This podcast dives into the revival of hardware engineering and the thrilling interaction between hardware and software, spurred by reshoring manufacturing, the retirement of skilled workers, and the surge of AI and autonomy. The conversation emphasizes the rising demand for "full-stack" engineers who are adept in both areas, highlighting the urgent need for new training programs to bridge the skills gap. This trend promises job creation across a range of fields, including manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and agriculture. Additionally, the podcast examines how game technology is increasingly being applied in real-world scenarios, from defense simulations and autonomous vehicle training to virtual design and consumer use, all propelled by innovations in AI-powered content, 3D capture, and extended reality devices.
