The Next Generation of Spatial Computing: AI's Role in the Evolution of XR with Sven Bruner

Despite what skeptics may say, XR Tech, better known as spatial computing, isn't going anywhere. This week, I'm talking with Sven Brunner of Sphere to explore the transformative impact artificial intelligence (AI) is having on extended reality (XR). We'll be discussing how AI can address XR's content challenges by providing greater context and enhancing user experiences. We'll also connect the dots on where XR fits in the future of work and how it can create new opportunities and efficiencies. Show Notes: In the episode, Christopher explores the intersection of Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). With insights from Sven Bruner of Sphere, the discussion explores how XR and AI work together to address each other's challenges, offering enhancements in manufacturing and healthcare, among other fields. It covers the historical context of technology replacing older jobs while creating new opportunities, emphasizing the importance of adapting to technological advancements with optimism. The conversation also highlights the significance of regulatory measures for AI, the dynamic changes in employment due to technological progress, and the potential for these technologies to transcend traditional limitations, making way for unprecedented possibilities. 00:00 - Introduction 01:16 - Sven Bruner: A Journey from Switzerland to Silicon Valley 04:43 - The Evolution of XR: From HoloLens to Spatial Computing 11:53 - From ChatGPT to Purpose-Driven Technology 29:07 - Integrating AI with XR for Real-World Solutions 33:25 - Addressing the Fear of Job Loss with AI Integration 36:30 - The Global Challenge of Skilled Technician Shortages 41:05 - Crossing Language and Cultural Barriers with AI 44:38 - AI and XR Creating New Opportunities 48:23 - The Role of AI in Training and Knowledge Transfer 56:47 - AI and XR: A Synergy Solving Each Other's Limitations 01:00:18 - Embracing Technological Advancements for a Better Future #ai #spacialcomputing #xr #futureofwork #skills
