Manage episode 341676356 series 3351866
There is a new version of the internet coming, maybe it’s version 9 or web3? Some call it Metaverse, but nobody knows what it is. Nobody? No! Two engineers try to clarify and resist the marketing hype. Let’s find out why we need a markup description for ridiculous hats and what the Metaverse and web3 actually are. What do you prefer, Roblox or Fortnite?
Welcome to The Innovation Engineer Podcast, your favorite place for picking brains of your favorite engineers. This time we ask ourselves if the Metaverse and Web3 are actually legit. Is it just marketing? And aren’t we already at web9 or something? We talk about our experiences using VR and AR equipment, why Facebook did change their name to Meta and how this new alternative to the World Wide Web with http and URLs may look like.
Hosted by two former CTOs, both veterans of the industry, you can expect many stories from current and past ventures. Meet Innovation Engineer Tarek Madany Mamlouk and Principal Engineer Sebastian "Waschi" Waschnick.
