Computer scientist, musician and author Jaron Lanier spoke to a sold-out crowd for the latest Presidential Lecture. Before his lecture in the LPC, Lanier sat down with a small group of students to chat about his fascinating background and love for musical instruments. 💻 Lanier has been on the cusp of technological innovation from its infancy. A pioneer in virtual reality (a term he coined), Lanier is currently the “octopus” (which stands for Office of the Chief Technology Officer Prime Unifying Scientist) at Microsoft. He also founded several startups acquired by Google, Adobe, Oracle, and Pfizer. #tulsa #utulsa #highered #university #students #ai #vr #virtualreality #compsci #google #microsoft #startup #tech
