OPENING KEYNOTE: Why the Metaverse Matters to Hollywood
Our Keynote brings his unique perspective on the metaverse to set the stage for this unique industry event. As the futurist in residence, Ted focuses on leading edge technologies that will integrate across ViacomCBS on both a creative and operational level. He’s spent the last few years studying how virtual and augmented reality will transform the story-telling experience and also drive new conversations with executives charged with aligning the creative’s vision with the latest tools and technologies to create amazing content and distributing it around the world. He comes to the MESAverse, as an avatar, in a candid conversation about our industry’s adoption of VR/AR and mixed reality.
