This is a special episode of our MetaMind3.0 events! This is part one of two, and the theme of the event was "Technology that enables the MetaVerse." Our moderator was MC and host Tuesday Le Roux, and our panellists were Raed Mikail (Co-Founder & CEO for AVR Hub), Walid Abdelal (Machine learning and blockchain expert, and Rail Systems Engineering & IS Chief Engineer at RTA), and George Chivi (Associate Business Director at Publicis Group).

In part one, we take a look under the hood of 3D modelling and the mathematics behind the Metaverse, as well as talk a bit about governance and protocols in this new Web3 space. There’s also some discussion where we’re still lacking in the Metaverse at the moment — which is a great thing to pay attention to if you’re a business professional looking for a niche to improve, and a way to get your foot in the door.

Make sure to check out part 2 as well!
