8 principles for connecting the real & virtual
- People are the killer app. I’ve lived through two platform shifts in my career in tech. We’re now shifting from mobile into The Metaverse (in all its 3D, crypto, spatial, XR, decentralized messiness). When these shifts are in their early stages the mass-market skeptically asks, “What are the use cases? What’s the killer app?”. The reality is that there is no killer app for a platform shift. It’s the same use cases we already have today on today’s devices. What drives the shift is that the new platform enables people to express themselves in a new way. We’re most excited about the new forms of social expression that will reflect between the real world & the metaverse.
- The Spirit of Place is what we want to capture, not the geometry, the textures, the semantics etc. Those are all the bricks that make a digital house, we want to build a home.
