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.
