This week the news was all about AI, music labels sue AI music generators Suno and Udio. Etched raises $120M to make AI Chips. Emergence AI scores $97.2M to make AI agents for white-collar work. We share our hot takes on Augmented World Expo, which wrapped last week. Tony, a true XR OG and an old friend, joined Rony in the AWE Hall of Fame last week. We're talking about art, music, copyrights, problems in Hollywood, and the responsibilities (or lack thereof) of American companies.

This 200th episode of "This Week in XR" is recorded with a live audience on AWE's Expo Stage on June 20, 2024. This is the 15th edition of the largest XR conference and expo in the world. We invited five guests who have never been on our show, AWE Program director Sonya Haskins, developer and blogger, Tony Vitillo, Cosmo Scharf, founder of VRLA, and Jenni Ogden, founder of Eye-Q Productions, which specializes in volumetric capture. We shared TWIXR's 2020 origin story, our views of the 15th show, our personal XR journeys, which included Sonya's touching and dramatic tale of self-discovery. We are joined midway by the very first guest, Sarah Hill, founder and CEO of Healium. She's a former broadcaster with an air of professionalism we hoped would rub off on us. Then Andrea Lowery of AWE brought us a cake! Be sure to listen to the end to hear our predictions for AWE 2028.
