Speaker intro Kunho Kim https://doorlabs.io/ https://twitter.com/door_labs https://twitter.com/iamkunhokim Kunho Kim is a co-founder of Door Labs, which strives to connect on and off line with NFTs. Founding Harvard-MIT Asia Blockchain Conference, Kunho Kim has previously founded a crypto payments processing platform and Ethereum coding bootcamp in Asia. Prior to his experience in blockchain, as a wheelchair user, Kunho Kim self-published a 400-page wheelchair travel guidebook after completing a cross-continental road trip from San Francisco to Boston. He also founded a social enterprise in South Korea that created Seoul's first wheelchair accessible metro map. Inspired from his previous projects Kunho, at Door Labs, is dedicated to use non-fungible tokens to incentivize users to bring more equitable world. Their first project, Wheel Cards, which is the world's first wheelchair NFTs, proved that NFTs can be used as a medium to incentivize users to input wheelchair accessibility information on Google Maps. After realizing how NFTs can be used to create social changes like the Wheel Cards project, he and his team are now dedicated to create an inclusive metaverse, because they believe diversity should be taken into account from the start and this inclusive metaverse will take a critical role in the future as diversity becomes more and more important both on and off line. Talk description "Door Labs: building an inclusive metaverse" In web2.0, diversity has been tacked on like an afterthought. web3.0 should be different. That is why we are creating an inclusive metaverse. We are using non-fungible tokens to incentivize users both on and off lines to embrace diversity. In this presentation, we will discuss about 1. what we mean by an inclusive metaverse 2. our approach to incentivize users with non-fungible tokens 3. how this project can scale. We are excited to share this one of the first experiments in metaverse/non-fungible token to bring real-life social changes!
