Nathaniël de Jong — Co-Founder

Yep some people say I live in the Matrix, and they’re not wrong. It’s rare to see me without a pair of AR glasses on or fully immersed inside a VR headset. If you’ve ever dipped your toes into this medium, you’ve probably heard of this guy called Nathie. No surprises there, as I’m a top XR expert, known trendwatcher, and happen to own one of the leading tech channels in the spac with over 800k subscribers, 250 million views across all content and 10+ years of experience creating immersive content. I was the first content creator to go full time on YouTube in this space and have elevated my brand beyond the platform, sharing insights on LinkedIn about the latest XR trends, dominating social media with innovative projects and being a sought after guest at industry events like AWE and CES. Over the decade, I’ve been there to cover major product launches such as Apple Vision Pro, Samsung Galaxy XR, Meta Quest, and Ray Ban Display. No matter the time or location, we are often first on the scene to inspire and excite people about the spatial future of wearables, educating them on the potential these technologies have and how they will change our digital lifestyles. The difference between me and others in the field is that I actually use and own the tech to keep track of their development and so I understand what it is, where its heading and what next step will be. I’ve worked with all the big players, from Apple to Meta and Google, Snap and various other companies developing next generation wearable technology. In my work, I’m inspired by films such as Ready Player One and The Matrix. It’s all driven by pure passion for the medium. While amazing, the XR scene still has its ups and downs but ever since I found out we don’t think in problems but solutions, I never doubted the direction this industry is heading in, XR was, has and will be the future. People often praise me for my honest takes on tech, my ability to look outside of the bubble and for the fact that, despite my reach, I still personally purchase most of the tech I review, giving my content a true consumer level viewpoint. My goal is to help people understand where immersive technology is heading before it arrives, breaking down complex ideas into experiences that are easy to grasp, honest, and exciting. I believe XR will redefine how we work, play and connect, and I’m here to make sure people are ready for what comes next. Join me, shall you? linktr.ee/nathievr
