#Mindcandy are scenario prompts to help companies formulate strategy. Find out more here.
Scenario prompt 28 July 2025
The prompt for today is Roblox. Simulating 3D reality. What are your plans for the metaverse. A new reality is coming in, and artificial intelligence and immersive technologies will fundamentally change our lives, impacting not only how we work and play but also how we perceive our world, engage our surroundings, and interact with each other
The other scenario prompts are personalisation, transformation, artificial cells, an entanglement battery, managing billions of atoms at once, and you are the upgrade.

This is Personal: The Do’s and Don’ts of Personalization in Tech
91% of consumers are more likely to shop with brands that recognize them, remember them, and provide relevant offers and recommendations.5 On top of that, 83% of consumers are willing to share their data to enable a personalized experience.

Researchers have successfully built the simplest artificial cell ever that can navigate using chemicals, much like living cells do
He didn’t set out to create a kids’ company. Roblox’s “Builderman” wound up with one anyway.
The long-term vision — was: to what extent could we simulate 3D reality? It takes incredible technical innovation to get there. It’s very different than downloading a game. It’s very different than streaming video. It’s the fabric of the metaverse. Read https://www.ronimmink.com/immersive-reality-from-clicking-to-behaving/
In a first, quantum entanglement is made reversible with the help of unique battery
https://interestingengineering.com/science/second-law-of-quantum-entanglement
The researchers support their findings using a novel concept called an entanglement battery, which allows entanglement to flow in and out of quantum systems without being lost, much like a regular battery stores and supplies energy.
