Abstract

Neos is a virtual reality metaverse that reinvents and generalizes the way social experiences and various virtual creations are built, to let them all coexist in one shared space. The innovative underlying architecture, based on simple, yet powerful building blocks in an expandable future-proof way, is designed to dynamically synchronize complex worlds and behaviors built directly from within Neos. With a rapidly growing community, the potential for a rich Neos in-verse economy emerges as a way for content creators and service providers to make a living in Neos, and help it to grow into a vibrant, desirable place: a spatial computing platform of choice.
