Google I/O – Exploring Augmented Reality Interaction – 
Wed. May 9, 3:30PM – 4:30PM – Stage 7 – Beginner

Friends doing awesome stuff alert!

Chris Kelley is a design lead in AR/VR prototyping at Google and is speaking on this panel.

CK and a couple other good boys first put me up when I arrived in LA 15 years ago.  We have been through so much together over the years… we scrummed down together on the footie pitch to pocket a couple national titles, roomed in a crummy flat in Venice Beach, noodled a fair number of good and bad business ideas, and lit out across the earth in search of adventure more than once. He’s since married a lovely gal, has beautiful new daughter, moved to SF, and landed at Google.  And for my friends in the Bay curious about AR @ Google, feel free to ping me to connect with him.  He truly is a wonderful and brilliant person and is an expert in the field.  I consider him one of my very best friends and most trusted advisors.

And if you find yourself at Google I/O this year, do go listen to him speak and heckle him.  It’s fine if you blame me.
