#10: Gabriella Chihan Stanley (VRISCH) on Virtual Experiences & Tech Ethics
This episode marks a premiere: We’re podcasting in English to welcome Gabriella “Gabs” Chihan Stanley. Gabs comes from a multicultural background - born in Paraguay to Syrian and British immigrants, she's lived in the U.S., Barcelona, and now Vienna. Like us, she is deeply engaged with future technologies: As an award-winning XR director and producer, she runs the VR studio VRISCH with her Austrian husband, Axel, creating virtual experiences for clients such as the Austrian Federal Forests, Wiener Prater, and the award-winning UK theatre company Les Enfants Terribles.
"Technology is holistic," Gabs believes, and she's committed to a tech sphere that's inclusive, respectful, and safe - a mission she promotes through her roles as the founder of “XRVienna” and as the Austrian Ambassador for “Women in Immersive Tech”.
We speak with Gabs about the ethical responsibilities of the tech industry, about privacy, transparency, and finding the balance between innovation, risk, and regulation. We also discuss robot cats, unexpected items in the work desk drawer - and Austrian liver dumpling soup!
