Ex-Air Force Electrical and Environmental Systems Specialist who’s going through a career change, and I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Application Development here at the college. I’ve always been interested in Virtual Reality, but the thing that really sold me on pursuing a career in VR application development is VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) and its effectiveness in treating PTSD. I believe XR technologies are important technologies that will change the landscape of education and healthcare in the future.

Biography:

I studied Interactive Design and Audiovisual and Multimedia Production in Bogotá, Colombia. I’m passionate about creating immersive storytelling experiences.

My interest in XR started during college where I took a class of VR and AR and I saw all the potential these tools have. Then in 2019 I moved to Seattle and I had the opportunity to collaborate with different companies in this industry. I think everyone should have access to immersive technologies, this is a multidisciplinary tool that can help teachers and students to understand or explain concepts better and more efficiently.

Biography:

Hello I’m Sebastian Cochran, I’m interested in many aspects about XR and its applications, I’m currently studying to become an Electrical/Computer Engineer with the goal of developing technologies related to VR.

My biggest interest lies in recording electrical activities within specific parts of the body, and integrating those electrical signals into the XR experience, for example: using an electroencephalogram to interact with a VR environment or emulating the movement of the body with the use of electromyography.

I’m excited for what future capability’s XR entails and the uses it could be utilized in: from broad rehabilitation (Physical therapy, PTSD, GAD, Phobias, etc.), and social integration (Autism, PTSD, Depression, Gender dysphoria, GAD, etc.), to enabling completely new forms of education, and the social experiments/experiences that VR enables one to explore.
