance  Sinfonia H2O presentata giovedì 19 giugno alle ore 18 a Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre.Nella stessa giornata, al Teatro Il Maggiore di Verbania alle ore 21, Dervishes Remixed,  uno spettacolo corale che coinvolge undici danzatori e musicisti provenienti da tutta Europa e oltre, immergendo il pubblico nell'esperienza unica della danza meditativa dei dervisci rotanti con Giovanni di Cicco e il derviscio Ahmad Rifai Hambrouch.Il giorno successivo, venerdì 20 giugno, sempre Il Maggiore ospiterà nei suoi spazi tre appuntamenti, a partire dalle ore 19 con Dove vai così di fretta presentazione del nuovo libro di Lama Michel Rimpoche e  conferenza sul Buddismo nella vita quotidiana. Lama Michel Rimpoche e' guida spirituale del centro Buddista di Albagnano e ci accompagnera' in un viaggio alla riscoperta della felicità, intrecciando aneddoti personali e riflessioni profonde sul nostro vivere quotidiano.Alle ore 21 la performer Elisa Sbaragli con  Mirada, una danza multimediale e poetica che porta nuovi modi di contemplare la presenza di un corpo nello spazio, proponendo un punto di vista ultra dinamico.Chiusura della serata alle ore 21.30 nella sala Teatro del Maggiore con un'importante Anteprima Nazionale, Cani Lunari, il nuovo lavoro di Francesco Marilungo che esplora la magia come una forma di sapere alternativo, un sistema rituale che permette di attraversare l'incertezza e la paura, resistendo all'idea che la scienza positiva sia l'unico orizzonte di conoscenza possible.Il weekend di appuntamenti prosegue a Verbania sabato 21 giugno con Sirene, una performance itinerante e immersiva, guidata dalla performer Sara Vilardo e dall'artista multidisciplinare Sonja Winckelmann Thomsen, che mira a esplorare il viaggio di ritorno da una prospettiva contemporanea. Alle ore 21 Villa Simonetta ospita una prima nazionale, la performance di Francesca Foscarini, Dove cresce ciò che salva | Archivio sentimentale del movimento.Il giorno successivo, domenica 22 giugno sempre a Villa Simonetta dalle 10.30 alle 17.30 Pleasure Rocks, un workshop di movimento dedicato a esplorare una possibile relazione materica tra corpi umani e non umani. Chiude la giornata alle ore 21 la Compagnia Parini Secondo con il musicista Bienoise con la performance Hit Out, un viaggio intenso e pulsante, dove il salto della corda si trasforma in uno strumento percussivo capace di dar voce a ritmi, movimenti e riflessioni.Martedì 24 giugno con due repliche alle 17 e alle 18.30 ad Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre la performance itinerante Storia di un ruscello,  un racconto per immagini, una danza scritta per un'interprete e una pietra. Primo progetto da autrice di Erica Meucci.Mercoledì 25 giugno al Museo del Paesaggio di Verbania dalle 18 alle 20.30 a ciclo continuo l'installazione performativa e contemplativa Coming to Matter una delle evoluzioni della ricerca Pleasure Rocks, che esplora da molti anni forme di risignificazione del piacere nella relazione tra umano e altro dall'umano, uno spazio di incontro e intra-azione della materia, tra corpi umani e minerali. Alle 21 chiusura di giornata all'Atelier Casa Ceretti di Verbania con Alloro_Varietà Aurea con Francesca Cinalli, Paolo De Santis, Nunzia Tirelli (in replica anche venerdì 27)Questo spettacolo della compagnia Tecnologia Filosofica arriva al culmine di un percorso di residenza artistica in cui nello studio di forme e ombre possiamo intravvedere idoli, totem e tabernacoli che brillano nell'oscurità.Giovedì 26 (in replica anche venerdì 27) una Prima Nazionale con l'installazione performativa Garden Alchemy curata da TinDrum e Art of Listening. A partire dalle 18 e fino alle 21 un'esperienza multimediale, interattiva e tattile, un giardino costruito sulle architetture della Chiesa Metodista Evangelica di Verbania che accoglie il visitatore in un parco giochi dinamico e condiviso in cui musica, animazione dipinta a mano e installazioni immersive convivono in armonia.Venerdì 27 giugno (e sabato 28 in replica) dalle 18 alle 21 a Verbania,  Villa Simonetta, spazio tutto dedicato alle performance. Si inizia con Augmented Nature: Verbania Edition (performance ore 18 e ore 20) curata da Tom Arthurs, Isambard Khroustaliov e Britt Hatzius, un'esperienza immersiva, un'installazione-concerto che trasforma lo spazio in un angolo di intimità e introspezione.  A seguire alle 18.30 Perle Sparse - Perles fanné par tous ideata da Vashish Soobah, artista visivo.

