Rafael has more than 10 years of experience in the field of 3D reconstruction, both as an entrepreneur and also as a researcher, and he holds a PhD in Computer Vision.

We have been speaking a little while on our discord server bit.ly/podfestasia and we used this episode to dive in on some new features he and his team have been working extremely hard on. For those in our community who don't know what Spatial.io is, I decided to invite him to come on the Metaverse-themed festival and live podcast to give them some insight and explain immersive AR/ VR tech and everything #Metaverse You have already seen a preview of the avatar which I posted on socials in late June that will replace me - it is eerily photo-realistc and real, people loved it so far! On this episode, I asked Jake whether: The pandemic aided in AR/ VR progression; how is his team able to help companies pivot during these unpredictable but also exciting times especially in the AR/ VR spaceOcculus Quest 2 changed the way in how people see each other after Zoom fatigue. Are these things in metaverse going to persist especially with NFT and AR/ VR converging?How did Spatial.io go into NFT integration space? Was it due to NFT artists flooding the space to create immersive galleries for collector vs staring at 2D digital art?What’s cool about #Metamask integration; how with a few clicks anyone can place their NFT art in the virtual galleries and walls; what is it like in the web version?What they are doing in and for the NFT community and upcoming collaborations?Does disorientation ever go away for someone who spends so much time in VR?How do viewers bid the NFT pieces seen in a VR gallery?Do they take commissions or sell virtual land?VR first companies vs #Zoom first companies - why the former boasts benefits of having VR headquarters, keeping clients and remote employees engaged You don’t wanna miss this episode.
