Humans in Digital Space: Digital environments for social and psychological progress
If the spatial computing revolution means that digital environments will be everywhere, that means that everyone will - in some way - be in them, or at least be exposed to them. And we all know that the text-based internet has not been a complete success in terms of human progress, socially and psychologically.
So how do we do better with the spatial internet? Is this a matter of regulation? Or community engagement? Or an ethical revolution? Or something else entirely? Can we make digital environments and metaverses better - for all, for all time - than the default world, somehow? Or will that remove the potential for novelty, discovery, creativity?
This conversation, led by leaders in imagination, design, philosophy and governance of spatial environments and digital communities, explores the human frontier in the spatial computing age.
Everyone working in or studying spatial computing, metaverses, game, digital design, social media, philosophy and ethics, interface design, community development and governance is welcome to join in, learn, and participate. The event is free to attend, but registration is required.
Livestream
All livestream guests will be sent a link to the livestream 10 minutes before the event starts.
