In this episode, Phillip Lanos speaks with five-time Emmy Award-winning producer and Digital Rights Network founder Neil Mandt about the emerging fight over who controls the digital layer of the physical world. Mandt explains why augmented reality is no longer a futuristic concept, but a present-day business, legal, and property rights issue that could reshape real estate, advertising, media, and commerce. The conversation explores how Digital Rights Network aims to build the infrastructure for a new layer economy, where ownership, licensing, and trust will define the future of AR.
