🎨 From Paper Bags to Pixels: How Tech is Making Creativity More Accessible 🚀🖌️   "Back in college, one of the hardest art assignments I had was making a pile of paper bags look real—just using shading, lighting, and lines. Turns out… it was really difficult."   Fast forward to today, and technology has changed everything. With augmented reality, virtual reality, and AI-powered tools, you don’t need to be a master artist to create stunning visuals. Kids as young as 8 can build games, and adults can access creative tools that make once-complex skills more intuitive than ever.   The biggest takeaway? What was once hard for past generations is now more accessible than ever. The question is—are we embracing these tools to push our creativity further?   What’s a skill you once thought was impossible, but technology made easier?

🚀 Winning Executive Buy-In for XR: The "Heads in Headsets" Approach 🚀   At Industrial Immersive, Todd Daniel (CEO, Shiny Box Interactive) and Jessica Beavers (Executive Director, HTC VIVE - North America) outlined the critical next step after selecting hardware, software, and MDM solutions—executive buy-in.   💡 The Challenge? Executives Need to Experience XR Firsthand.   🔹 Pitching XR internally is tough—without leadership support, adoption stalls.   🔹 One champion pushing XR alone is a high-risk strategy—it’s too much pressure for one person to become an expert in all systems.   🔹 The Solution? “Heads in Headsets”   📌 Veteran Affairs uses this strategy to drive XR adoption internally.   📌 XR Innovation Days—run on-site experiences where executives test different content across multiple devices targeting:   ✅ Human Resources (onboarding, training)   ✅ Manufacturing (operations, digital twins)   ✅ Learning & Development (soft skills, workforce training)   🔹 Lean on Your Vendors for Support   📌 XR champions don’t have to do it alone—vendors have years of industry learnings to share.   📌 Ford struggled with XR five years ago—but today, companies can leverage past failures to fast-track success.   💡 The takeaway? The fastest way to executive buy-in is through hands-on experience. Get decision-makers into headsets and let them experience the impact firsthand.   How is your company securing executive support for XR initiatives?

🚁 From 8 Mile to Workforce Development: How Drone Racing is Changing Lives 🚀   At BitBasel in Miami, Florida, we shared a story about how a random drive down Detroit’s famous 8 Mile Road led to something incredible.   We spotted an open field full of drones and pulled up like we were the police, asking, “What are you doing here?” 😆 Their response? “Just having fun.” But when we asked, “Where are the kids?”, they admitted: “We don’t know how to reach them.”   We did.   Turns out, we had just met Detroit’s professional drone racing team. They taught us how to fly, and in turn, we started teaching kids—leading them into drone technology, STEM education, and workforce development.   This wasn’t just about flying drones—it was about creating opportunities, building skills, and inspiring the next generation of innovators.   Who knew a random stop would turn into a pathway to the future? 🚁✨   #Drones #STEM #WorkforceDevelopment #Education #Innovation #Detroit #FutureOfTech #BitBasel #Miami
