Jesse Damiani, CEO of Galatea and editor-at-large for VRScout, will discuss the future of VR in both industry and art—how the technology itself is evolving, how the ways we use it are evolving and how its evolution is changing our culture in ways large and small. He will ask us to consider how innovators are integrating emerging technologies (particularly AI, XR, cryptocurrency, blockchain, bioengineering and nanotechnology) in ways that will profoundly change what is possible in American life. Damiani is connected to Boost, a San Francisco incubator where some of the top innovators in emerging technology live and work.
