It appears you’re redefining the word “metaverse” to mean social media. That’s not the same metaverse that everyone else is talking about, which involves putting on VR goggles and zoning out from the real world.
VR and social media are absolutely not the same thing. One takes over your sensory inputs and 100% of your attention. The other you can do on your phone at the same time as other things.

- pessimizer 4y agoIf you're being nice. If you're not, it's Habbo Hotel but in VR.
- contextfree 4y agoI always thought a metaverse was defined as a virtual 3D world that is composed or federated across multiple apps or servers from different sources (that's what the "meta" part signifies, right?), so the OS-like and/or protocol-like things that structure the composition or federation are the core of a metaverse. So under this definition it doesn't depend on AR or VR, it can just be rendered to 2D displays like regular video games.
- throwaheyy 4y agoSure, but that’s not the metaverse that Meta is trying to sell. They are trying to sell VR specifically.
