This week I am joined by Shelby Vecchio, the XR designer at the Futurus and art director at Amebous Labs, a XR start-up here at Atlanta, GA.During our last episode, Curt Godwin talked about the impact of XR in the classroom but the lack of content for it to be a viable solution at the moment. So I reached out to Shelby to pick her brain as she and Futurus are content creators in the world of XR. We talk about AR/VRFuturus' antibullying campaign for middle schoolsCreating content for classroomsHope you enjoy this episode!P.S. Couple of disclaimers, Shelby mentions Hololens is rather affordable, but she wanted me to point out that it is still a bit expensive ($3500), but Microsoft also offers a subscription plan for $125/month. Also, she wanted to mention that Facebook acquired Oculus few years ago so they're requiring Facebook login "to be more facebook-obvious".
