XReality Podcast #58: AI Film, games, and XR with Eric OldrinEric Oldrin and I talk about where filmmaking, XR, and generative AI are headed — and wow, the future is bright and wild. Eric’s career—from filmmaking to Macromedia to Meta—has one constant: storytelling as human connection. We talked about how 360 films spark empathy, how generative AI needs strong creative direction, and why the human touch still matters more than ever. We also dove into: AI in education: Use it for ideation, but keep students grounded in original thinking.AR & wearables: Huge opportunities ahead, especially in audio storytelling.Algorithms & Gen Z: Tech is shaping political identity more than we admit.AI tools for creators: The real power is in clarity, planning, and strong prompts — the skills senior devs already have.Eric’s advice to young filmmakers and XR creators?
