In this episode of Cyborg to Be, serial entrepreneur and futurist Briar Prestidge, and her brand manager Georgia Smithwick travel to Abu Dhabi. There, they visit their partner Zain Tambe, CEO of Boltable, to discuss the vision behind their futuristic digital fashion label and metaverse mall they are building on gaming platform Roblox.
The world of Oltair (website coming soon www.oltair.com) is inspired by Briar's journey to augment with technology and journey into the future. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of digital reality, Oltair's signature style transcends the traditional, physical norms of the real world. Cat robots, hover boards, spaceships; anything goes in the metaverse.
Roblox sees over 70 million daily users, a majority of which are Gen Alpha, our youngest generation. It’s a generation that has never known a world without generative AI, augmented reality, or widespread gaming - a group equally at home in virtual environments as physical ones. It’s also a generation whose resilience, technological skills, and love of world-building are leading us towards an incredible new future for work, play, fashion, and society.
And they will bring on the next version of the internet -- the metaverse.
Enjoy the show.
