We’re in an age where the technology we make can have unlimited impacts on the future and we need to think about that responsibly, now, MetaVRse (https://metavrse.com/) co-founder Alan Smithson notes candidly on his second visit with The AR Minute with Nathan C.
“Facebook never thought they could topple governments with a social sharing network, filled with recipes and photos of your kids, but they did.”
In Smithson’s view of the near future powered by AR, VR and AI, nearly every job and industry will be transformed — with the workforce bearing the brunt of this tremendous disruption.
Enter Unlimited Awesome Academy, (unlimitedawesome.com) a radical approach to education and training that prioritizes a flexible, digital-first mindset and incentivizes wellness, balance, and impact.
In addition to stealing some of this episode’s hosting duties (and our hearts), Alan shares some of the tough challenges that XR companies face when they take off with customers and need to scale for the Enterprise. These critical relationships and customers can require additional support, services and integrations that young tools lack and may need to invest in.
Cheers to the MetaVRse team on the completely rebuilt 2.0 Engine!
