Description

Though tech giants like Netflix, Microsoft, and Google are pressing pause on metaverse ambitions in light of economic headwinds and spiraling hype cycles, spatial data is powering virtual environments that drive real benefits and practical utility for enterprise functions and consumer applications. Yet creating an immersive, effective, and agile spatial lake—deep enough to power the metaverse—requires three key functional layers to (1) create and manage, (2) build and operate, and (3) deliver and interact at scale. In this panel, spatial computing expert David Randle (Global Head of Spatial Computing GTM at AWS) moderates a panel with meta-world-makers Josh Rush (CEO at Surreal Events), Ryan Smith (Head of Product at RapidCompact by DGG), and Dan O’Brien (GM Americas at HTC VIVE) to discuss the formula for creating a “Spatial Lakehouse” solution strong enough to make the metaverse matter to employees, clients and consumers alike.