Nell'atmosfera suggestiva del Sacro Monte di Ghiffa, un labirinto di percorsi si intreccia tra la natura selvaggia e le architetture modellate da un sapere spirituale. Qui, il movimento non ha né inizio né fine, una danza perpetua.A seguire alle ore 21 sempre nel giardino dell' Hotel Il Chiostro  Anteprima Nazionale di Irene Russolillo che presenta Fatigue, una performance corale, vocale e fisica, sull'atto di andare avanti in un percorso che evoca una scalata e una processione.

In scena 4 danzatori armeni e la composizione musicale del verbanese Edoardo Sansonne.Mercoledì 2 luglio ultima giornata di Festival con due appuntamenti all'Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre.

*Warning* Bad sound quality - apologies!In this special live edition of the AI/XR Podcast from Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2025, hosts Charlie Fink and Ted Schilowitz are joined by returning guests from Zappar, co-founders Connell Gauld (CTO) and Casper Thykier (CEO) and Auki Labs' CEO Nils Phil, to explore how AI and spatial computing are merging in real-world environments. The conversation spotlights Zapper's Mattercraft platform and its use of “accessible QR codes” to enable spatial navigation and real-time AR experiences without downloading an app. Nils introduces the idea of “collaborative machine perception” as a necessary condition for robots to navigate and work in the physical world—what he calls the “great reversal,” where AI exits the digital and enters the real. Later, XR Guild co-founder Avi Bar-Zeev joins to discuss ethics in XR, the need for community mentorship, and the importance of preserving the creator ecosystem in the age of AI scraping. The conversation closes with personal reflections on past projects like Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride, Google Earth, and HoloLens.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

How can virtual architecture expand the role of the architect?In this week's episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee talks with Ryan Scavnicky, better known as Scav, about the future of architectural education, immersive digital environments, and redefining what it means to design space. As the Assistant Professor at Marywood University and creator of its new Bachelor of Virtual Architecture (BVA) program, Scav is imagining an architectural education rooted in video games, virtual reality, live streaming, and spatial storytelling.Dubbed the “Godfather of Architecture Memes” by Architectural Digest, Scav's journey is anything but traditional. After training at the University of Cincinnati and working internationally at firms like Coop Himmelb(l)au, he pivoted to academia and new media, exploring how digital space can be as meaningful and architectural as physical buildings. He shares how Twitch streaming, immersive crit sessions, and real-time collaboration have reshaped his understanding of design and pedagogy.Evelyn and Scav explore the implications of this new degree program and what it means for the future of practice. They discuss how architecture has historically overlooked virtual space, how the profession might embrace new tools without losing its critical rigor, and how graduates of this program might expand into careers in game design, XR, storytelling, and tech, while still thinking like architects. The episode also examines the deeper cultural implications of space in games and film, and how architects can reclaim authorship in those expanding frontiers.“To me, this is still just architecture. We're reaching a new medium of space, one that lives on screens, through headsets, inside games - and we have the tools to shape that with the same intentionality and care we bring to buildings.” - Ryan ScavnickyThe episode concludes with a reflection on accessibility, immersion, and how virtual environments can be both technically and emotionally meaningful. Scav offers insight into how the profession can evolve, starting in the studio, and why it's time to take digital spatial design seriously as a legitimate architectural practice.Guest:Ryan Scavnicky (Scav) is a designer, educator, content creator, and Assistant Professor at Marywood University, where he leads the newly launched Bachelor of Virtual Architecture program. With a background spanning traditional architecture, theory, memes, and digital media, Scav is known for translating architectural thinking into new formats, including Twitch, TikTok, and game engines. His work reclaims virtual environments as spaces for critical design, connection, and immersive storytelling.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if: ✅ You're curious about the intersection of architecture and video games ✅ You're an educator thinking about how to evolve studio culture ✅ You're wondering what the future of licensure, pedagogy, or spatial experience might look like ✅ You believe architecture should expand beyond buildings and engage new mediumsWhat have you done to take action lately?

Rony and Ted welcome Angela Dunning, an attorney at Cleary Gottlieb specializing in AI and copyrights. With Charlie on vacation, they switched up the format, bringing Angela in at the top of the show, lacing news tidbits throughout. The big news this week was Google I/O, highlighting the $250/month Gemini Ultra model and the Veo 3 video generation tool, now offering voice. Rony expresses a bit of cynicism as Google once again re-re-enters XR. The conversation veers into the philosophical and legal future of machine authorship and sentience. Angela draws on her experience litigating the “monkey selfie” case to explain current copyright limitations, but notes shifting standards, including a recent case where an entirely AI-generated image was granted protection, due to extensive human control. She emphasizes the importance of human authorship, distinguishing between derivative output and directed creation.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

