Sonya Haskins aka Hasko7 on identity in virtual spaces, from helping people onboarding into Echo Arena for the first time with the Oculus Rift to Head of Programming for the Augmented World Expo.
I grew up in rural isolation, cut off from the signal of many big city conveniences but it fed my creative mind, making me wired for the future. No cable, no touch-tone phone, just an overclocked imagination, a Commodore 64, a hunger for sci-fi and technology, and a need for connection. That’s why the cultural struggle and passion to establish identity in this interview feels so familiar. This was a refreshing interview illuminating the cliche gamer profile isn't accurate.
