Manage episode 496177082 series 3571165
Sean is a British Futurist working in the field of experimental performance, XR and neuroscience. His work has been exhibited globally. Since 2012, Sean has been leading a team of future-thinking artists, designers, and scientists to explore the full potential of the Waldorf Project experiment and its evolution into the digital space. Now, as the co-founder of Awen, Sean is focusing on creating radical mind-altering XR worlds to reimagine how humans can engage with technology - to positively transform human emotions and improve mental health.
In this mind-expanding episode of Digital Transformation & AI for Humans, Emi sits down with Sean Rogg to explore Virtual Serenity – a groundbreaking immersive experience that combines virtual reality, biometric data, and emotional design to engineer empathy, elevate consciousness, and activate deep emotional resonance.
We dive into:
- What “Virtual Serenity” is and how it was created
- How immersive tech can foster empathy, connection, and healing in a disconnected world
- The integration of biometric data, multisensory stimulation, and emotional architecture
- The unexpected emotional journeys of participants
- How emotional states and consciousness may be intentionally shaped through tech
- How AI can amplify creativity, art, and innovation rather than replace it
- The future of VR & AI in leadership development, mental health, and human evolution
Sean’s insights challenge the limits of what we think is possible with technology – not just to simulate reality, but to shape our inner world. Tune in for a visionary conversation that merges science, art, and soul.
