The “metaverse” isn’t tied to AR/VR.
The metaverse , in most common definitions, refers to a virtual world and ecosystem as an alternate for the real one. See Ready Player One.
Second life is a metaverse platform in essence. But isn’t VR.
Fortnite is a metaverse but isn’t VR. Their programming language is even called Verse.
The Quest itself isn’t a metaverse product BUT Horizon Worlds (not The confusingly named HorizonOS) is. You can participate in Horizon without a headset.
Apple has no metaverse product. There might be metaverse products on Apple devices but that’s no different than an iPhone or Mac playing the things I mentioned above.
There is almost no definition of metaverse that includes augmented reality.
- leptons 2y ago>Second life is a metaverse platform in essence. But isn’t VR. Second Life can and has been used with a VR headset, so yeah, it is in essence VR. Whether or not it's a good experience doesn't matter, Second Life certainly can meet the requirement for "virtual reality", depending on your definition of "VR".
- dagmx 2y agoThere are VR mods for many games but nobody considers them VR games. But if we’re being pedantic, then “Second Life doesn’t require VR”. It predates mainstream VR headsets by a decade.
