“The Spatial Web and Web 3.0What business leaders should know about the next era of computing
As futuristic as it sounds, early-stage applications of the Spatial Web or Web 3.0 are already here. Now is the time for leaders to understand what this next era of computing entails, how it could transform businesses, and how it can create new value as it unfolds. Emerging definitions: Web 3.0 and the Spatial Web”). It is the next evolution in computing and information technology (IT), on the same trajectory that began with Web 1.0 and our current Web 2.0. We are now seeing the Spatial Web (Web 3.0) unfold, which will eventually eliminate the boundary between digital content and physical objects that we know today. We call it “spatial” because digital information will exist in space, integrated and inseparable from the physical world.”
According to Peter Diamandis:
“…the world around us is about to light up with layer upon layer of rich, fun, meaningful, engaging, and dynamic data. Data you can see and interact with. This magical future ahead is called the Spatial Web and will transform every aspect of our lives, from retail and advertising, to work and education, to entertainment and social interaction.”

Blockchain technology is not new, but figuring out the best use cases and applications to improve the real estate experience between all parties and/or create more accessibility to the real estate market in general, is a work in progress. Proptech is another term for solutions leveraging innovation in technology in the property and real estate space, to bring beneficial improvements to consumers and the industry. Web 3, blockchain and proptech, deserve a blog post of it’s own, so stay tuned for that.
