On today’s episode, we’re flipping the script. This time I’m in the hot seat, interviewed by David Mattin on Real Vision’s new segment ‘The Exponential Age’.

You can check out their show/channel via this link here. (I have a few other interviews with them coming down the pipe, so stay tuned!)

We cover a range of topics under the spatial computing umbrella, including:

Why the metaverse needs a reckoning, and how it should be defined (per my essay: How to Defend the Metaverse)
The key unlocks for spatial computing to go mainstream
How enterprises need to prepare for a ‘spatial first’ future
How to communicate the value of spatial computing internally at your business
The primary intersections between AI & spatial computing
How/why humanoid robotics = spatial computing
The long term implications of humanoids (per my essay: The Humanoid Race)

How to Defend the Metaverse

Evan Helda

April 17, 2023

The metaverse needs a reckoning. Like the term itself, the space feels shrouded in ambiguity, garnering far more questions than answers. Amidst the fog, sentiment is low, the skeptics are out in full force, and the enthusiast’s faith is fading. A classic trough of disillusionment.

The Humanoid Race | Part I

Evan Helda

November 4, 2023

This is a deep dive into one of the more fascinating frontiers in technology: humanoid robotics; the ultimate marriage of AI and spatial computing (aka: any computation that fuses the digital world with the physical, accounting for 3D space, location, and time).

Medium Energy

Medium Energy explores technology, being human, and how to find the right balance between the two. It has three key themes:

(1) Exponential Technology: the convergence of spatial computing (AR/VR), blockchain (web3), and artificial intelligence (AI); a trifecta that is reshaping the internet and the world.

(2) Being human: the habits, tactics, and mindsets needed to thrive during a time of dramatic change due to exponential tech.

(3) Tech + Being Human: all the wonders that come from 'Medium Energy', aka: a state of harmony between exponential technology and the human experience.
