VR Pioneer Jaron Lanier Appears in VR to Talk With Me About his Latest Book on VR -- Reserve Seats Now for the May 25th, 2PM Event in Sinespace

Click here to reserve a seat at a special virtual world event I'm very proud to co-host: Friday, May 25th at 2PM (PST), I'll be interviewing VR pioneer Jaron Lanier, widely credited with popularizing the term "virtual reality" itself, within the social VR world of Sinespace. Yes, this is a rescheduled event originally planned for April; Jaron very generously made himself available for this month instead. 

We're appearing in Sinespace as avatars before a live studio audience of fellow avatars in the Delphi region, talking about Lanier's latest book, Dawn of the New Everything: A Journey Through Virtual Reality. Suitably, by his request, Jaron's avatar will be a octopus, a recurring symbol and reference point throughout his work. Being Jaron, of course, this particular octopus has long dreadlocks.

Spanning three decades of visionary work in VR, starting with his founding of VPL Research, the first company to sell VR goggles and gloves, Jaron's book tells a story of virtual worlds as only he could. We'll discuss that, Jaron’s work as Interdisciplinary Scientist at Microsoft, and his thoughts on the latest generation of VR technology and social platforms.

In-person attendance is limited, so reserve a seat soon: Click here to request a space. Sinespace is accessible via Oculus, Vive, Windows Mixed Reality, along with Mac, Windows, and Linux desktop clients. A live video stream of the event will also be broadcast on YouTube during showtime.
