In today's episode, I'm joined by XR dev Avaer, and XR philosopher and community builder Jin for an exciting conversation all about their dream of an open and composable metaverse.
This conversation is a behind the scenes look at the most exciting projects at the intersection of NFTs and XR. Avaer and Jin teach me all about Webaverse, an in-development web-based open source 3D social experience that stands as a counterpoint to the centralizing tech conglomerate's vision of the Metaverse future. The guests teach me all about the many open technologies that enable Webaverse to be a responsive and highly accessible 3D social environment.
In the show's final act, we're joined by DAO Engineer MetaDreamer for an insightful interlude about MetaFactory, Ceramic Protocol, and MetaDreamer's new Web3 credentialing project, MetaCred.
