Introduction

This week Charlie and Ted are going old style - without Rony, who joined us last fall. Charlie and Rony are having a fireside at AWE next week. The news conversation includes Anthropic's $50M raise for its Claude chatbot, Meta licensing Magic Leap tech, Nreal rebrands to XReal, launches new Beam 3DOF headset and director Doug Liman launches Area 15, a mobile AR experience to the app stores.

Our guest this week is Artur Sychov, founder and CEO of Somnium Space, a SocialVR platform with a decentralized virtual economy based on blockchain with its own utility token called CUBE. The Czech company is also introducing their own VR headset called Somnium VR1 in collaboration with Vrgineers. 

Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!
