This is amazing. @Dmitry can you talk more about the inspiration behind Metaverse?
Dmitry Shapiro
@eriktorenberg Thanks Erik. Added a comment on PH, and here is a link to our blog post about the release - https://medium.com/gometa/welcom...

This looks crazy interesting, lowering the learning curve around AR is 💯
Dmitry Shapiro
@adrianleb Thanks Adrian. This is the key, to make AR trivially simple to author and experience.

It's basically a Pokémon Go creator for anyone... or like Minecraft for the real world!
Absolutely love the name too — it's about time someone brought Neal Stephenson's Metaverse, described in Snow Crash, to life!

@chrismessina Thanks Chris! We are excited to answer questions as people digest this a bit. Obviously, we believe that this is a big inflection point for AR.

Thanks for the hunt, Chris! We’re excited to announce the launch of the Metaverse platform and can’t wait to see what you build. Check out Dmitry’s blog post at https://medium.com/gometa/welcom... for a deeper look at what we’re building and why.

WOW!! I was wondering when something like this will come up. Love the Halloween theme game.
Dmitry Shapiro
@guyshimoni Thanks Guy! We've had quite amazing feedback, and seem to have made lots of folks happy :)
Dmitry Shapiro
Thanks everyone for the enthusiasm. We want to make it trivially easy for anyone to create and share AR Interactive Experiences. When friction of creation is reduced, in any new medium, millions of stories bloom. This happened with video, when YouTube democratized it, with web publishing when blogs came into being, and we are trying to do the same with Augmented Reality. Excited to answer any questions that you may have!!! You may also want to check out my Medium post for details of this launch and broader vision : https://medium.com/gometa/welcom...

Metaverse as in... SNOW CRASH?? ❄️

@raiza_abubakar Different, but similar :)
Paul Shuteyev
The idea is great and simple! Can you integrate such "finder/viewer" into 3rd party apps, allowing businesses to use such characters in their apps and for promoting their locations?

This looks really cool. I have requested to be a creator.

@tom1077 Thanks Bi. We will be rolling this out shortly :)

You guys should look into integrating with DeSo! They just launched a $50m developer fund! More info here https://www.deso.org/blog/a-50-m...
