Sit in with me and my conversation with Tim Moore. Tim has built two successful video production companies with his partner Jonathan Davila. The first half of our discussion explores his companies from a business owner and entrepreneurial perspective. The second half dives headfirst into speculating about the future of virtual environments, simulation, the concept of virtually co-creating without the use of written or spoken language, our near-future ability to create content at the speed of thought, feeling and seeing the ideas of others in real-time, your reality getting jealous of your visions and other mind-bending concepts of the future.
