Barriers to Entry

This week, Bobby and Andrew get into their flow state with an enlightening conversation about the intersection of technology and creativity with Magic Leap’s Joel Krieger. In a conversation that ranges from the benefits of stretching outside of your comfort zone, to the differences of the impacts of AR and VR in a creative process, to leaving the world a better place than we found it, we go deep with a pro who’s been on the bleeding edge of designing experiences across the physical and digital world since before the creator of the term ‘phygital’ coined their first portmanteau. Ok, we can’t verify that last statement, but you won’t want to miss this one.

Launch and learn In our third in a series of pods recorded live at NeoCon 2024, Andrew and Bobby actually don’t outnumber the guest as they’re joined by both Annie Ming of HBF and Cosmo Kramer of Bitreel to talk about how visualization technology is helping HBF re-imagine how to launch their latest product line, the Firma Collection. The conversation dives deeply into the journey of both sales reps and designers to trace how this pair collaborated to define a new way to introduce and hopefully endear a product to its core audiences. Along the way, we steam up the NeoCon Podcast Studio with five bodies, over-plug SANDOW (just a little) and of course have a word or two on the state of ‘the metaverse’ in the worlds of furniture and design.

This week, Bobby and Andrew welcome a leader who’s obsessed with the intersection of architecture and technology and the evolution of the practice as a whole.  The founder of established firm, ICRAVE and more recently co-founder of innovative customer experience firm, Journey, Lionel Ohayon joins to share some powerful ideas on how everything is shifting.  Discussing everything how digital twinning can become the backbone of an architectural practice, to how talent needs to solve for ‘why’, to AI’s emerging role and even why he’s called his firm a “fish dog”, it’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Technology meets sustainability This week, we’re back at the NeoCon SURROUND podcast studio with friend of the pod and two-time guest, Karli Slocum for the second of our 3part (see what we did there?) NeoCon ‘live’ broadcast specials. Bobby and Andrew hear an update from Karli on a range of exciting processes that 3form is implementing to make production more sustainable and how they’re pushing the conversation through both innovation as well as education. As Bobby points out, Sesame Street can be a great place to start in understanding the exciting advancements happening in the space, so you won’t need to be a full-fledged scientist to tune in and enjoy.
