This is the transcript to accompany a GIIDE post. I just spent a wonderfully fun, intelligent, scintillating, and completely engaging 5 days at MIT at the “Reality Hack” hackathon as a mentor, and judge. This is part 1, where I’ll be talking about the experience and what happens in a hackathon like this. Part 2 will be about my impressions, insights and takeaways. But first, for those who aren’t familiar – a hackathon is an event that takes developers, designers, UX people, and others, and throws them together for a few days to create

Originally posted at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/future-work-virtual-linda-ricci #longpost #musing #futureofwork #XR #virtualreality When #Covid first hit, I don’t think anyone could foresee just how huge – and ultimately, permanent – its impact would be.

Doing my MBA at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, I was one of a small handful of women in a class of about 100 people. The professors’ speech defaulted to “he” and “him” for everything – I started raising my hand at every opportunity to point out the inherent “otherness” this created,

TEDx RoseTree 2019 done! What a fabulous experience – I met so many amazing people, and thoroughly enjoyed being in the middle of the vortex of ideas and creativity. My talk “How VR will supercharge grassroots movements” will be posted by TED soon, and I’ll update it here when they do. In the meantime, I’d like to thank Stacy Olkowski and her team for the herculean amount of work pulling this all together must have been. Well done! It always takes one person with a vision and a lot of persistence to get the

Note: this is the text from a Linkedin post I wrote, in response to a post by Cathy Hackl, She visited a concept store that features Alipay’s “smile to pay” facial recognition payment technology. Here’s her video where she’s discovering facial recognition payment systems in China. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6503651708290293760/ As I’ve written about before, I have some very serious reservations about facial recognition technology and how it will completely remove any semblance of privacy or anonymity. And unfortunately, it’s inevitable. What I am worried about is having our biometric data stored in so many databases, where we have
