Yeah, the zoom replacement looks really cool. Butt... The biggest problem I have doing zoom calls with family is an unstable internet connection at their end and I don't think the metaverse is going to be able to solve that. And besides, I'm certainly not going to pay 500$ for a headset just for Awesome VR calls, if i can just use a phone call. The biggest potential is being able to work remotely. Just imagine all the remote work Metaverse could make possible. And 500$ headset might just be in the budget for a midsized company looking to expand it's workforce.

Ok, something I’ve thought about is the Metaverse version of video calls couuuuld require less bandwidth than video calls. Because you don’t have to send every frame — instead it’s the one time cost of a model, and then animations data + voice streaming. And, maybe you can interpolate better since the domain space is human activity instead of an arbitrary video.
