Today’s guest is Will McDonald, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Miris.

Miris is rethinking how high-fidelity 3D content gets delivered at scale. Their thesis: the future of 3D depends entirely on simplifying distribution.

In that vein… we talk about why pixel streaming falls short, how Miris uses volumetric data instead, and why that matters for everything from e-commerce and gaming to robotics and simulation.

Will and I worked together for many years at AWS, so we also dive into lessons learned from Amazon’s customer obsessed culture, what it gets right, and experience of going from big tech back into startups.

If you care about spatial computing and simulation, and where the 3D internet is heading, this one’s worth the time.

With that I bring you, Will McDonald.
