Metaverse & LEGO Standards – discussion on @metaverse_forum, videoconferencing etiquette, audio deepfakes, and @LEGO_Group
Andy joins Michael and Michael for his triumphant return to the co-host chair. The trio start off this week’s episode with a thorough discussion on standards and standards bodies, prompted by the articles on the newly minted Metaverse Standards Forum. This conversation brings to mind the RosettaNet standards body – quite the blast from the past.
Then, a series of LEGO stories – a few more than the norm, beginning with Doom played on a single LEGO brick. Michael M learns what a MOC stands for – My Own Creation which are fan-based LEGO creations. Check out those, as well as some amazing new builds reimagining classic sets celebrating LEGO’s 90th anniversary.
