Everyone Can Participate in Building the Metaverse @TED #shorts

I love my digital art,

but I want to take it with  me out into the real world.

Thankfully we can access

augmented reality on our mobile devices.

We could use this tool to simply cover the world.

Or we could use it

to further connect us to this world.

We had a lot of artists reaching out to us,

so we created tools

to allow them to  augment their work.

And very quickly, we had a community

of artists covering the world  with their augmented art.

It was beautiful.

This is just the beginning.

You could leave a digital  artwork on the street corner

for your lover to find.

You could reinvent your backyard

with an animated treasure hunt

for your kids and their friends.

The digital worlds we build

can be a wonderful playground for exploring identity,

for learning new skills, for practicing creativity

and bringing our communities together.
