Dominique Wu is the founder of XReality Pro, where she designs, builds, and teaches immersive technologies that empower creators and transform how we interact with XR and AI.

She has consulted for industry giants including Meta and Walmart’s Store No. 8, and is the author of Spatial Design: Breaking the 2D Paradigm.

With over 500 speaker events hosted across her media channels, including the popular XReality Pro YouTube channel, Dominique is a leading voice in XR education and community building.

In this episode, she shares her bold approach to finding product–market fit, why teaching is in her DNA, and how industry newcomers can succeed by positioning themselves as collaborative, adaptable problem solvers in an increasingly AI-driven world.

We get her take on Apple Vision Pro, Android XR and the overall signal to noise in XR and AI.

We also dive into her latest Udemy course, The Ultimate AI Pipeline for XR Development, which takes learners from "zero to hero" in building an interactive XR app inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. See discount code below!!
