In this episode, Riz dives deep into the idea of cross-game avatars, or representing digital identities in an emerging metaverse, with Timmu Toke, CEO of Wolfd3d and Ready Player Me, which can be used to quickly generate an avatar from your picture that can be used in VR, AR and is utilized by hundreds of game developers. You can try it out and create your own Dune-themed avatar, complete with stillsuit, via a smartphone or tablet at https://dune-avatar.com/. Topics discussed: NFTs, virtual fashion, development of the matevarse, standards and interoperability, digital identify/presence, and of course a little science fiction as usual.
