“Like many of us, my obsession with XR technology began through science fiction movies and TV shows. What I saw was the potential of how virtual environments could change the classroom, change the way we approached learning and training. To me XR technology is the ultimate tool for engagement with people. We can bring training to a completely different level that isn’t possible through traditional training methods.”
We are thrilled to have Bobby Carlton help lead our VRARA Training Committee. Join us this week for our Online Meets, check schedule here
Bobby has dedicated his professional career to exploring how XR technology can be used to reshape how an industry could approach education, training, and engagement, as well as the impact the technology will have on Industry 4.0 such as automation, warehouse, and robotics.
His work also explores how immersive technology such as unique XR initiatives and Web3 will change digital marketing and company branding, and how it will change social behavior and consumerism by creating more agile thinking that leads to brand loyalty.
In 2016, Bobby joined the Masie Center working with e-learning pioneer Elliott Masie as the Masie Center's Director of VRLearn, a program focused on how industries and companies could use AR/VR technology for training. Carlton left the organization in 2017 to consult with other organizations on their AR/VR training goals however, staying on as the AR/VR subject matter expert for the Masie Center.
Along with his current duties at FS Studio as their XR/VR Content Manager and Head of Business Development, he is also a regular contributing writer for VRScout, is on the SXSW XR Pitch Advisory Board, a judge for the AIXR VR Awards, and makes frequent appearances on the UK’s TalkTV and TalkRadio as their tech expert.
