Can Immersive Tech Go Beyond the Headset?

In this episode of UC Today, host Christopher Carey sits down with Fabio Esposito, CEO of Leia Inc. and former Meta Reality Labs executive, to explore the growing impact of spatial intelligence and immersive technology. Fabio unpacks the biggest misconceptions about spatial computing, why it's far more than just hardware, and how adding visual depth is transforming industries from healthcare and education to remote work and industrial operations. They discuss what makes immersive communication genuinely useful rather than a novelty, how spatial tools can improve the doctor-patient experience, and whether spatial displays will replace or coexist with traditional screens. Fabio also reflects on what he believed about AR/VR five years ago that he no longer agrees with — and why he thinks the future belongs to technology that meets consumers where they already are.
