Welcome to season 5 of the award-winning .NET Core Podcast! Check that link for proof.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Simon Jackson about mixed reality, the metaverse, and what they actually mean for software developers and designers. We also discuss some of the most interesting uses of mixed reality from the last few years.

Along the way, we have a discussion on accessibility and what developers and designers should be thinking about when building their applications and experiences.

The full show notes, including links to some of the things we discussed and a full transcription of this episode, can be found at https://dotnetcore.show/episode-125-mixed-reality-the-metaverse-and-making-magic-happen-with-simon-jackson/
