In this episode, Luigi and Ravi are joined by the visionary Dr. Nikhil Jacob as we embark on a journey into the world of mixed, virtual, and augmented reality. Nikhil is a researcher in human computer interaction, iOS developer, author, and a forward thinker trying to empower creators to push the boundaries of mixed reality experiences.

We dive into Nikhil’s content creator journey in the spatial computing era, where the digital and physical realms converge. He shares his firsthand experience of navigating the spatial computing development experience, and why it represents great opportunities for the creative problem-solvers in the world. We also discuss which platform is better positioned to succeed in the mixed reality market between Apple and Meta. Finally, we discuss the nature of reality where the digital and physical world blur, future of human interaction, and which could be the killer app for this platform.
