QPORIT XR
QPORIT XR
Spatial Web Development
for Productions
eXtended Reality (XR) : The totality of Technology, Issues, Economics, Epistemology and CONTENT exploding in power EXPONENTIALLY.
webXRasting: That means 24/7 webcasting in XR, with live and on demand programming, using all the possibilities of eXtended Reality! It’s pronounced webzrasting!
Spatial Web (also called
webXR or web 3.0) : Using VR, AR & MR,
the Internet expands from a small rectangular screen to the full 3D 360 space
of the world.
Right now, with new technological, social, and creative
developments over the last few months, the momentum for XR has exploded!
THE TIME TO BEGIN IS NOW.
GO TO! … THE
TIME IS RIPE!
“Elevator pitch“
eXtended Reality is the totality of Technology, Issues, Economics, Epistemology and CONTENT exploding in excitement because of the EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN DIGITAL POWER.
New technology PROVED its worth during the 10 months.
I invented the term eXtended Reality in 2015, and I am inventing the company that brings it to webXR and from there to everyone online.
The interactive content industry is already huge.
Streaming is huge, enabled by 4G.
Now, 5G and all the other pieces of eXtended Reality are
about to double the possibilities in the next 2-3 years. That means as much
change in the next 2-3 years as there has been since the digital chip was first
produced. That’s what doubling means. (Doubling
is what exponential growth does!!!)
I created a prototype webXR site, current loading media and performing alpha testing.
I created the QPORIT website with the QPORIT XR Newsroom and more than 1,000 articles over several years.
I have given talks on eXtended Reality – both overviews
and special topic deep dives – at many venues, for several years. I am the organizer of the StoryForward and
StoryCode Meetups, plus NYXR – the New York eXtended Reality Meetup, with a
total membership of more than 3,000 members.
Current status
Loading content and testing software.
Planning to bein hiring.
Planning to begin serving XR news, performances, and interviews to QPORIT XR, a webXR Internet site. (It will be viewable in 2D on any computer, and in 3D XR when viewed in an XR headset like Oculus QUEST.) Then, gradually, add
- other “variety” content
including live and pre-recorded 3D 360 theater and music.
- Collaborations and
business services to performers and to other companies beginning to develop webXR productions.
Current funding
Self-funded for the prototype. Planning for seed and angel financing, and preparing for a series A round.

Technology changes very, very fast … doubling in power every two or three years since the mid 1960’s. Music, Theater, and Storytelling are thousands and thousands of years old, but the ways that stories are told keeps evolving.
Right now there is a NEXUS, a special connection, between live theatrical events and EXTENDED REALITY. Both rejoice in the proximity of the viewer with the event participants.
THIS PROJECT: I have a very simple project. I have been interviewing world leaders in theater, film, public affairs, and technology for years. Now I am going to start broadcasting interviews and other events live to a global audience, in EXTENDED REALITY, then expand to all variety of productions using XR and the Spatial Web, making this technology available, and democratizing XR.
The most important feature of Virtual Reality (VR) is
that it makes viewers feel they are actually in a place. The camera is the eyes and ears of the
viewer, and it seems like they are right where the camera is. Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)
bring a production to the viewer in their own space. XR includes and uses VR,
MR, AR, plus AI, 5G, and much more!
EXTENDED REALITY amplifies local events to a global audience. Interviews, red carpets, readings, theater, music, and other live events are perfect material for LIVE XR.
EXTENDED REALITY right now is
like early radio; it’s like early cinema; it’s like early
television. XR is for early users now, but
change happens now faster and faster. The time is NOW to begin XR live broadcasting.
Content, of all kinds, (especially remote and online!)
is now in tremendous demand. Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Apple (all
working on XR), plus many others, are all
looking for content. Music, performances,
interviews, and other live events are perfect content for XR. XR content will
soon be in high demand. It will be a platform differentiator, because it is so
special.
I hope you will join this adventure in
EXTENDED REALITY!
