Interview with Will Smith about his new VR Company

The Interview!The interview was conducted about a month or so ago and mainly pertains to his feelings about different aspects of VR as well as some other related things. Hope you guys like it!

wtf you got me exited I though Will Smith the actor was starting a VR Company lol.

good job Connelo, could you clarify something? What exactly is smith's company doing in VR. Is he making VR content? Is he helping develop VR content. Is he running a consulting firm? Is he doing PR for VR companies? thanks.

aw hell naw

Where is the Will Smith Oculus photo when you need it?

@cheddartyme: Thanks very much! A couple of his medium posts give an inkling to it, but nothing explicit yet. Although definitely seems to be creating applications for VR rather than just consulting or PR. https://medium.com/will-smith/interested-in-using-vr-for-more-than-games-28c2f1333bd6#.4mvbne9x7

Nope, this is way more exciting.

Wait whoa, whoa, wait a second...the Fresh Prince has a VR company Will Smith, THE white guy wearing an occulus dot tumblr dot com, has a VR company now? I am actually somewhat blown by this. Holy shit, that's awesome!

I'm still pretty bummed he left tested. Mythbusters and tested ended at like the same time.

I had no idea he'd even left tested o.O

Executive.

I haven't been paying close attention to Tested for awhile and didn't know that Will left. I wish him the best of luck. The Whiskey Media days are just a distant memory now. Almost everybody has moved on to other things. There are times I miss seeing the Screened, Tested, Comic Vine and Anime Vice logos on the bottom of the page.
