About Jason Odom
After years of developing PC games with publishers like Activision and Take 2 as well as teaching game development, I moved into augmented reality and more recently, specifically HoloLens development. When I am not writing or doing Next Reality work, I am creating HoloLens mixed reality applications with C# and Unity.I have a passionate focus on finding new and unique but natural approaches to UX.
