Reshaping the discrete world into a digital continuum with World-Engine.
Overview
Zeno is a comprehensive platform designed to create a persistent, shared digital layer over the physical world. Our mission is to establish a set of models and a robust system to describe and connect the physical world with dynamic virtual worlds.
This platform offers a business model of next-generation interaction, which could utilize and digitize the space of the physical world. There are many ideas such as AR experiences, robots or AI agents tasks, digital ads, space monetization etc.

                                            Blended Universe for 
                                            Humans, Robots & AI Agents
                                        
                                        By digitizing physical spaces and overlaying multiple parallel virtual worlds, we offer a blended universe for real world agents, including human beings, robots, smart devices, and virtual world agents, including human controlled avatars, AI-powered NPCs, and other bot-like programs to live together.
Core
Concepts
01
                                        Real World, 
Virtual Worlds, 
Spatial Anchors                                    
                                One physical world we inhabit as both human or robots with multi-digital worlds created on top of the digitally-mapped real world in phenomenal zones. Multiple, separate virtual worlds can coexist and overlap with the same physical coordinates. Similar to lighthouses on a dark ocean, the space anchors work like a torch that lights up the surroundings. And multiple anchors construct a web of anchors layer that bridges the physical and digital worlds, supporting spatial discovery and access controls.
02
Agents
An entity object lives in a virtual world, and may or may not have its representation in the real world. It can represent a human, human-controlled avatar, robot, AI-powered NPC, or anything that can actively be somewhere and able to do something like observing, moving or interacting with the environment and other agents in the blended worlds.
03
World Engine
Drives a virtual world and runs all agents (including human driven, robot driven or NPCs) follow certain rules in the world engine and are involved or do their designated tasks by themselves. Like the physical world that is ruled by physics laws, the virtual worlds are driven by virtual world engines with alternative sets of rules, similar to reality or purely magical.
04
The Zeno World
The unique public virtual world for the entire earth, called “The Zeno World”, 1:1 mapping the public area of the physical earth run by world engine. This world is run by the platform itself, to provide an arena for everyone on earth to digitally inhabitate and play. They could place and consume content, interact with agents, like robots, NPCs, AI-bots. Some users are also content creators or developers but they can interact directly in this public open world.

                                                one of the early members of Google X, contributing to AI products such as

                                                trained in advanced mathematical theory and problem-solving at two of the world's
                                                leading institutions. His research in Galois theory taught him to study the deep
                                                symmetries underlying algebraic equations. This involves recognizing hidden structures,
                                                reasoning about invariants and working with abstract groups, which translates naturally
                                                into spatial intelligence, a field that seeks to uncover the structural rules of the
