Welcome to the Modern Futures podcast Episode 003 (Part 2) with Nikolas Badminton, Futurist
In this episode Nikolas interviews Kharis O’Connell, CEO of HUMAN, a product design studio that lives at the frontier of technology. In Part 2 of this interview Kharis talks about experimenting with edge technologies in Wearables, Virtual and Augmented Reality, immersive human experiences, and how the future will be ‘twitchy’.

If you imagine how far ‘face swapping’ has gone, now imagine a world where everybody’s identity can be swapped out on the fly…we’re talking about Ken kesey’s Acid Test with a global impact. LSD, and all of these things, in the real world.

Part 1 can be listened to at The Modern Futures Podcast – Ep003: Designing Multi-modal Realities with Kharis O’Connell (Part 1).
