The Unlock for the Spatial Web w/ Sean Mann and Dean Abramson
About this episode
Today’s guests are building one of the most ambitious startups in the entire spatial computing industry.
The company is called RP1, and we’re sitting down with co-founders Sean Mann and Dean Abramson.
On its face, RP1 is the world’s first true metaverse browser, trying to do for spatial computing what browsers like Mosaic and Internet Explorer did for the web.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Beneath the surface, RP1 is so much more... They’re building all the infrastructure and protocols required for a truly spatial internet—one where immersive, persistent digital worlds stream on demand, where physical and virtual environments seamlessly merge, and where millions of users can interact in one, shared world, not a bunch of silo’d virtual experiences.
In this episode, we dive into what RP1 actually is, how it scales to millions of users, and why they believe app stores must die.
We also unpack their vision for the core backbone of this future, a Spatial Fabric—a kind of real-time, distributed protocol for the metaverse that manages everything from identity and maps to avatars and live services.
This one’s technical, philosophical, and wildly ambitious. Let’s get into it.
