Like what started your journey in spatial computing and your passion for making dope tech accessible.
4:15
I would definitely say you're right.
4:16
If two years ago you asked me that I'd be building the standards for the open metaverse, the future of the World Wide Web, I would have laughed.
4:25
And here I am two years later building the first set of open standards to create an open metaverse.
4:30
And so you're right, we didn't start there.
4:32
We started the company around solving for mass multi-players.
4:37
We heard about the idea of the metaverse like everyone.
9:37
Can you talk about that mind shift as a leader? I'm curious, did you discover new superpowers or did you learn new things as you got into the standard side about how you approach intervention?
9:03
And you have a list of web browser engines, including... blink webkit and gecko and so it sounds like that there's a way that you would take the engine of the metaverse browser engine of sneeze and basically need to compile it into these web browsers and then once you combine and add it then you have the web and metaverse enabled browsers so maybe just talk a bit about through that process of like right now from what i've heard it's really difficult to like compile your own version of chrome it's like very confusing and complicated and so Is this something that developers, that you'd expect the people who have that capability to create essentially what Meta did with their own distribution of Chrome and Chromium with their own browser on the Quest, that they're going to be creating these browsers and distributing them in a way that has these extra capabilities that are not in the base version of Chrome? And just maybe sort of describe that process and what does Sneeze then give you?
9:52
Yeah, I don't think there's going to be hundreds of thousands of people building their own browser, right? I mean, this is really for AR glass manufacturers.
9:58
So if you think of like the Quest, right, you have the MetaQuest browser.
10:01
So they took Chromium, they forked it, they created some layers on top of it and made it their own browser.
10:06
And I think that's going to be no different with what we're building.
10:08
This is an opportunity for AR glass manufacturers that don't have billions of dollars to build a software ecosystem that's closed or a closed platform that they want enterprises to adopt their hardware.
10:17
They instantly now have that access.

I'm wondering if you'd be willing to walk through these six different things that are unique to what you're providing that a 2D web browser can't.
