About this episode
Diego Di Tommaso, co-founder of OVR, joins Dustin Plantholt on Bitcoin.com Interviews to discuss how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain innovation are merging with augmented reality (AR) to create immersive, decentralized experiences in the metaverse economy.
OVR is a world-scale, open-source AR platform powered by Ethereum and now migrating to Polygon for scalability and reduced gas fees. The platform enables users with mobile devices or AR glasses to experience interactive, location-based augmented reality — unlocking a new digital layer of the physical world. With its Map2Earn model, OVR allows users to contribute to mapping the real world and earn crypto rewards, while supporting cross-metaverse assets and even digital fashion experiences. Diego explains how Bitcoin’s decentralization principles inspired OVR’s open ecosystem, where users control content, identity, and monetization.
