I’m energized to work with a community of innovators to realize the potential and impact of a global metaverse for all. The VRARA Metaverse committee will establish best practices, drive research and enable strategic collaboration among VR/AR/XR, Metaverse, Web3, AI and industry leaders.

The Metaverse has the potential to revolutionize global interaction, economy, and creativity, creating a connected reality that transcends physical boundaries and reshapes how we live, work, and connect.

The future is here, let’s go!
