This week, we’ve got an episode you can’t refuse: Bryan Rokoszak, xR Design Lead and VR pioneer, dives into his conversation with Nelson by tackling one of the longest-running controversies of our time:  What really happened at the end of The Sopranos finale? From there, we move from gritty reality to virtual reality, with the conversation winding its way from the many virtues of New Jersey to the punk rock scene in New York City to the frontiers of VR, including the concepts of personal space in a virtual world, teleporting across virtual distances, and avoiding the phenomenon of the uncanny valley by representing real-life people as non-people-like avatars. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the near-future applications of virtual reality in business, defense, entertainment, and every other aspect of daily life.Timestamps:Are you from New Jersey? | Have you watched The Sopranos? | Tell me about family life. | How did you get into creative influences in your life, and how did you differentiate yourself from your brothers? | When did the shift to a creative field happen? | What part of your design career was interesting?  | How did you get to white collar job from a blue collar family? | How did you get into VR?
