With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) taking place this week, I wanted to explore how easy it would be for a developer to create a digital twin of Las Vegas that can be accessed from any computer with a quick download.


I’ve heard lots of hype about new no-code tools that allow anyone to rapidly create virtual experiences, but I’ve been skeptical that it can be done quickly by creative designers with no programming skills.


To test whether the reality lives up to the hype, I challenged Agora World CEO Ethan Berg to create a digital twin of Las Vegas in 20 minutes or less without writing any code. To be specific, I asked him to build an immersive experience that would place me at my hotel (the Luxor) and that would give me a virtual path I could follow from the hotel to the convention center.

" The XR community attracts so many interesting people. People that inspire me. Some of them are behavioral scientists, visionary creatives, technical geniuses. Others are hustlers. Young people who see an opportunity. An opportunity to build the future they want to live in with their friends and with their families. Ethan Berg brings some really incredible energy into the industry and I feel so much inspiration after our conversation. He caught the entrepreneur bug in college selling coffees to kids on campus, almost like a more thoughtful version of the classic lemonade stand ☕️ 💰 Then he tried VR and everything changed. Like me, he's not a coder or a design expert. He's a guy who see's problems and has a passion for building solutions. With Agora World he's building a no code solution for virtual world creation. They started by plugging into Shopify and providing fully immersive virtual reality shopping experiences, and since pivoted more into web based creation. Almost like the wix or squarespace of the metaverse. Really enjoyed learning more about his story and excited to share it with you." - Ricky Huock (MetaRick)
