Kent Bye, host of ‘Voices of VR’, interviews OSSIC CEO Jason Riggs about the company’s new “immersive audio” headphones, the OSSIC X, and the device’s role in the future of music production. These headphones are able to customize to your anatomy and dynamically calibrate to your ears for uncanny, out-of-body experiences that complement the feeling of VR games. And as part of Abbey Road Studios’ Red Incubator, the company is looking to impact the music industry with an “audio sandbox” that allows listeners to interact with and mix musical objects in a 360-degree environment. One you finish the episode, be sure to learn more in Voices of VR’s article about OSSIC.

In this episode of ‘The Real Virtual Show’, host Malia Probst interviews Steve Lukas of Qualcomm Ventures. Though the parent company is not having the best start to 2017, Steve shares valuable insight into the private equity world’s view of VR and AR ventures, and he shares how he personally evaluates VR start-ups with free advice on the pitch process for any founders who are listening. Malia and Steve also discuss where they think 2016 will fall in the history of VR, and though statically household awareness of VR in the U.S. is low, these two see a bright future for those in the industry who stay smart and play their cards right.
