The Alan Smithee Round Table (“Vision Pro and The impact of AI & AR Technologies”)

Welcome to the next episode of our monthly round table podcast where hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the latest news in production, post production, entertainment tech and beyond. In this first episode of the year, the team discusses the latest release of Vision Pro and the impact it might have on both the ‘fans’ and people working in post. They also consider how AI and AR technologies might help or hinder our workflow and, there’s an update on the AVID acquisition. And as always, there’s a bunch of really cool things for us post production people to get excited about.
