Lance Powell
As Head of Product at Remio, Lance is exploring the potential for interpersonal engagement through VR from highly coordinated enterprise events to group hangouts. Lance's entry into XR began in the context of education and a curiosity about its effect on human behavior, ranging from meaningful connection to the persistent problem of virtual harassment. In this vein, he leveraged the emerging ecosystem of XR labs to study this phenomena, resulting in a foundational Master's thesis on the problem of harassment. Post-education, Lance worked on deployment of immersive hardware and developing custom VR apps for schools until finally working on the experiences on virtual platforms directly with Remio.
