Hello, fellow gamers and welcome to the video gamers podcast.

Movies like The Matrix and Ready Player One have long promised full immersive virtual reality. And although there have been some

great advances in technology, we still seem to be far away from the greater population adopting

the use of VR and mixed reality. Today we are going to talk to a company who is looking to bridge

that gap and get us all closer to the next level of human, machine, interface, and game.

But first, some introductions are in order.

I am your host, John, and joining me today, we have a veteran entrepreneur, Bobby Voikou,

which I hopefully pronounce that correctly, the driving force behind a company called MixRift,

which is Europe's most exciting

mixed reality startup. Bobby, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me, Joe. Thank you for having.

It's actually pretty exciting to talk about everything you told. Well, and it's very timely for us.

We had a little bit of preamble before the show started here, but we had

just done an episode on AI and its influence in gaming. And I feel like there's a lot of parallels

between VR and mixed reality and AI. And I'm assuming this is going to integrate somewhere

into your delivery of product as well. But right out of the gate,

Bobby, I got to ask you, why do you think VR isn't everywhere yet? Let me ask you something

else. Why do you think flying cars aren't everywhere yet? Well, I think with flying cars there's a lot of

practical considerations like infrastructure in in the airways and then also

safety you know you would have to make the product very safe to to be I mean

people are would physically be in danger what I'm trying to say is that we've had flying cars and literature for, what, 200 years

or something like that.

And we have, like, full VR in literature.
