incredibly childish of course we all want to avoid the uncanny valley but this could have been built w tech of 15 yrs ago go back to the drawing board

@chandradekrio Respectfully disagree- the ability to render a 3D avatar on a mid-range mobile device would have been impossible 15 years ago, as smartphones didn't exist in 2006. They used WAP and had keyboards. The challenge here- to render a 3D metaverse experience on an average phone, while supporting a full creator network for content (Both on avatar and in 3D spaces), and link that to ownership rights (the blockchain didn't exist 15 years ago, either) is what we've solved.

@dbennahum I should have said 5 or 10 yrs. I mean, really comic book looks, nothing new. OK, you put blockchain & metaverse so you are on trend.

@dbennahum @chandradekrio I also want to add, let's not use the term childish anymore in tech, in gaming........ We WANT children to be part of the conversation, We want to empower them to use technology and games, and feel they are in an environment in which they feel safe. The design style you are referring to, is a direct impact of that. We want more young creators to feel that they are included and ignite their entrepreneurial spirit. Tech is tech, let's be more inclusive.

amazing- a fashion app that is non-toxic- i don't have to open myself to body shaming- can just have fun with my friends and express myself! has huge potential for kids and teens to not be bullied for what they look like.

@futurefictionuk thanks! This project actually started with an interest in teens and social media safety: what happens once you separate from your body and express yourself using a whole new identity? We enabled voice modulation and face tracking (coming next) so you can be any gender (or no gender), body type, skin color, voice tone. So much of what's toxic on current social media relates to the fact that every post is a REAL person - and they're judged accordingly.

@futurefictionuk You are preaching to the choir! Thank you for recognizing this, and seeing what we are doing within ICON - let's empower more kids, teens and women to become part of the conversation, get them involved in tech in a positive way and encourage them to be creators in a safe, diverse and representative environments :)

@jason thanks for hunting us today! 💥🎊 It took several "people-years" to build the underlying tech behind ICON- a modular avatar system, able to go across titles on mobile, a mobile creator tool with a cloud-based asset library, linked to tokenized rights, and of course the "metaverse" components that assemble the experience into 3D environments. So it's exciting to start getting feedback here! 💬 What you have in your hands is the MVP - the core of the create / share / discover - loop. The timing on all this is pretty weird, since we started actively working on the frameworks about a year ago- and here we are at the moment that "the metaverse" and NFTs and virtual goods are all at the top of people's newsfeeds. Looking forward to talking about where this is all headed- Not just ICON but the whole metaverse thing- in this chat. If people want to discuss! Most of all, thanks to the community for giving ICON a whirl. Really appreciate it! And of course a big thanks to all the Ready makers - engineers / artists / designers (most of whom are listed here) - that solved some pretty gnarly problems along the way, while making it all look sooooo easy! 🙏🥳

@rolodexter we like to think of it as "social media from the metaverse."
very cool can you tell me the company differentiation from Genies?
David S. Bennahum

@jason_neuman Good question! Genies is still in a kind of "public beta" so it's hard to know exactly what they're up to (so that is one big big difference- we are live). Having said that, based on what we know, our platform is unique in that we allow the *end user* to manufacture and sell their avatar content- not limited to just professional devs (which appears to be the Genies model). So we're democratizing the creator economy into the metaverse, with a mobile-first design tool that can quickly get you creating, merchandizing, and selling- all from the phone!
@dbennahum love that David great angling. democratizing creator economy key words. bravo.
