In this episode of Layer by Layer, we are joined by Paul Powers, CEO of Physna, to discuss the past, present, and future of Thangs.

Discover the genesis of Physna, born from a desire to bridge the gap in 3D search technology, and how Paul and his team navigated the complexities of using "physical DNA" to create a search engine that understands the geometry of 3D objects. This pioneering technology has enabled the identification, analysis, and comparison of 3D models, paving the way for innovations in various industries.

We also discuss the technical and ethical challenges of protecting 3D files, the potential of generative AI in 3D modeling, and how the future of 3D technology, according to Paul, lies in its integration with VR and AR, transforming how we interact with the digital world.
