But we already have this dream. It's called the internet. And video games. And movies. :)
The question of "metaverse" is:
1. Do we need a head strapped device? Does it add enough to the experience to justify it?
2. Do we need those experiences be more connected and owned by one rent collecting platform?
My answer to both is a firm no, both make it strictly worse. But it's a personal answer, we'll see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Meta obviously wants it to be double "yes" to sell those head strapped devices and collect this rent. But this doesn't make it true)
- wslh 3y agoFirst I don't think "metaverse" is clearly defines as "house". In a way similar to Web3. I think Torrent was already part of Web3 as PET (Privacy-enhancing technologies). Now, I don't know if metaverse is equal to a head strapped device but I think one part of this umbrella term is some compatibility between games or worlds like a character that could be useful in different games by different vendors with some features embedded. Regarding VR, I tried the technologies, liked them for "a few minutes", feel the dizziness but mainly the issue I found is a lack of apps. The hardware there is incredible and will be more in the future. But, again, my point is the future, and in the future probably you will just connect it to your brain. Don't know when.
