Modularity, Metaverse, and an Open Source Mindset

Tales from the 3rd Dimension

The Open 3D Engine (O3DE) has its roots in Lumberyard. Terry Michaels, head of engineering for the Game Engine and Developer Services team at Amazon Web Services (AWS), talks with Royal about the relationship between the two, dispelling a few myths along the way. Encouraging broader contributions enables the modularity that makes the engine relevant to a wider range of industries, which aligns with the AWS commitment to open standards and open innovation. Terry and Royal explore some big thinking about the Metaverse and the shift in philosophy from competition to collaboration that is required to catapult the technology into the future for the benefit of all.
