This week on Hot Girls code, we are joined by Zelle, an expert on augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR)! XR is an exciting area of tech that we’ve always found a bit intimidating and mysterious, so we are incredibly lucky to have Zelle on the show. Join us as she breaks down what XR really is, explains the fundamental building blocks of the technology, and shares how you can get started. We also dive into the future of XR and, of course, how we can help keep this space diverse and inclusive!

New episodes come out fortnightly on Wednesday morning (NZT).
