VMware and enterprise spatial computing.
First, a disclaimer. Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble works at VMware on the conference team, so a good deal of our income now comes from VMware. That isn't why I did this video, though, she didn't even know I was visiting two days ago to get a look at what VMware is doing with spatial computing (computing you, a robot, or a virtual being moves through, like augmented and virtual reality).
I saw that they had a huge booth about spatial computing at their latest conference and wanted to find out what was going on at VMware and why they were investing in this area.
Turns out, by talking with Matt Coppinger, director, and Alan Renouf, Sr. Product Line Manager on the xLabs/spatial computing team, which is part of the office of the CTO, I learned that VMware is seeing a sizeable market evolving. Big enterprises need help managing, securing, and running VR and AR workloads and much more is coming, once you throw robots, 3D sensors of various types, virtual beings, and autonomous cars in the mix.
At that recent conference they showed off managing VR training applications, which is why VMware was mentioned on stage yesterday at Facebook's Oculus Connect conference, and an augmented worker application, which helps a worker build motherboards for servers in a factory while wearing a Magic Leap.
One other fun fact about this video. It was my first video on my new iPhone 11 Pro Max. The clarity is dramatically better, and sound is too, not to mention the stabilization of the video (this was handheld, as I usually do). Much nicer than my two-year-old iPhone X, plus you can see me try the zoom capabilities of the three lenses on this new phone, too, during this interview. Just getting used to it, but looks good so far.
