Technologies Impacting Society

10/05/21 • 23 min

Send us a text

In this Podcast I got to speak to Dr Lukasz Porwol on the Metaverse, VR and Communication. The Metaverse is a shared virtual 3D world, or worlds, that are interactive, immersive, and collaborative. Lukasz believes that the Metaverse will revolutionize both education and communication. And that the exchange of ideas for education and understanding is at the core of civilization and the technologies around it are some of the most vital in the world.

Lukasz discusses on this podcast about the state of art headsets that we can currently expect to have ourselves within five years and how photorealistic the current virtual reality technologies currently are. He also discusses the advantages of communicating in VR over current social media communication tools and how VR can even manage to reduce our very own bias.

A DAO is a network of stakeholders with no central governing body, just a set of rules encoded on a blockchain. We believe DAOs have the collaborative potential the world needs. The DAOstack project is building a modular, open-source software stack for DAOs that includes a library of governance protocols and friendly interfaces for creating and managing DAOs. DAOstack is an open source project advancing the technology and adoption of decentralised governance.To tackle today’s biggest problems, we need to coordinate around our shared values more effectively than our current systems allow. Blockchain makes a new type of organisation possible: the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO).
Kate Beecroft is the Ecosystem Lead at DAOstack. The company and platform grew substantially including the ICO in May 2018 creation of the GEN token, the launch of the first dApp Alchemy in 2018 and Alchemy Earth. In this podcast Kate discuses DAOstack and the future of decentralised technology.
