Jeri Ellsworth: podcast appearances and interviews

Jeri Janet Ellsworth, born on August 14, 1974, is an American entrepreneur, computer chip designer, and inventor. She gained recognition in 2004 for creating a complete Commodore 64 imitating system on a chip housed within a joystick, called Commodore 30-in-1 Direct to TV. This device enabled users to play 30 video games from the 1980s and sold over 70,000 units in a single day via the QVC shopping channel. Ellsworth's expertise in hardware development led her to be hired by Valve Corporation to develop augmented reality hardware. After her termination from Valve in 2013, she co-founded castAR to continue AR development, though the company shut down in June 2017 before completing the project. Subsequently, she founded Tilt Five to create augmented reality hardware based on similar principles. In addition to her commercial ventures, Ellsworth has engaged in public discussions about homebrew projects, including the possibility of manufacturing semiconductor chips at home.
