Interview with Vikas Reddy, Founder of "LightTwist"
6We're back with our first interview in two years, and the first for 2023. In this interview we had Vikas Reddy, founder of "LightTwist" to talk about his new product 'LightTwist'. A cloud based "virtual" multimedia studio, something like Zoom but WAAAAy more powerful due to its integration with the Unreal Engine 5.1, allowing for a full immersive "3D" digital studio (of your own creation) with multiple cameras, inputs and even interactive animated content.
If Vikas sounds familiar, he was the cofounder of Occipital with Jeff Powers, who I have had on the show several times over the past ten years talking about the progress of one of the first portable 3D scanners, as well as one of the very first Mixed Reality headsets - 'Bridge' using a technique called "unbounded tracking" that we now know as "inside/out tracking" that everyone is using now.

Speaking of ten years, this is the tenth anniversary year of 'All Things 3D' and even though I (Mike) have been on a hiatus from the show, I am back with more news, more "3D Tech Closet" projects and tutorials, with the first '3D in Review' episode hitting YouTube later today (1/29/2023) with more to come every Friday, including an audio only podcast you can find at https://allthings3D.net or wherever you listen to podcast soon.
