This is the WebRTC BackRooms, a podcast series deep-scrolling into XR, AI, and the future of hanging out in the spatial internet.

In this first episode together with Rosa we interrogate resolutions, image standards, and politics of seeing. We ask what defines an image, what defines seeing, and what gets erased when technology resolves the world into sight. The discussion follows Rosa Menkman’s long-term research into compression errors, resolution limits, and the technical choices that shape visibility. Resolution is approached as a compromise rather than a neutral condition, shaped by efficiency, standards, and exclusions.
