In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and innovation, passion and curiosity often lead us down unexpected, yet thrilling paths. We are the creators behind the Lost in a Lightfield video podcast that is born in September 2024. This is our story, a journey that began with the Global XR Community and has now taken us to an exciting new venture.
Who We Are
We are Alexander Meijers and Saskia Groenewegen, two technology enthusiasts fueled by a passion for pushing the boundaries of possibility. Our paths first crossed within the dynamic Global XR Community, where we organized events that brought together innovators, creators, and enthusiasts from around the world. These gatherings fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose among our members. The Global XR Community has emerged as a beacon for those passionate about virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Through these experiences, we uncovered the immense potential of our community to forge meaningful connections and create transformative experiences.
The evolution: A New Vision
As we immersed ourselves deeper into the realm of emerging technologies, we discovered an abundance of stories and insights waiting to be shared. The swift progress in technology and the diverse range of creative applications inspired us to think beyond conventional events and community gatherings.
Lost in a Lightfield encapsulates a vision. A lightfield represents a conceptual space where light rays converge, weaving a rich tapestry of visual data. Similar to this intricate dance of light, our podcast seeks to illuminate the multifaceted world of emerging technologies and immersive experiences. We believe these innovations can transport us to new realms, challenge our perceptions, and inspire fresh ways of thinking.
We aspired to create a platform that could ignite the imagination, spark curiosity, and reach a wider audience.
