Virtual reality and the paradigm shift in human computer interaction with Azad Balabanian

Hello and welcome to Enter VR!

On this episode I speak with Azad Balabanian, a VR researcher at University of California at Santa Cruz. Azad and I talked about finding where the feeling of presence comes from inside the brain, lessons learned in the realm of VR user experience design, body ownership and much more!

Thanks to Azad for being a true scholar and gentleman of virtual reality and thank you for listening!
