Tim Draper discusses ZCast, a 360-degree camera and 3D media format with roughly 20 patents. The technology works on flat screens now and will scale to VR headsets, supporting live streaming, interactive objects, and AI-powered decentralized storytelling.

It's a completely new media format. Multidimensional 3D. Do you have a VR headset? No. And so we focused on billions of devices that exist. So what's special about your format? We have 20 patents on this format combined. What's special about it? We allow you to import 360 and spatial content, interactive objects, live and on-demand streaming, and then we leverage AI and Web3 to create a completely decentralized mechanism to, to tell stories on flat devices and eventually these headsets.
