Future of 3D Computing | Brittan Heller | S7 E18

S7 E18: If you were to read Brittan Heller’s CV, you might wonder why we’re speaking with her about the ‘Future of 3D Computing’. A Yale-educated lawyer who prosecuted war crimes in Rwanda and the Congo, supported refugees from North Korea and Afghanistan, and served in the U.S. Dept. of State and Dept. of Justice before becoming a Teaching Fellow & Law Lecturer at Stanford University’s Law, Science & Technology program - Brittan is now a globally-recognized leader in technology and human rights. In this important conversation about our fast-moving shift into XR, spatial computing, and from 2D to 3D internet- we address topics around convergence, neuroscience, dark patterns, AI, privacy, and platform governance. This episode serves as a primer for everyone to consider what is the intersection of emerging technology and legal protections. Brittan explains how we got here and shares her expert belief that if only we can get the “rights” part “right”, the future will be beautiful. Don’t miss!
