E20 | Interviews with VR Training and Elearning Professionals at Realities360

On June 26th and 27th, I attended the Realities360 conference in San Jose, CA, which focuses on learning and Virtual Reality. I went both as an attendee and as a presenter. The seminar I presented was an introduction to 360 Degree video publishing. I also attended some great seminars presented by really talented professionals. I learned a lot about Augmented Reality and how to create AR apps using Zappar. I was able to attend some case study seminars to learn how other companies like Hilton and Volvo are creating VR apps, plus I was able to attend some amazing keynotes. What follows are a couple of interviews at the conference. The first one is with Blaire Bohjwani from Hilton and John Carlos Lozano from Sweetrush all about how they created a VR experience to help onboard new employees at Hilton. The second interview is with the CEO of EEVO, Alejandro Dinsmore, all about their EEVO app, the current state of VR and it’s future.
