SXSW 2023
Bridging the Metaverse and Physical Networks
Description:
On October 28, 2021, Facebook announced it's name change to Meta. That move planted a flag in a category that existed previously only in abstract from. It's here now and it has a name. With average screen time at 7 hours, millions of consumers ordering delivery from their smartphones, and viral phenomenons like Pokemon Go!, we are defining the category with every new use case. So how does this generation of entrepreneurs, product designers, and engineers take advantage of the development of a limitless, digital world? Join us as we discuss the developments happening with physical networks and how they help and hinder the delivery of the metaverse to billions. We will talk through a few opportunities presented with a new compute platform transformation we haven't seen since mobile.
