Attention, entertainment tech enthusiasts and fellow Trekkies! 

Prepare to boldly go where no podcast has gone before! 

We’re beaming aboard with Renard Jenkins, the Captain Kirk of entertainment tech, to explore how sci-fi dreams are becoming Hollywood reality. Engage!

From Tricorders to Tablets: Trek Tech Turned Reality

Beam me up, Scotty! Renard Jenkins kicks off our journey with a mind-blowing revelation:

 

“Some of the things that you look at on Star Trek, they’re now commonplace to us in our world today. We’re getting to the place now where we can have a universal translator. We are at that point now where you can use your phone to be a universal translator.”

It’s like we’re living in the future, folks! Who needs a DeLorean when your smartphone is basically a tricorder?

AI: The Real-Life Universal Translator

Hold onto your communicators! Jenkins is about to blow our minds with how AI is making the universal translator a reality:

 

“There are so many tools out there that can, that say, um, just give us five minutes of your voice and we’ll be able to create your avatar in 20 languages. And you can almost have like a Tower of Babel translation dynamically even.”

Holodeck Dreams: VR’s Next Frontier

Jenkins shares his vision of VR’s future:

 

“Virtual production, enhanced by AI, will become the norm. We’ll see AI-driven virtual environments that can adapt in real-time to director’s cues, revolutionizing how we create visual content.”

It’s like we’re stepping into our very own Holodeck, minus the occasional malfunction trying to kill us!

Prime Directive: Navigating Ethical Tech Dilemmas

Even in the final frontier, ethics matter. Jenkins lays down the law:

 

“We have to be responsible in the way that we use this tool because we essentially control how others see the world if they don’t have the opportunity to travel and explore.”
