Ready to catapult into the future? Join us as we navigate the enthralling realm of Extended Reality (XR) and Metaverse Tech with our esteemed guest, Vishal Shah, GM of XR and Metaverse at Lenovo. We're peeling back the layers of this cutting-edge technology, tracing its roots back to the simple but seismic shift of transition to color TV up to the riveting development of 3D movie experiences. We explore how the convergence of digital transformation, 3D technology, 5G, and AI is brewing a perfect storm for the surge of AR VR tech and the metaverse. Plus, we delve into how Lenovo is making it less complex for customers to harness these technologies.

Switching gears, we take a deep dive into the profound impact of technologies such as workstations, 3D tech, and AR/VR glasses on the architecture and engineering sectors. It's not just about crafting impressive 3D models; these innovations are revolutionizing worker productivity, safety, and even transforming marketing and sales strategies. We also shed light on the concept of digital twins and how companies are leveraging them to optimize operations.

In the final segment, we grapple with the complex issue of consumer versus enterprise AR VR technology. Vishal shares his insights on how to make these applications more engaging, and how a device-as-a-service strategy can mitigate initial investment risks while offering an upgrade program for the latest technology. We wrap up by considering the potential role of technology in connecting us with loved ones and its contribution to mental health. Come along and glimpse the future through a fresh lens with us!

Ever wondered what a futurist does? Well, it's not all time machines and crystal balls. Renowned futurist, best-selling author, and technologist, Theo Priestly, joins us to challenge your perception; it's less about predicting the future and more about preparing for it. He unveils his fascinating career trajectory from banking to technology and how this shift has informed his approach to futurism, emphasizing the need to ponder who bears the brunt of our technological decisions.

As our conversation progresses, we look at the compelling concept of cross-pollination of ideas between industries. Using game development as an intriguing case study, we demonstrate how data-driven insights can dramatically impact decision-making in fields as diverse as architecture, urban design, and engineering. We also explore the idea of leveraging technology to fuel both incremental growth and genuine innovation. But what does this mean for the decision-making process at the CEO level? Theo argues every choice must be dissected under the microscope of who benefits - shareholders, customers, or employees?

Finally, we dig into the complex minefield of AI ethics and data bias. Overlaying ethical data policies onto historically biased data is a task fraught with challenges; we delve deep into this topic. We also consider the role of consultants in shaping the corporate technology environment and how they navigate the introduction of new technologies and products in established companies. And just when you thought you had it all figured out, Theo introduces a paradigm-shifting idea - a device that could access the past. As we grapple with the implications of living in a 'post-truth' world, we ponder how technology could be used to access the source of truth. Join us for an engaging discourse that promises to disrupt your thinking and offer a fresh perspective on the future of technology and its ethical implications.
