The Endeavor-owned mixed martial arts organization UFC has inked a multiyear partnership with TIkTok, under which UFC will produce live content on the social-video platform. The deal encompasses new weekly UFC shows that will feature live footage from weigh-ins and press conferences, athlete interviews, arena tours, fighter training segments, and more.
XOXO Festival co-founder Andy Baio unveiled a platform for virtual events called Skittish where you attend as an animal avatar and explore by clicking around with your mouse or navigating with the WASD keys on your keyboard like you might in a video game. You’ll be able to catch conversations thanks to spatial audio, which makes sounds fade in and out depending on how near you are to the source.
