What was your business highlight of 2024?

It was an incredible honor to be part of the immersive short film “Realidade Imersa” (“Immersed Reality”), which highlighted the impact of the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul, alongside some of the most talented minds in Brazilian Extended Reality. Having this experience showcased at COP29 in Azerbaijan made it even more special and unforgettable!

What XR-leaning event are you most looking forward to in 2025?

In fact, there are several international and national (Brazilian) events throughout the year that catch my interest. Here are a few: Worldwide: AWE, CES, SIGGRAPH, Meta Connect, Gamescom, Laval Virtual, Immersive Tech Week. In Brazil: Rio Innovation Week, Rio2C, Hacktown, Campus Party Brazil, NFT Brasil, VR Day Brasil/Latam, XRBR Summit.

What was your dream job when you were growing up?

Since childhood, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a Game Designer or 3D Modeler. This passion stemmed from my early exposure to both the world of gaming and computers.

What was your favourite film/TV show of 2024?

Definitely “Dark Matter”. This series brings to light various theories of physics, especially about the multiverse, topics that have always fascinated me.

What’s the biggest challenge you face in 2025?

I believe keeping up with new technologies is, and always will be, a significant challenge. Not only does it take time to master them, but it also requires constant learning to stay updated and avoid outdated knowledge.

If you had to learn one new skill, what would it be?

Certainly, it would be the ability to sing. Since I have a hobby as a musician (I play a few string instruments), I believe this skill would help me not only to sing songs I enjoy but also to create the soundtracks for my own experiences.

What are your personal XR-related 2025 ambitions/goals?

Improve my development and management skills even further, create more content for my social media (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and especially LinkedIn), and participate in as many events as possible throughout the year.
