I am woman Emmy Meli

One Iteration of an Ambient looping track I made for a final game studio project. I may upload a few more from the Trace Project.

Dark Ambiance V.2

Found this early version of Unwound on my drive before the vocal mix. Thought it was interesting.

This time we're joined by Tom Furness, the "grandfather" of VR. We begin our journey in the early days of space exploration amid a growing international arms race and the path which led him to create the first virtual interface for pilots. During our conversation, we explore how his experiences guided him in his lifelong mission to build a healthy foundation for the growth of XR into the future.
You can find out more about Tom's latest endeavors or support his non-profit Virtual World Society(https://www.virtualworldsociety.org/) by signing up as an annual member or getting involved directly to help out.

Reality Quest Ep2 | The Overview Effect with Tom Furness

This week, we pick up some of our threads from previous episodes on social VR, augmented reality, and the Metaverse. Gwyn Leece is our guide through the composition of virtual worlds seen through a Hololens and experienced from within a VR headset in Rec Room.

Some of our previous episodes have covered more on the social interplay and experience of social platforms like AltSpace and RecRoom, but this time we dig a bit more into the composition and engineering of these platforms. Together we meander into everything from early childhood and video game culture to building worlds and cultivating virtual economies. Gwyn's broad experience in the design and development of interactive experiences across multiple types of immersive platforms brings a wealth of perspective and knowledge to the roundtable. 

It was so much fun sharing an evening conversation with Gwyn, and hopefully won't be her last appearance on the show. We hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did.

If you want to hear more from Gwyn, you can follow her on Twitter @gwymff (https://twitter.com/gwymff).

Reality Quest Ep9 | Forging Worlds with Gwyn Leece

Welcome back, spelunkers! This week is a real milestone for us, as we've now certainly passed the first year mark from the inception of Reality Quest as a shared collaboration. We both feel this episode is our most genuinely unadulterated Jay & Kelly conversation space yet. From the beginning of this endeavor, we strove to reach a comfortable recording headspace which could bring the listener as close to the dinner table as is possible, and this might be the closest to the real deal.
With a few tangents as is natural, the premise of this conversation began with a question: 

What is the value of XR?

We immediately had to dive deeper to find the roots of that inquiry. Why should it become widespread? What benefit does it have over other mediums for experience, and where does it differ? How should we be communicating that value to people outside of this nascent industry?

We ended up starting from a clean slate, laying out some common language, and set upon the task of breaking it down piece by piece. We began forming a mental model of XR & content, then attempted to define some of the basic components of Storytelling & Gameplay. Ultimately, our stack of questions grew far higher than we started with, but with the modest reward of new lenses through which to examine XR and stories in general. 

The riddle is by no means solved in the end, but we'll continue this examination in future #ToTs episodes and with more guests to come. 
So sit back and enjoy a glass with us. Thanks for listening!

Ep12 | Thoughts On Thoughts - What is the Value of XR?

DJ AMP - Just Chill Out Vol. 1

Two curious humans embark on a journey to explore the wild west that is Immersive Technology (otherwise known as the XR industry). Through virtual, augmented, mixed reality and more, these technologies are transforming the human experience.
Where did it all begin? How far have we come, and how will we tackle the many challenges ahead? 
We are on a mission to better understand the technology, research, theories, and humans behind this fascinating and world-changing industry.  We'll talk with people from many walks of life who are helping shape our collective future and explore this emerging reality together. 
Through deep conversations with these pioneers, we hope to inspire innovation and spread awareness and education so that we may build a more enlightened and equitable future.
