GLO Featured on The AI XR Podcast: The Future of Location Based Entertainment

This year, GLO was honored to be a part of the inaugural Location Based Entertainment (LBE) Zone at AWE USA 2026, the world's leading conference for XR, augmented reality, virtual reality, and spatial computing.

Curated by location based entertainment expert Kevin Williams, the LBE Zone brought together some of the industry's most exciting companies to showcase where immersive entertainment is headed. Following the event, Kevin joined hosts Charlie Fink, Rony Abovitz, and Ted Schilowitz on The AI XR Podcast to discuss the future of location based entertainment and the experiences that stood out at AWE. Listen to the full episode here.

When the conversation turned to GLO, Ted Schilowitz shared his excitement about our experience: "It was one of the rare sort of magical experiences where you get to see these unbelievable devices and what they're capable of."

Kevin followed by describing GLO as "the ultimate location based entertainment," explaining that instead of bringing guests into a purpose-built attraction, GLO brings immersive experiences directly into the places people already love. He highlighted how our virtual graffiti experience blends digital creativity with real spaces, allowing players to leave behind artwork that exists only in mixed reality.

New York City doesn't need to be replaced with a virtual world; it's already one of the most exciting playgrounds on Earth! It is already filled with incredible stories, architecture, art, and hidden corners. GLO adds another layer, turning city streets into game boards where technology encourages exploration, creativity, and play instead of pulling people away from their surroundings.

The conversation also reinforced GLO’s belief that the future of immersive entertainment is social, active, rooted in real places, and it's something people can experience together.

Being included in AWE's first-ever LBE Zone was an incredible honor. Hearing leaders like Kevin Williams and Ted Schilowitz recognize GLO as part of the future of location based entertainment makes that experience even more meaningful.

If you'd like to hear more from Ted, be sure to check out our conversation with him and GLO CEO Ryan Rzepecki at AWE, where they discuss the history of GLO, the future of immersive entertainment, and how GLO is helping redefine what immersive entertainment can be.
