A Brave New MetaWorld

A Brave New MetaWorld

By Dedric Reid, CEO & Founder of HelloVR, Creator of MetaWorld®

In 2012, I coined the term "MetaWorld" to describe my revolutionary idea of an expansive, enduring, simulated reality. Little did I know that this concept would become a pivotal element in the new age of spatial computing and generative AI. With unwavering determination, I embarked on a mission to transform my vision for MetaWorld into reality, establishing one of the world's first social spatial computing studios, HelloVR, and officially trademarking the term "MetaWorld" in 2013.

Over the course of eight years, MetaWorld has undergone a series of transformative phases, driven by the rapid advancements in spatial computing technology and the emergence of generative AI systems. This convergence of technologies has allowed us to push the boundaries of what was once thought possible in creating immersive, interconnected virtual realms.
