The Foo Show, A New Virtual Reality Podcast and Chat Show Created by Will Smith of Tested
The Foo Show is a new virtual reality podcast and chat show created by Will Smith from Tested. The show is set in a virtual environment with avatars standing in for the host and guest with the viewer serving as the show’s sole audience member.
On the first episode of the show, Smith welcomed Campo Santo developers Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin who showed off their first person adverture game Firewatch. After a short discussion on the show’s virtual set, the trio takes a tour of the firewatch tower that is central to the game.
Weekly episodes of the show will be released beginning in the summer of 2016 on the Oculus and SteamVR platforms. Smith announced he would be leaving Tested to devote his time to a new virtual reality project in a post on Medium in September 2015.
