Bobby Carlton

Writer / ED of Immersive Learning at Ready Learner One / SXSW XR Pitch Advisory Board

My name is Bobby Carlton and I have dedicated my professional career exploring how XR technology can be used to reshape how any industry could approach education, training, and engagement. My work also explores how immersive technology such as unique XR marketing strategies through social media AR filters, can be used for digital marketing and company branding and how it can change social behavior and consumerism, creating a more agile thinking that leads to brand loyalty.

As an AR/VR influencer, I have been a speaking guest and paneled events in VR environments such as AltspaceVR, Engage, Rec Room, and Mozilla Hubs, as well as physical conferences such as Learning Conference, Training Magazine Conference and Expo, TechLearn, Masie Center labs, and PAX East. I have also been a guest writer for STRIVR, InSync Training, and currently serve as a regular guest on the UK's nationally syndicated radio program TalkSport Radio as their technology expert.

I have been a writer for VRScout since 2016, a judge for the annual VR Awards, and sit on the 2021 SXSW XR Pitch Advisory Board.
