Scott Ross – Metaverse: Heaven or Hell
Metaverse: Heaven or Hell - The possibilities of what it might bring
There is all this hubbub about the coming “Metaverse”. Scott sees the Metaverse as a terribly disruptive and possibly dangerous platform. However, as corporations continue to be driven by profits, increasing stock prices, overestimating technology’s potential (VR/AR), and convincing investors that the Metaverse is the holy grail… we will see significant technical advances in CGI. Photorealistic Humans and AI-driven scenarios and characters will become run of the mill.
Scott Ross
Digital Maverick
As one of the digital media pioneers, Scott Ross’s career in entertainment and technology has spanned three decades. In the 1980’s he led George Lucas’ vast entertainment empire. Then, from 1993 until 2006, he was the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Digital Domain, Inc., one of the largest digital production studios in the motion picture and advertising industries.
