"We firmly believe that the future of the Internet is going to be immersive... these devices are going to come to replace all of our phones, all of our tablets, essentially all of our screens and computers eventually. And we as humans are going to be able to interact with content in a way that is much more conducive to how we interact with the world around us." - Justin Melillo, CEO of Mona
