What is the idea/mission behind your team?
We are passionate about giving anyone the ability to add their own meaning to any space – by infusing it with data, interactivity, and intelligence. In doing so, we aim to maximize meaningful dialog between all people, to unify the human digital and physical experience, and to help bring about a more equitable, inclusive, and relevant future version of the Web.
