Transverse, diverse, universe, metaverse, versatile. Odd way to start I know, but for most there doesn’t seem to be a solidified answer to what the metaverse is. Ask most people and they will say that the metaverse is a mere extension of what Facebook is developing—a misconception that it's "Facebook on steroids."
This could not be further from the truth and in this episode, we’ll uncover the true potential of the metaverse within the construction sector and how it holds the promise of reshaping the industry in profound and exciting ways.
Before we do that we need to take a step back and look at the broader picture here in terms of construction and digital transformation. Where do we start with this kind of change that can present a plethora of opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and positive transformations within construction? I suppose we better start by meeting the chap who will help us through answering this question and more.
Our guest today, Henry Fenby-Taylor founded his company, Athenophilia (the love of wisdom) in 2019 after a diverse professional career of 19 years writing books, delivering digital twins, information management, innovation, research and providing science communication.
As the former Head of Information Management for the Centre for Digital Built Britain, he brings with him a breadth of experience from research to implementation that includes everything from getting his hands dirty on projects to leading programmes of work for clients. Henry has also worked as a digital consultant working on diverse projects in sectors from Nuclear to Water.
Henry is also a firm believer in the power of entrepreneurialism and innovation to solve many of the problems facing the built environment today and that this innovation can help deliver greater sustainability and profitability.
