Working Immersive Podcast | Episode 06: Customer XR Showcase, the Metaverse and Gaussian Splatting

Описание: In Episode 6 of the Working Immersive Podcast, Christopher Fonte, CTO of Customer XR, is once again joined by Brian Colon, Lead Developer at Customer XR, for a deep dive into how immersive experiences are being designed, packaged, and delivered at scale.

The conversation centers on the Customer XR Showcase and the team’s approach to immersive tourism—specifically how 360° video and emerging techniques like Gaussian splatting are being combined to create highly realistic, accessible virtual tours. Christopher and Brian break down why these formats matter, where each excels, and how they’re being used to balance visual fidelity, performance, and real-world deployment across devices.

The episode also explores the evolving idea of the metaverse, with a focused discussion on the recent Winter Jamz concert in Horizon Worlds. Using the event as a case study, they examine what large-scale virtual events reveal about social presence, live entertainment, and the current limitations and opportunities of shared virtual spaces.

Blending technical insight with creative strategy, this episode is ideal for developers, creators, and organizations interested in immersive tourism, spatial media, and the practical realities of building experiences in today’s metaverse ecosystem.
