Our guest on today’s show is Andy Maggio of D6VR. That’s VR as in virtual reality. The D6 stands for 6 dimensions, and Andy will explain what that means. We’ve all heard the term virtual reality for years, but usually in science fiction, or more recently for serious gamers who want immersive experiences. But VR is maturing and is now being used for serious commercial purposes too. D6VR’s product is actually intended for data analysis, a far cry from the world flying or dinosaur fighting or roller-coaster riding you may otherwise associate with VR. Andy explains why and how VR can be powerful for business applications and collaborations. Moreover, D6VR the company is also part of a novel startup venture called the Glimpse Group, and you’ll hear a little about that today – it’s a clever way to spread investment bets within one sector, but also kind of an incubator. As you can imagine, Andy’s pretty bullish on where VR is going and what it means for the future of work, he talks about how quickly the tech has advanced in recent years, and where he thinks it’s going, and he talks about the confluence of different technologies that are involved. And Marco does NOT talk about Star Trek’s holodeck.
Here's a video that gives a small taste of the D6VR experience, and here's another. Andy also provided us a video of D6VR used to analyze the US inflation rate, which is of course right in the sweet spot for M4Edge.
