“The future is ours to make,” Tim Bates offered as he leaned across the shaded corner we were sharing at AWE 2022, in Santa Clara, CA. This is how so many spirited conversations happen at the XR industry’s longest running showcase—proximity to big thinkers and big ideas encourages open dialog and shared exploration of themes and challenges in the metaverse.
For the Lenovo CTO - Advanced Technology Vertical, the metaverse is an integration between data, experience, and the physical world‚ not just some high-pixel utopia of face-worn computing.
As a technology leader and futurist, Tim keeps a close eye on the ever-evolving ecosystem of component parts, systems, and infrastructure, which he sees slowly iterating toward a future of spatial computing that we can use to benefit every-day live—that also must protect the data and safety for all.
Listen in to the conversation to hear more about the challenges of metaverse security and how AI, Quantum Computing, and enhanced graphics rendering impact come together in Tim’s view of the future for computing and communication.
