Neil Barbour:

Hi, my name is Neil Barbour, Industry Analyst with S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan, covering connected devices and interactive home entertainment.

I spent the last half decade following the money in video games and traveling across the country to bear witness to an emerging class of AR VR hardware.

Ian Hughes:

Hi, I'm Ian Hughes, Senior Research Analyst at 451 Research in S&P Global. I've specialized in building and covering emerging technology for the majority of my 35-year career.

I now write and present about the rise of industrial Metaverse use cases as the multibillion dollar games industry meets the multi trillion-dollar operational technology world.

Neil Barbour:

Ian and I have seen our coverage converge around the evolution of the Internet into immersive 3D virtual spaces, sometimes called the Metaverse. We've joined forces to explore the ways these technologies are playing increasingly prominent roles in the lives of consumers and employees.

You'll hear in depth conversations on everything from gaming to digital twins, and from voices deeply embedded in this market.

Ian Hughes:

I would also add we're both gamers, so deeply understand this from a human perspective too, and you can expect a few Gen AI flying penguins for good measure.
