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.
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!!!

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?
