Ted and Charlie welcome Antony Batt, Neville Spiteri, co-founders of Wevr, creators of "The Blu," one of the first experiences created for the HTC Vive in 2016. Rony is off for the holiday (Happy New Year to those who celebrate). In the news, Future Trash, an LA creative studio, scores $5M to make experiences for Fortnite. Runware AI Raises $3M for super fast AI image generation. Infinite Realty buys Super League. Antony and Neville give a VR history lesson as they are also genuine VR OGs, having survived not one but two "VR winters." Today Wevr is thriving, and more focused on location-based VR.  Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar! Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

Hosted by Charlie Fink, with regular voices like Ted Schilowitz and Rony Abovitz, The AI XR Podcast goes beyond the headlines to explore the human stories shaping artificial intelligence and extended reality. This isn't a series of dry tech lectures. Instead, you'll hear unfiltered conversations with the people who were actually in the room-founders of pioneering companies, former executives from giants like Google DeepMind and Meta Reality Labs, and the creative minds behind tools like Unity and Apple Vision Pro. Each episode feels like a candid discussion, pulling back the curtain on how these technologies are built, the real business challenges faced, and their unexpected impacts on entertainment and industry. The podcast thrives on access, featuring interviews with startup CEOs navigating the current landscape, researchers pushing the boundaries of AI, and Hollywood directors applying these tools in new ways. It’s a direct line to the veterans and visionaries defining our digital future. For anyone curious about the convergence of virtual worlds and intelligent machines, this is an essential listen, offering context and clarity from those who have helped build it all. Charlie Fink Productions brings these nuanced talks to life, making complex topics relatable and deeply engaging.
