On this episode we explored engineering the Metaverse and what some of the technologies and hardware are behind it.

Engineering is defined as:

"The creative application of “scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes"...

Brittanica

What a cool time we live in to see such rich and engaging uses of this discipline.

To dive into this topic we brought on Christian Noble, a software engineer and co-founder of Metaverse Festival platform, FutureFest.

Future Fest is a fun, engaging and social example of "engineering the metaverse", allowing users to gather around their favorite causes and entertainment like music.

After all, at the end of the day, the Metaverse is simply a real-time, online, digital 3D realm for us to gather in.

In the future, it is likely that there will be dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of Metaverses. (Metaversii?)
We discussed all sorts of topics including:

How the various FAANNG companies have approached Mixed Reality (XR)
Open source and closed Development and Platforms (and why both are important)
How Apple vs. Android and Samsung approach iteration
How an Apple engineer stole proprietary tech for autonomous vehicles
The pros and cons of Open vs Closed ecosystems
Why developers are the secret weapon for big Tech
What silicon chips are and what they do
The different purposes of chips from makers like Broadcom and Qualcomm
Why chip makers are so secretive about their development
What the Silicon Shield is and why the US throws it's Military might behind it
How Quantum computing will affect the future
How the FutureFest team aims to build community and fun social experiences with the Metaverse
