This Week in XR Podcast

Charlie and Rony give the show a go without Ted, who's traveling. Very busy news week with lots of M&A activity. We talked about CoStar Group's $1.6B acquisition of 3D scanner Matterport, Lamini AI's $25M raise for secure Enterprise AI, Neurable also raised money, Gen AI company Freepik acquired hit AI upscaler Magninfic, which is also a Spanish company. There was also news about Roblox (not good), Sandbox LBVR (very good), and behind-the-scenes with Sora director Paul Trillo, on how he created a commercial music video using OpenAI's new tool. Our guest Marta Marciszewicz walks us through how AI animation company Anything World brings characters to life instantly for the games industry. Want your player character attacked by an army of spiders? They've got you covered.
