In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan is joined by Dudes n Beer Technology Correspondent and Interactive VR Developer Billy Joe Cain of the Radical Empathy Foundation to the program to discuss the current state of VR in our modern world as well as new ground breaking cases that have been broken by the FBI and other Government agencies in the realm of human trafficking. Everyday thousands of people are smuggled within our own border, across state lines to feed the needs of nefarious individuals. Everything from high end prostitution to child molestation, on-line luring, pornography and even low wage and slave labor. Yes, even in our modern world these atrocities still exist in our own country…even our very own backyard. What is the truth of people being trafficked into America for sexual and labor purposes? What can we do to open our eyes to this ever-present scourge? How can we as a society begin to address this very pressing and more than pertinent conversation regarding the most basic of human rights? What is facing law enforcement in the future and how can the technology of Virtual Reality change the playing field? How can we use VR to help instill a sense of empathy with our common man? All these questions and more in this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast with special guest Billy Joe Cain of Radical Empathy Foundation.

Thanks for having me over, for the great discussion (and beer), and for all the advice you shared after the episode.
An inspired evening!
My hope is that we helped reduce human suffering in at least one individual, whether now or later, based upon the information we shared.
