I'm a {calculateAge(newDate("2001-10-30"))} year old programmer and tech enthusiast from The Netherlands. I am an entrepeneur with the dream of creating the next generation of chatting freedom online with my company Flame Software.

Bart Industries is my public digital home. It's a collection of my socials, work experiences and past projects, artworks, hobbies and interests, fursonas and anything else I feel like sharing with the world.

There have definitely been ups an downs, and in this post I'd like to touch a little on what it took to get here and the lessons I learned along the way.",

Being a furry is an important hobby and a creative outlet for me. In the digital world I express myself as Mid, an anthropomorphic cat with black fur and blue hair. You'll see him in some places on this website. There are also Martin the pine marten, Seffy the protogen, Koffie the rexouium and many more.

I believe the Metaverse is already here, and it's been here for years. The reason people haven't realized is because the thing companies sell us is not what the metaverse is actually about:
<br/><br/>
<iclass="text-lg">
VR is a world of the free where anything is possible. Entire cities erected from a few button clicks. Friendships and communities built on creativity and compassion.
A place where anyone can be what they truly want to be without limitation. A place where humanity's light shines brighter than anywhere else.

<br/><br/>
And big tech takes those who already built the metaverse for fools, and sells us a future that is the same dull office space we're already dragging ourselves through in the real world.
VR is a world of the free where anything is possible. A place where entire cities can be erected from just a few button clicks. A place where friendships and communities are built on creativity and compassion. A place where anyone can be what they truly want to be without limitation. A place where freedom flourishes and humanity's light shines brighter than anywhere else.
<br/><br/>
So I joined these passionate and creative minds and started making my own worlds and communities, building a digital home for myself. The pictures here are some of the moments and places the world of VR has allowId me to create and witness.
Despite what the failures of big-tech's attemps at creating a metaverse may make you think, VR is a very real and very big world consisting of millions of creative individuals with plenty of proven business models.
Because of my adventures in virtual reality I have gained knowledge surrounding things such as:
Game development (Unity), texturing (Substance Painter) and animating (Unity Animators).
Most of the avatars shown in the pictures are hand-made by me.

<br/><br/>
On top of that, I know my way around the world of VR.
Through my years of running events where people come together and celebrate VR I know the people and where to find them, and how to use VR to create success and push new frontiers.
In my experience auxiliary skills like knowing how to get around on a Linux server, or in this case having knowledge of various 3D computer tools, often come in handy even when working in a completely different field. They make you a more versatile person with a broader range of knowledge that'll help inspire and solve difficult problems with unique solutions.
Despite the "Metaverse" seemingly failing, the world of VR is huge. Companies like Disney already take it seriously, and every year millions of people from all over the world come together in events to celebrate it.
