Voices of VR #1630: Keiichi Matsuda on Metaphors for AI Agents in XR User Experience: From Omniscient Gods to Animistic FamiliarsHere's my interview with Keiichi Matsuda, Designer and Director of Liquid City, that was conducted on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at Augmented World Expo in Long Beach, CA.

This approach has lead Matsuda to developing a system of what he calls "parabrains" that is an interface for AI agents...

National Parks Traveler Podcast National Parks Traveler Podcast | Parks as Founts of WildlifeRecently I read "The Wolverine Way", by Douglas Chadwick. It's a book from 2012 that really dives into the lives of wolverines, a small mammal with a cantankerous reputation that the US Fish and Wildlife Service late last year announced would be a threatened species. The book is a fascinating biography, if you will, of wolverines. Chadwick has an engaging writing style and Glacier National Park provides a fascinating backdrop for the story, two things that keep the story flowing. One thing that he mentions that struck me is how important Glacier National Park is for the wolverines survival. H...
