Eric, Todd, and Skeeva sit down with special guests Artur and Shodah from Somnium Space for a deep dive into one of VR's most ambitious open-world platforms. The pitch is simple but big: explore, create, own, and socialize together in a persistent virtual world without the walls other platforms put up.
Artur and Shodah walk the crew through what makes Somnium Space different — true ownership of what you build, a more open approach to the metaverse than the usual walled gardens, and a world built for people to actually hang out in, not just visit. The conversation covers where the platform is headed, what creators can do inside it, and why "open" is the word doing the heavy lifting in their vision for VR's future.
As always, it's a mix of hands-on demo talk and bigger-picture questions about where virtual worlds are going next. Grab a headset and see what Somnium Space is building.