We are in the middle of a hype cycle peak around AI as there are a lot of hyperbolic claims being made about the capabilities and performance of large-language models (LLMs). Computational Linguist Emily M. Bender and Sociologist Alex Hanna have been writing academic papers about the limitations of LLMs, as well as some of the more pernicious aspects of benchmark culture in machine learning, as well as documenting some of the many environmental, labor, and human rights harms from both the creation and deployment of these LLMs. Their book The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want comprehensively deconstructs the many of the false promises of AI, the playbook for AI Hype, and the underlying dynamics of how AI is an automation technology designed to consolidate power. Their book unpacks so many vital parts of the Science and Technology Studies narrative around AI including: How big technology companies have been using AI as a marketing term to describe disparate technologies that have many limitations How we anthropomorphize AI tech from our concepts of intelligence How AI Boosting companies are devaluing what it means to be human in order to promote AI technology How AI Boosters and AI Doomers are two sides of the same coin of assuming that AI is all-powerful and completely inevitable How many of the harms and costs associated with the technology are often out-of-sight and out-of-mind. This book takes a critical look at these so-called AI technologies, deconstructs the language that we use as we talk about these automating technologies, breaks down the hype playbook of Big Tech, restores the relational quality of human intelligence that is often collapsed by AI. It also provides some really helpful questions to ask in order to interrogate the hyperbolic claims that we're hearing from AI boosters. We talk about all of this and more on today's episode, and I have a feeling that this is an episode that I'll be referring back to often. This is also the 100th Voices of VR podcast episode that explores the intersection of AI within the context of XR, and I expect to continue to cover how folks in the XR industry are using AI. Being in right relationship to every aspect of the economic, ethical & moral, social, labor, legal, and property rights dimensions of AI technologies is still an aspirational position. It's not impossible, but it is also not easy. But this conversation helps to frame a lot of the deeper questions that I will continue to have about AI. And Bender and Hanna also provide a lot of clues to the red flags of AI Hype, but also some of the core questions to ask that help to orient around these deeper ethical questions around AI. I've also been editing unpublished and vaulted episodes of the Voices of AI that I did with AI researchers at the International Joint Conference of Artificial Intelligence that I did back in 2016 and 2018 (as well as a couple of other conferences), and I'm hoping to relaunch the Voices of AI later this summer to look back at what researchers were saying about AI 7-9 years ago to give some important historical context that's often collapsed within the current days of AI Hype (SPOILER ALERT: this is not the first nor the last hype cycle that AI will have). I'll also be engaging within a Socratic Style Debate where I'll be mostly arguing critically against AI on the last day of AWE (Thursday, June 12th, 2:45p) after the Expo has closed down, and before the final session. So come check out a live debate with a couple of AI Boosters and an AI Doomer. Also look for an interview that I just recorded with Process Philosopher Matt Segall diving more into a Process-Relational Philosophy perspective on AI, intelligence, and consciousness coming here soon. Segall and I are going to explore an elemental approach to intelligence, which is based upon concepts that I explore in my elemental theory of presence talk. Intelligence, privacy,

On this week's episode of the Windows Central Podcast, Daniel and Zac are back to discuss what's top of mind from Build 2025 and how it compared to Google I/O.

Holography has long lived in the shadow of science fiction, but what happens when it's finally real  and ready for the consumer market? In this episode recorded at Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Darran Milne, co-founder and CEO of VividQ to unpack what sets true holography apart from the gimmicks. With a background in quantum physics and years of technical leadership, Darran cuts through the noise around immersive display technologies and explains how VividQ is building real holographic experiences — not tricks of the eye, but accurate 3D projections that replicate how we naturally see the world. Darran walks us through the technology powering their recent demo with Call of Duty, showing that VividQ's tech isn't just theoretical. It runs on today's hardware and can convert existing 3D content into holograms without access to the original source code. That changes the game for entertainment, but it's only the beginning. We explore where else this could lead: head-up displays in cars that genuinely blend digital directions into the driver's view, medical devices that eliminate the need for separate testing rooms, and even the idea of holography replacing traditional screens entirely. Darran doesn't just speculate on the future — he outlines a practical, layered rollout strategy, identifying the industries where the technology can scale first. This isn't about chasing hype. It's about thoughtful engineering and commercial execution. If your business touches gaming, automotive, spatial computing, or XR, this conversation shows why holography may be closer than you think — and how VividQ plans to put it in front of you. Could your next screen be light itself?

Picture this: you're wearing a normal-looking pair of glasses, but they give you the ability to quickly summarize a book, translate between languages or remember where you left your keys. In a live demo of unreleased technology, computer scientist Shahram Izadi unveils Google's new Android XR platform, which aims to give users the power of AI via smart glasses and headsets. He's joined onstage by two colleagues, giving a glimpse of the future of "extended reality" (XR) devices — smart, seamless and right before your eyes. Hosted on Acast.
