Dream Machines: Spatial Computing + AI
with Evan Helda
Dream Machines is a podcast & newsletter exploring spatial computing, AI, and how these tools can make us more human, not less.
This convergence is about to collapse the boundary between imagination and reality, unlocking human potential in ways we can barely imagine.
But it's also going to challenge everything we know about the human experience—about the self, identity, presence, and connection.
Which is why Dream Machines isn’t just about where technology is going—it's about where it’s taking us....
Dream Machines is hosted by Evan Helda: a writer and technologist who has been at the forefront of immersive tech (AR, VR, 3D) for the past 9 years. He's currently a business development leader for Spatial Computing at AWS (Amazon Web Services), driving go-to-market and product strategy for all things immersive tech.
If you're interested new tech like the Apple Vision Pro or ChatGPT, or in interviews with exciting guests like Matthew Ball (author of 'The Metaverse'), Todd Kaplan (Curiosity expert and author of 'Curious?'), or Vince Kadlubek (co-founder of Meow Wolf), then you're in the right place! www.dreammachines.ai
