This Episode contains a recording of a panel I moderated at the second nextReality.Festival in Hamburg. The Festival is framing Germanys oldest XR prize, the nextReality.Contest.
Transparency annotation: Spatial Realities is a media partner of the nextReality.Festival. Although travelcosts have been covered by nextReality Hamburg e.V., my opinion and this reporting still remails independent.
The Guests: Antony Vitillo (LI →), XR Developer and owner of the famous blog „The Ghost Howls“ — one of the most popular international XR bloggers — and Jan-Keno Jansen (LI →), Editor at German c’t magazine since 2007, an XR reporter since the early Oculus days, and since 2021 host of c’t’s YouTube Channel 3003, one of the most successful tech channels in Germany.
About the Panel „Look Behind the Goggles: In XR Journalism in the Crossfire of Hype and Reality“ we discussed how reporting about XR has changed over the last ten years. Both, Jan-Keno and Antony, can tell different storys. Jen-Kenos XR-journey started when he tried one of the first prototypes meeting Palmer Luckey in the US and how he was trying to write about how it feels to be in VR. For Antony the story started with his Blog, which was originaly a marketing blog, but quickly adressed a community which was developer-heavy and craving for facts and numbers. Learn how the panelists handle the growing pressure from US-BigTech in this episode!
