My intuition is that the games industry will be closest to creating the metaverse, but will ultimately fail. I think the cultural expectation of realistic graphics will ultimately be a boondoggle. Painters showed a long time ago that realism doesn’t really “get you there”. I think a single rogue artist will create it, not using any industrial tools at all. Existing tools have too much baggage, everything will have to be as light as possible, which means from scratch and half built. Each piece will barely function.
