The Voices of VR Podcast with Kent Bye caught up with IONS President Cassandra Vieten at our recent 17th International Conference in Oakland, CA.
Kent and Cassi talked about how the vastness of awe leads to an experience that forces you to stretch your perspectives and accommodate new information. They also talked about how IONS is starting to use virtual reality in our research, the impact on our environment and experiences in our lives, and the potential of unlocking latent human potentials through different contemplative practices and potentially mediated through technology.
