DEE MY GUEST #02 | The Scientist who can touch the Digital World | BMW Podcast - a podcast by BMW

A new day, a new guest, and an improved podcast host! In this episode, I meet Dr. Orestis Georgiou, the head of research and development partnerships at Ultraleap, in the gorgeous country of Cyprus. I wish I could stay here for longer. Dr. Georgiou works on projects which may seem like something you’d only see in science fiction movies, but in his world, that’s everyday business. His technologies allow you to touch the virtual world and even touch your own beating heart. Say whaaat? I know, it’s crazy! Intrigued? Ready to dive into the reality behind a sci-fi movie scene? Listen to this new episode of DEE MY GUEST with Dr. Orestis Georgiou.
