About this Episode

Blake Collier and Matt Ruff speak with Mariana Acuña Acosta about the ins and outs of VR/AR development, where the technology and the tools to develop it are at in access to the masses, and what these technological shifts mean for the greater world. We also dig into how businesses counteract and attempt to prevent bad actors from utilizing this technology for their own purposes and what role they can and should play in calls for regulation. And, finally, what does it look like to be one company amongst many in this burgeoning world of development. Acosta is an absolute delight to talk you and we think you will love this conversation.
