This looks like a video of my kitchen, but it’s actually #VirtualReality. Scanned using the @PolyCamAI app, then optimized, imported into @UnrealEngine and viewed on the @oculus Quest 2 - 2020 was an amazing year for #AR and #VR (longer video & info here bit.ly/vrar2020) – at Golden Valley, MN
#wired - the @stratechery interview with Matthew Ball about his upcoming book THE METAVERSE. (stratechery.com/2022/an-inte…)
#tired: the @WIRED interview with Matthew. (wired.com/story/gadget-lab-p…)
(I subscribe to both)
Can’t wait for the new #metaverse book @ballmatthew
This is an amazing long interview with @demishassabis - if you don’t follow @lexfridman and listen to his podcast, this is a great one to start with – at Golden Valley, MN
Here's my conversation with @demishassabis, CEO of @DeepMind, a company behind some of the biggest breakthroughs in the history of AI and science in general. Demis is a brilliant and kind human being. This chat was truly an honor and a pleasure for me. youtube.com/watch?v=Gfr50f6Z…
This would be surprisingly early to me, but I am hoping this prediction is correct: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022… – at Golden Valley, MN

This is a fantastic interview with @pmarca from @McKinsey mckinsey.com/industries/tech… – at Golden Valley, MN
The #metaverse is (my take) the immersive evolution of the internet, with true digital money and ownership (#web3). Interoperability will be important, as open standards have shown in the past - the new Metaverse Standards Forum was just announced: metaverse-standards.org/
many different paths forward - i really like referring to them as “time machines” into the future:

We know @a16z is bullish on crypto (even in this bear market) - the latest $4.5bn fund sure validates that: ft.com/content/47b05080-67ac…

I’ve been working (and playing) in the #VR space for years - and also got hooked on @getsupernatural during COVID. It’s amazing: so much fun and can be a very intense workout (especially the monster / pro workouts). npr.org/sections/health-shot…

With their custom chips and years of experience in mobile AR, I think Apple is a very unique position to do something amazing here – at West Palm Beach, FL

On the question of “when merge” from @TrustlessState, @drakefjustin says “we are in the final stages” (but still no firm date of course), but consensus is around August 2022
